Abstract
ObjectiveTo understand the workaholism of clinical nurses, and analyze the correlations among workaholism, professional commitment and head nurses' care in nurses.
MethodsIn March 2019, this cross-sectional investigation selected 600 registered nurses at Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University as subjects by convenience sampling. Nurses were investigated with the general information questionnaire, Work Addiction Risk Test (WART) , Measurement of Occupation Commitment and head nurses were investigated with the Satisfaction Evaluation Questionnaire about Humanistic Caring of Head-Nurses to Nurses. This study analyzed the correlations among workaholism, professional commitment and head nurses' care in nurses. A total of 600 questionnaires were sent out and 574 valid of them were collected with 95.7% for the valid recovery rate.
ResultsAmong 574 clinical nurses, the total score of WART was (53.25±7.84) with a moderate level of workaholism. The total scores of measurement of occupation commitment of nurses and head nurses' care were (74.38±10.31) and (151.27±24.75) respectively. Simple correlation showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of WART among nurses with different working lives, positional titles, education levels and marital status (P<0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that workaholism of clinical nurses had a positive correlation with the professional commitment (r=0.437, P<0.01) and also had a positive correlation with head nurses' care (r=0.397, P<0.01) . Hierarchical regression indicated that the influencing factors of workaholism of clinical nurses included the working lives, positional titles, economic cost commitment and promoting personal development.
ConclusionsClinical nurses have a moderate level of workaholism. The influencing factors of workaholism of clinical nurses are the working lives, positional titles, economic cost commitment and promoting personal development. Nursing managers should reasonably adjust the professional commitment and organization care according to clinical nurses' workaholism, and take measures to help clinical nurses copy with clinical work with a positive and healthy state.
