Abstract:
Objective To explore the stress status and its influencing factors of nursing interns in an military hospital.Methods 190 nursing interns were surveyed by an self-made general information questionnaire and a pressure source scale of practice nurses.Results The stress status at the end of practice of nursing interns in our hospital was at the low level.The total pressure source score was (25.37 ± 4.69).The major influencing factors of stress status were levels of education (technical secondary school,college or bachelor degree) and manners of profession choosing ( voluntarily,family intention or assigned).Among them,interns with higher level of education had more stress.Interns who chose nursing as profession by assignment had higher stress level than those by family intention or voluntarily.Conclusions Understanding basic characteristics and special situations of nursing interns with different education levels and manners of profession choosing is useful for nursing managers to make effective intervention strategies,adjust and protect stress level,and ensure physical and mental health of the nursing interns.
