ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the status quo of occupational engagement of junior nurses and related influencing factors, and to provide reference for managers to develop a positive incentive mechanism.Methods:From November 2020 to December 2020, 255 junior nursing staff with less than or equal to 3 years seniority at 3 tertiary general hospitals in Tianjin were selected. Questionnaire surveys were made on their occupational engagement, occupational values, job satisfaction for nursing, and general self-efficacy. Descriptive analysis and t test were used to probe into their current occupational engagement, and build a relational model on the occupational satisfaction, and the relational model of between their occupational values and self-efficiency in general of these nursing staff. Results:The total scoring of the occupational engagement scale for 255 junior nursing staff was 78.47±19.93, which was higher than the domestic norm level, and the difference was statistically significant( t=11.48, P<0.001). The results of the structural equation model showed that the overall effect on the occupational engagement of junior nurses from high to low were as follows: self-efficacy( β=0.599), professional values( β=0.323)and job satisfaction( β=0.275). Conclusions:These nursing staff feature high occupational engagement. Hospital administrators are recommended to strength training, provide timely support and incentives for their sustained improvement of self-efficiency, meet their individual career development needs for higher job satisfaction, and focus on shaping their occupational values as well.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between adversity quotient and professional values in standardized-trained nurses. METHODS: OBJECTIVE: sampling method was adopted, 502 nurses who received standardized training from third class A hospitals were selected as research subjects. Questionnaire survey was carried out by Adversity Quotient Scale and Weis Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised to calculate standardized scores of adversity quotient and professional values. RESULTS: The standardized scores of adversity quotient and professional values in the standardized-trained nurses were(3.2±0.4) and(3.8±0.6). The standardized scores of professional values, care provision, activism, responsibility, freedom and safety, and trust in standardized-trained nurses were positively correlated with the standardized score of adversity quotient(correlation coefficients were 0.192, 0.160, 0.179, 0.227, 0.166, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the score of freedom and safety in standardized-trained nurses, the higher the level of adversity quotient(P<0.01). The level of adversity quotient of those who are satisfied with their position was higher than those who are indifferent to their position(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The adversity quotient of standardized-trained nurses is positively correlated with their professional values. The level of adversity quotient of standardized-trained nurses can be improved by cultivating good professional values to stabilize the clinical nursing team.
