Abstract

Background: Globally, there are many challenges in the practice of motivational compassionate care practice, particularly in public hospitals. However, there is no study about motivational and compassionate care practice in Ethiopia, specifically in South Wollo Zone. Thus, this study was aimed to assess motivational, compassionate care practice and associated factors among nurses working in South Wollo Zone public hospitals.

Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 409 nurses working in South Wollo Zone public hospitals from April to May 2023. The study participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected by using self-administered questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi-Data version 4.6.1 then exported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 26 for further analyses. In bivarable logistic regression analysis, variables having P-value of <0.25 were candidated to multivariable analysis. From multivariable analysis, variables having p-value of <0.05 declared as stastically significant. The strength of association was expressed using Odds ratio along with 95% confidence interval.

 Results: The magnitude of motivational and compassionate care practice was 43% (95% CI: 38.2-47.9) and 47.4% (95% CI: 42.5-52.3) respectively. Predictors of motivational care were: Being male (AOR=1.62 (95% CI: 1.07-2.45)), acknowledgment (AOR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.04-2.42) and being focal person 9 AOR=0.61 (95% CI: 0.4-0.9). Working facility, general hospital (AOR=2.64 (95% CI: 1.15-6.03) comprehensive specialized hospital (AOR=4.30 (95% CI: 2.01-9.1), training access (AOR=0.56, 95% CI: (0.37-0.85) and being male (AOR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.070-2.497) were predictors of compassionate care practice.

Conclusion and recommendation: The magnitude of motivational and compassionate care practice among nurses in this study was below half. Being male, being focal person and acknowledgment were predictors of motivational care practice whereas being male, working facility and training access were predictors of compassionate care practice. We recommended that hospitals better to provide training to nurses on motivational and compassionate care practice.
