Objective To understand the cognition and attitude on aortic dissection related knowledge among gastroenterology department nurses and to analyze the influencing factors of cognition. Methods From April 2018 to May 2018, we selected 227 gastroenterology department nurses from four ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Wuxi City as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the nurses were investigated with the self-designed aortic dissection related knowledge and attitude questionnaire. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of aortic dissection cognition of gastroenterology department nurses. Results The scores of aortic dissection cognition and attitude of gastroenterology department nurses were (48.04±16.48) and (37.41±9.63) respectively with total score 60-80 of aortic dissection knowledge in 33.48% (76/227) of them and total score >80 in 2.64% (6/227) of them. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of aortic dissection knowledge of gastroenterology department nurses with different education levels, working life in gastroenterology department, positional titles, whether provided nursing for or encountered aortic dissection patients, whether learned about aortic dissection knowledge (t/F=13.42, 10.02, 12.09, -17.81, -7.64; P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression showed that the influencing factors of aortic dissection cognition of gastroenterology department nurses included working life in gastroenterology department, whether provided nursing for aortic dissection patients and whether learned about aortic dissection knowledge. Conclusions Gastroenterology department nurses have a low level of aortic dissection related knowledge. Medical schools and nursing managers should pay attention to imparting aortic dissection related knowledge, pre-service training and nursing round so as to provide more opportunities for nurses to go out to attend academic conferences, improve the aortic dissection cognition and nursing competency of gastroenterology department nurses, reduce the fatality rate the aortic dissection or improve the prognosis of patients.
