ABSTRACT
AIM:
The aim of this study was to explore the mediating role of perceived social support in the association between perceived stress and job burnout in midwives.DESIGN:
A descriptive, cross-sectional online survey.METHODS:
Using the stratified cluster sampling method, 329 midwives in 20 hospitals in China were selected as the participants. They completed self-report assessment measures of job burnout, perceived stress and perceived social support.RESULTS:
63.5% of the participants had job burnout. Perceived stress was negatively associated with social support (r = -.350, p < .01), while it was positively associated with job burnout (r = -.382, p < .01). Social support was negatively correlated with job burnout (r = -.569, p < .01). The total effect of perceived stress on job burnout was 0.474 (95% CI 0.367 ~ 0.596, p < .01), the direct effect was 0.242 (95% CI 0.142 ~ 0.355, p < .01), and the indirect effect was 0.232 (95% CI 0.160 ~ 0.316, p < .01). Social support programmes for midwives should be implemented to control the impact of perceived stress on job burnout.
