ABSTRACT
BackgroundCompared with absenteeism， health-related productivity loss has a long-lasting negative effect， and poses a greater harm and loss. The health-related productivity loss is mediated by self-efficacy， and perceived social support has been shown to have an impact on health-related productivity loss， whereas the interaction mechanism among the three remains unclear. ObjectiveTo investigate the status of perceived social support， occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss among ICU nurses， and to test the mediation role of perceived social support in the relationship between occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss. MethodsFrom September to November， 2021， purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 468 ICU nurses in 8 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province. Subjects were assessed using self-made general information questionnaire， Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS）， Occupational Coping Self Efficacy Scale for Nurses （OCSE-N） and Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6 （SPS-6）. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation among variables. Amos 24.0 was utilized to test the mediation role of perceived social support in the relationship between occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss. ResultsA total of 415 ICU nurses completed the valid questionnaire survey. ICU nurses scored （63.13±11.62） on PSSS， （22.24±6.15） on OCSE-N， and （16.83±4.24） on SPS-6. Health-related productivity loss was detected in 279 ICU nurses （67.23%）. Correlation analysis denoted that PSSS total score was positively correlated with OCSE-N total score （r=0.348， P<0.05）， and negatively correlated with SPS-6 total score （r=-0.274， P<0.05）. OCSE-N total score was negatively correlated with SPS-6 total score （r=-0.421， P<0.05）. The direct effect value of occupational coping self-efficacy on health-related productivity loss was -0.401， and perceived social support showed a mediation role in the relationship between occupational coping self-efficacy and health-related productivity loss （the indirect effect value was -0.052， accounting for 11.48% of the total effect）. ConclusionThe occupational coping self-efficacy of ICU nurses may affect the health-related productivity loss through the action path of perceived social support.［Funded by Scientific Research Project of Sichuan Provincial Health Commission （number， 19PJ042）］
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the core emergency response capabilities of medical workers for corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency, in order to provide references for improving emergency level. Methods By means of convenient sampling, the general information questionnaire and the medical staff's 2019-new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) core emergency capability questionnaire were used to conduct this survey, and the status of 2019-nCoV core emergency capability of 629 clinical medical staff was analysed. Results The score of core emergency response capability of medical staff for 2019-nCoV was (135.60±21.73)points, with a score rate of 73.3%; the score of preventive capability dimension was (11.69±1.96)points, with a score rate of 77.93%; the score of preparation ability dimension was (20.79±4.18)points, and the score rate was 69.30%; the score of rescue ability was (103.11±16.93)points, with a scoring rate of 73.57%. Conclusion The core emergency response capability of medical worker for 2019-nCoV and its dimensions are at a medium level. At the present stage, the training of core knowledge of medical personnel 2019-nCoV should be strengthened, effective measures should be taken to improve the alleviation of weakness in rescue, and the self-psychological adjustment of medical personnel should be strengthened to improve the core emergency response capability of medical worker.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of differentiation acupoint massage on the level of blood pressure control and self-efficacy in the elderly with hypertension with yin-deficiency and yangexcess under the model of empowerment education.Methods 80 elderly with hypertension with yin-deficiency and yang-excess were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group with 40 patients in each group.Both of them received health education of differentiation acupoint massage consisted of 4 weekly sessions.The intervention group received it under the model of empowerment education whilst the other under the model of the general health education.After 4 weeks of sessions,all patients were followed up for 3 months.The blood pressure value was measured before the sessions and 4 weeks and 3 months after the sessions.The scores of self-efficacy was collected before and 3 months later.Results There were significant differences in the blood pressure,self-efficacy between the two groups after the intervention.Conclusions Differentiation acupoint massage under the model of empowerment education can significantly improve patients'self-efficacy and decrease the level of the blood pressure.
