Table 4: The comparison of scores for the recognition and practical situation of TCCN by each attribute and factors.
SD : Standard Deviation , 95%CI=95% Confidence interval , NS= Not Significant.
* p <0.05 , ** p <0.01, *** p < 0.001, ✳ Post hoc comparisons.
1) Welch’s t-test was used for the comparison between two groups, and 2) Welch’s one-way analysis of variance was used for the comparison between three groups. Dunnett’s T3-test was used for multiple comparisons. The level of answer of each indicator was evaluated as Strongly agree=5, Agree=4, Neither=3, Disagree=2, Strongly disagree=1. Factor 1: Training of nurses to provide optimal care, Factor 2: Empirical knowledge and whole human knowing, Factor 3: Utilization of information obtained from technology and continuous knowing, and Factor 4: Intentional and ethical nursing of persons.
