Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between occupational stress and the current working environment of clinical nurses.
MethodsThe cluster sampling method was used to select clinical nurses from First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from March to September 2019 as the research objects. The research tools included nurses' general condition questionnaire, Occupational Stress Inventory Revised edition (OSI-R) and Profession Practice Environment (PPE) Scale. A total of 560 questionnaires were distributed and 540 valid questionnaires were recovered.
ResultsThe Occupational Role Questionnaire (ORQ) score of 540 clinical nurses was (152.09±20.65) , the score of Personal Strain Questionnaire (PSQ) was (104.04±17.04) , the score of Personal Resources PPE Scale Questionnaire (PQR) was (125.84±19.75) and the total average score of PPE Scale was (3.00±0.28) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the ORQ and PSQ scores of nurses were negatively correlated with the scores of the PPE Scale, and the PQR scores of nurses were positively correlated with the scores of PPE Scale (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe overall performance of nurses is moderate occupational stress, the sense of occupational stress of nurses is negatively correlated with the working environment, and the coping resources of occupational stress are positively correlated with their professional working environment. Managers should take targeted measures to intervene to improve the professional working environment of nurses, reduce the level of occupational stress and guide nurses to improve their professional coping skills.
