Abstract:
Objective To investigate coping strategies and their relationship with self-rated health of nurses in 3A military hospitals. Methods 727 nurses in four 3A military hospitals were assessed by Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Self-rated Health Measurement Scale. Results The three most commonly used coping styles in sequence were: “to communicate to pour out worries and troubles” (42.5％), “to try to look on the bright side of things” (40.7％) and “to seek for suggestions from relatives, friends, or colleagues”(38.6％). The least commonly adopted coping styles were “to depend on others to solve the problem” (3.3％),“to get rid of worries by dosing, eating,drinking or smoking” (4.1％) and “to believe that the current situation will change with time, and that the only thing to do is to wait” (6.6％). Average scores of the factors of all the sub-scales were of middle-upper level, ranging from 6.14 to 9.54. Positive strategies had significant positive correlation with scores of three sub-scales of self-rated health (r =0.200, 0.232, 0.313, 0.302, respectively,P＜0.01). Negative strategies had significant negative correlation with scores of three sub-scales of self-rated health (r=-0.143,-0.221,-0.115,-0.205, respectively, P＜0.01). Conclusions Different coping strategies have different effects on self-rated health of nurse in 3A military hospitals. Positive strategies could improve their status of self-rated health while negative ones had contrary effects.
