Abstract
ObjectiveTo understand the status quo of the job preparedness among newly recruited nurses and analyze its influencing factors.
MethodsTotally 355 newly recruited nurses who joined 5 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals nationwide between September 2021 and September 2022 were selected by convenience sampling and investigated by general information surveys, the Work Readiness Scale for Graduate Nurses and the Transition Shock of Newly Graduated Nurses Scale. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors of the job preparedness among these newly recruited nurses.
ResultsA total of 355 questionnaires were distributed, and 350 valid responses were received, with a valid response rate of 98.6%. The overall score for the job preparedness of the newly recruited nurses was (271.05±49.97), with a standardized total score of (73.26±13.57). 208 individuals (59.4%) scored high (standardized total score ≥70), while 142 individuals (40.6%) scored low (standardized total score<70). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the department of employment, part-time job experience, harmonious relationships with classmates during schooling, and the level of transition shock were influencing factors for the job preparedness of the newly recruited nurses (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe job preparedness of newly recruited nurses is influenced by various factors. Nursing educators and managers should adopt targeted educational and management strategies based on the nurses' different experiences, interpersonal relationships, department of employment, and level of transition shock to enhance their job preparedness.
