ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the current status and analyze the factors affecting the work engagement of wound therapists,and to provide references for promoting their work engagement.Methods From September 2022 to March 2023,wound therapists who were certificated by European Wound Management Association for more than 3 months were selected as subjects by convenient sampling method.The data was collected by the General Information Questionnaire,Hospitals and Wound Clinics Questionnaire,Areas of Worklife Scale and Specialty Nurse Work Engagement Scale,and the factors influencing the work engagement of wound therapists were analyzed by univariate and multiple liner regression.Results A total of 219 wound therapists were included.The total mean score of areas of worklife was(99.37±13.70);the average score of items was(3.55±0.49);the total mean score of the specialty nurse work engagement was(140.01±16.00);the average score of items was(4.38±0.50).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that reward,community,fairness,and values were factors influencing the work engagement of wound therapists(P＜0.05).Conclusion The higher average score of each dimension of areas of worklife could predict the higher level of work engagement for wound therapists.Nursing managers should pay more attention to the job-matching degree of specialty nurses and adopt scientific and effective management methods to improve the job-matching,which will help improve the specialty nurses'work engagement and satisfaction and reduce job burnout.
