Mediating effect of general self-efficacy between stress coping personality and perceived professional benefits among nursing interns / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mediating effect of the general self-efficacy(GSE), stress coping personality(SCP) and perceived professional benefits(PPB) among nursing practice students. METHODS: A total of 836 nursing interns from six grade A hospitals in six cities were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The GSE, SCP and PPB were investigated by the General Self-Efficacy Scale, Scale of Stress Coping Personality for College Students and Questionnaire of Nurses Perceived Professional Benefit. RESULTS: The average scores of GSE, SCP, and PPB were(24.6±5.8),(183.1±28.7) and(139.5±18.0), respectively. The scores of GSE and SCP were positively correlated with that of PPB [correlation coefficients(r) were 0.31 and 0.38 respectively, both P<0.01], and a positive correlation was found between GSE and SCP(r=0.41, P<0.01). The hierarchical regression results showed that the sense of control, tenacity and tolerance of SCP of the interns had a predictive effect on their PPB(all P<0.05); but the effect of SCP on PPB was weakened after inclusion of GSE(P<0.01). The structural equation model analysis results showed that both SCP and GSE of interns had a direct positive predictive effect on PPB(all P<0.01), GSE played a partial mediating role between SCP and PPB, accounting for 20.3% of the total effect. CONCLUSION: The SCP of nursing interns can directly or indirectly affect their PPB, and GSE plays a partial mediating effect between SCP and PPB.

Objective To explore the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between perceived professional benefit and turnover intention among clinical nurses. Methods A total of 456 nurses from 3 hospitals in Hangzhou were investigated with Occupational Benefit Questionnaire,Organizational Commitment Scale and Turnover Intention Scale. Results The score of perceived professional benefit, organizational commitment and turnover intention were(135.41 ± 19.01), (16.10 ± 2.87),(76.28 ± 15.80) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between perceived professional benefit and organizational commitment(r=0.476, P<0.01),and a significant negative correlation to turnover intention(r=-0.313, P<0.01),and a significant negative correlation between organizational commitment and turnover intention(r=-0.525, P<0.01).Organizational commitment played a partial mediating effect between perceived professional benefit and turnover intention among nurses. Conclusions Nursing managers should attach an importance to enhance organizational commitment,and take effective measures to improve perceived professional benefit, as well as establish an effective incentive mechanism, fully mobilize positive factors to reduce the nurses ' turnover rate and stable the nursing team.
