ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of perceived organizational support on the relationship between personality traits and perceived self-efficacy of male nurses.Methods:A total of 766 male nurses from 20 level-A general hospitals in Shandong province were selected by convenience sampling method in December 2020. The general status questionnaire, the simplified version of Big Five Personality Inventory, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale and the General Self-efficacy Scale were used to investigate them.Results:The total score and average item score of 766 male nurses' sense of organizational support was 44.05±9.31, 3.38±0.72, and the total score and average item score of general self-efficacy was 26.19±5.65, 2.62±0.57. In 766 male nurses, perceived organizational support had a partial mediating effect on neuroticism and openness, with effect values of 21.71% and 10.19%, respectively. In addition, perceived organizational support had a complete mediating effect on conscientiousness and self-efficacy.Conclusions:The organizational support and self-efficacy of 766 male nurses were above average, and organizational support played a mediating role in the relationship between neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness and general self-efficacy.Nursing managers should give more organizational support to male nurses to change the influence of neuroticism, responsibility, agreeableness and open personality traits on self-efficacy, so as to improve the level of self-efficacy of male nurses.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the relationship between pain, negative emotions (anxiety and depression), insomnia and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and explore the multiple mediating effects of negative emotions and insomnia on pain and fatigue.Methods:A total of 240 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were selected from Northern Theater General Hospital from October 2018 to January 2019. The general questionnaire, Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Multi-Dimensional Questionnaire,Visual Analogue Scale,The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Asens Insomnia Scale were used to investigate the demographic data, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, respectively. SPSS 20.0 was used for correlation analysis, and Mplus 7.0 was used for mediation analysis.Results:The fatigue score of patients with rheumatoid arthritis was (28.88±14.89), which was moderate. The score of Visual Analogue Scale was 4(2-7), the score of insomnia was 7(3-11), the score of anxiety was 5(3-8), the score of depression was 7(4-11). There was a positive correlation between fatigue and pain, negative emotion and insomnia ( r values were 0.432-0.950, P<0.01). Negative emotions and insomnia had a partial mediating effect between pain and fatigue, with mediating effects accounting for 56.44% of the total effect. Conclusions:The fatigue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is moderate; fatigue is associated with pain, negative emotions, and insomnia; negative emotions and insomnia have multiple mediating effects between pain and fatigue.
ABSTRACT
Objective:Use latent class analysis to classify fatigue symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and to explore differences in demographic and disease-related characteristics in different fatigue categories.Methods:Convenient sampling was used to select 250 rheumatoid arthritis patients in Northern Theater General Hospital, and the patients were investigated by a general questionnaire and Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Multi-Dimensional Questionnaire.Results:The symptoms of fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were divided into 3 categories ( P<0.05). According to the conditional probability of each category, they were named as no or mild fatigue (62, 25.1%), moderate fatigue (113, 45.7%) and severe fatigue (72, 29.1%). Joint pain and use of biological agents were major factors influencing fatigue( P<0.05). Conclusions:Joint pain and the use of biologics affect fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis patients. It is recommended that health caregivers pay attention to patients with high pain scores and not using biologics, and give corresponding nursing interventions according to the degree of fatigue.
