Introduction: Control over nursing practice is crucial for improved quality of life for nursing home (NH) residents. Nevertheless, little is known about the association of nurses’ demographic data with their perceived control over nursing practice in Jordan and beyond. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the differences in nurses’ levels of perceived control over nursing practice based on their demographic characteristics. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on a convenience sample of 163 nurses caring for NH residents. Nurses’ perceived control over nursing practice was measured by the Control Over Nursing Practice (CONP) scale. Results: The participating nurses were found to have low levels of perceived control over nursing practice which varied between the nurse groups according to gender, level of experience, and type of NHs. Discussion/Conclusion: This study is the first quantitative study to examine association between nurses’ demographic characteristics, such as age or years of nursing experience, and their perceived control over nursing practice. Despite the preliminary findings of this study, the findings of this study provide a better understanding of the impact of nurses’ sociodemographic and professional characteristics on their levels of perceived control over nursing practice.

照顾疗养院居民的护士对护理实践的感知控制的人口统计数据差异

简介：对护理实践的控制对于提高疗养院 (NH) 居民的生活质量至关重要。然而，关于护士的人口统计数据与他们对约旦及其他地区护理实践的感知控制之间的关联知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在根据护士的人口学特征检验护士对护理实践的感知控制水平的差异。方法：这项描述性相关研究是对 163 名照顾 NH 居民的护士的便利样本进行的。护士对护理实践的感知控制通过护理实践控制 (CONP) 量表来衡量。结果：参与的护士被发现对护理实践的感知控制水平较低，这在护士组之间因性别、经验水平和 NH 类型而异。讨论/结论：本研究是第一个检验护士人口统计学特征（例如年龄或护理经验年限）与他们对护理实践的感知控制之间关联的定量研究。尽管本研究有初步结果，但本研究的结果更好地理解了护士的社会人口和专业特征对其对护理实践的感知控制水平的影响。
