Description
Yuan Gao and co-authors gauge how ready Chinese nurses feel for new infectious diseases in a 2026 survey built around mpox. Nurses stand at the front line for spotting cases and stopping spread. A recent mpox outbreak gave a real test of that readiness.
The online survey drew 387 nurses from 24 regions between January and March 2024. Most nurses scored well on mpox knowledge, and nearly all held positive attitudes toward control work. Nurses with higher rank and those who had workplace training on mpox knew more. Knowledge and attitudes also rose together. The authors call for steady, structured training so readiness does not fade between outbreaks.
