Genitalia-related nursing embarrassment and its associated factors among female nurses in mainland China: a nationwide cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genital-related care is a common nursing procedure and may cause embarrassment for nurses. However, nurses' level of embarrassment and the factors associated with embarrassment have been scarcely studied. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate genitalia-related care's embarrassment and its associated factors among Chinese female nurses.

Methods

Online questionnaires regarding the frequency of genitalia-related care and the embarrassment level were distributed to female nurses from the gynecology and urology departments between October and December 2019. Participants also completed the Chinese version of the professional identity scale for nurses and the Jefferson scale of empathy. Mantel-Haenszel chi-square and ordinal logistic regression
