The mediating effect of self-efficacy between the perceived stress and work well-being of doctors / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between perceived stress and work well-being of medical stuffs,and test the mediating effect of self-efficacy between above two variables.Methods A total of 1 296 doctors from 29 hospitals in Beijing were assessed by work well-being scale,general serf-efficacy scale (GSES) and Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS).Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived stress and work well-being.Results (1) Perceived stress(37.62±7.20) was negatively correlated with general self-efficacy(2.47±0.55),cognitive work well-being (4.16 ± 0.78) and affective work well-being (21.57 ± 5.63) (r =-0.456,P＜0.01;r=-0.406,P＜0.01;r=-0.542,P＜0.01).General serf-efficacy was positively correlated with cognitive work well-being and affective work well-being(r=0.382,P＜0.01;r=0.510,P＜0.01) (2) In the relationship between perceived stress and affective work well-being,general self-efficacy played a partial mediator role (P＜0.01),the mediating effect was 14.5％.In the relationship between perceived stress and cognitive work well-being,general self-efficacy played a partial mediator role (P＜0.01),and the mediating effect was 46.3％.Conclusion Perceived stress of medical stuffs influenced their work well-being through self-efficacy.It is advised to improve the medical stuffs' self-efficacy in order to raise their level of work well-being.
