Analysis of attitude, behavior intention and influencing factors of community medical staff on respite care

Abstract Objective To investigate the attitude and behavior intention of community medical staff towards respite services and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the development of respite services. Methods A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 348 community medical staff to conduct a survey through the questionnaire star. Single factor and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the factors affecting the attitude and behavior intention of community medical staff. Results The attitude score of community medical staff was 43.64, the behavioral intention score was 27.79, and the attitude and behavioral intention scores were low. The results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that educational background, occupation, relationship with the elderly at home, whether there were family members who could not take care of themselves due to major diseases, whether they had the experience of taking care of the elderly, and whether they had received knowledge training in respite services were the factors affecting the attitude of community medical staff to respite services ( P < 0.05 ). Educational background, working years, whether there are family members who cannot take care of themselves due to major diseases, whether they have the experience of taking care of the elderly, whether they know the respite services, whether they have received knowledge training in respite services and whether they know the respite services are the factors affecting the behavioral intention of community medical staff (P < 0.05). Conclusion The attitude of community medical staff towards respite services is not positive, and their behavioral intention is low. There are many factors affecting attitude and behavioral intention. It is necessary to strengthen the training of respite services knowledge for medical staff with low education and short working years, strengthen the cultivation of empathy and empathy ability of medical staff, carry out multi-level publicity of respite services, and improve people’s awareness and acceptance of respite services, so as to promote the development of respite services industry and promote healthy aging.
