Latent categories of nursing interaction needs in outpatients and their influencing factors
Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the latent categories of nursing interaction needs in outpatients and their influencing factors.MethodsA total of 1 134 outpatients who visited the outpatient department of a tertiary grade A general hospital from April to June 2026 were selected as the study subjects.A self⁃developed general information questionnaire and an outpatient nursing interaction needs survey questionnaire were used for the investigation. Mplus 8.3 software was used to conduct latent profile analysis.Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing the categories of nursing interaction needs in outpatients.ResultsThe total score of nursing interaction needs in outpatients was 155.46±20.34.The patients could be divided into three categories,namely the low nursing interaction needs group(132 cases,11.64%),the moderate nursing interaction needs group(481 cases,42.42%),and the high nursing interaction needs group(521 cases,45.94%).Logistic regression analysis showed that Gender,occupation,and the number of outpatient visits in the past year were influencing factors for the categories of nursing interaction needs in outpatients(all P<0.05).ConclusionsThere is group heterogeneity in the nursing interaction needs of outpatients.Outpatient nurses should identify the characteristics of patients' needs and provide differentiated interaction services to further improve patients' medical experience.
