ABSTRACT
Objective:To examine the relationship between conflict management model, perceived social support and psychological distress in psychiatric nurses, and to analyze the mediating effect of conflict management model in the relationship between perceived social support and psychological distress in psychiatric nurses.Methods:In November 2019, a total of 208 nurses in Shandong Mental Health Center were investigated with General Demography Questionnaire, Nurses' Interpersonal Conflict Handling Form Scale, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and Perceived Social Support Scale.Results:The total score of psychological distress of psychiatric nurses was 22.74±7.71, and the level of psychological distress was negatively correlated with the integrated conflict management model and perceived social support ( r values were -0.329--0.266, P<0.001). The most commonly used conflict management model of psychiatric nurses was "integration". The integrated conflict management model had a partial mediating effect in perceived social support and psychological distress, and the mediating effect accounted for 20.2% of the total effect. Conclusions:Psychological distress of psychiatric nurses is at a moderate to severe level, and integrated conflict management model and perceived social support play an important role in reducing psychological distress of psychiatric nurses. Nursing administrators should carry out relevant intervention studies to improve nurse-patient conflict and guide nurses to adopt integrated conflict management model to reduce psychological distress and improve mental health level.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the situation of nursing handover among psychiatric nurses, and explore the association between perceived organizational support, self-efficacy and quality of nursing handover.Methods:A total of 186 clinical nurses in Shandong Mental Health Center were enrolled by convenience sampling method. They were assessed with handover evaluation scale, perceived organizational support scale and general self-efficacy scale for the evaluation of nursing handover, perceived organizational support and self-efficacy.Results:The average score of quality of nursing handover was 5.85±1.14, and bi-variate correlations were found between perceived organizational support, self-efficacy and quality of nursing handover. Self-efficacy could mediate the relationship between organizational support and nursing handover, and the value of mediating effect was 13.4%.Conclusions:Self-efficacy might mediate the relationship between perceived organizational support and nursing handover among psychiatric nurses.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To examine the potential mediating effect of perceived social support on job insecurity and psychological distress among clinical nurses.@*Methods@#A total of 462 clinical nurses in Shandong Province were selected by convenience sampling method. They were assessed with job insecurity scale, perceived social support and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) for the evaluation of job insecurity, self-esteem and psychological distress.@*Results@#The mean score of K10 was (23.72±7.22) points among clinical nurses, and 85.9% (397/462) of them had psychological distress problems. The K10 scores were positively correlated with the scores of job insecurity (r=-0.282, P<0.01), and the K10 scores were negatively correlated with perceived social support scores (r = -0.282, P<0.01). Job insecurity was negatively correlated with perceived social support (r = -0.365, P<0.01). The confidence interval from Bootstrap method indicated perceived social support played a partial mediating role between job insecurity and psychological distress, and the value of mediating effect was 13.7%.@*Conclusion@#The relation of perceived social support to job insecurity and psychological distress among clinical nurses are intimate. Perceived social support might mediate the relationship between job insecurity and psychological distress.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of work burnout of psychiatric nurses, and to provide theoretical basis for formulating intervention strategies for work burnout of psychiatric nurses.@*Methods@#A questionnaire was conducted on 812 nurses selected from 6 tertiary A psychiatric hospitals in Shandong province as the research object by stratified random sampling, and the questionnaire was conducted by using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and Emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ).@*Results@#There were significant differences in job burnout among psychiatric nurses with different educational background, age, nurse-patient conflict and income level. There were significant differences in the dimensions of job burnout among psychiatric nurses with different titles (P< 0.05), There were significant differences in emotional exhaustion (F=8.417, P=0.000) and depersonalization level (F=7.918, P=0.000) between psychiatric nurses with different frequency of nurse-patient conflict.There were significant differences in affective exhaustion (F=6.426, P=0.002) and personal accomplishment (F=3.444, P=0.032) between psychiatric nurses with different monthly income levels. Psychiatric nurses' age, working years, psychological distress, cognitive reappraisal, inhibition of expression were associated with job burnout (r=0.075~0.570) . Regression analysis revealed that the factors impacting emotion exhaustion (R2=0.374, F=81.627, P=0.000) and depersonalization (R2=0.240, F=65.014, P=0.000) were psychological distress, inhibition of expression, cognitive reappraisal, conflict between nurses and patients. The factors impacting diminished personal accomplishment (R2=0.199, F=68.332, P=0.000) were psychological distress, cognitive reappraisal and age.@*Conclusions@#The work fatigue of psychiatric nurses was at the moderate level. Emotional regulation and psychological distress were the influencing factors of job burnout.Nursing administrators in psychiatric department should pay attention to the improvement of nurses' sense of burnout, improve the ability of nurses' emotional management, cultivate positive mood and behavior pattern, reduce anxiety and depression and so on, so as to effectively improve the mental health level of nurses in psychiatric department.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current status and related factors of psychological distress in tele-phone operators.Methods:Totally 575 telephone operators from sample of a convenient survey in a certain telecom-munication company of Shandong Province were selected.They were assessed with Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10),Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10),Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS)and Sim-plified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ)for the evaluation of psychological distress,resilience,perceived social support and the coping style respectively.Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify the related factors of psy-chological distress.Results:The mean score of K10 was (24.7 ±6.7),91.8% (528 /575)of telephone operators had psychological distress.Specifically,24.5%(141 /575)had mild psychological distress,45.4% (261 /575)had moderate psychological distress,21.9% (126 /575)had severe psychological distress.Ordinal logistic regression a-nalysis indicated that the ones with good economic conditions (OR =1.74,95%CI:1.15 -2.63),higher level of re-silience (OR =1.13,95%CI:1.10 -1.17)and other social support (OR =1.07,95%CI:1.02 -1.12)had milder psychological distress;while with negative coping style (OR =0.29,95%CI:0.20 -0.41)had more severe psycho-logical distress.Conclusion:It suggested that the prevalence rate of psychological distress among telephone opera-tors is high.Poor economic conditions,lower level of resilience and social support,and negative coping style might be the related factors of psychological distress.
