Abstract:
Objective The study is to determine the correlation between the trait anxiety and social support status in pediatric nurses and provide the theoretical basis for psychological intervention in future. Methods A total of 571 pediatrics nurses in a class Ⅲ grade A hospital of Jiangsu from September 2015 to November 2015 were included using convenience sampling. Trait anxiety inventory and the social support scale were used in the questionnaire.Results Average trait anxiety score was (44.56±9.20) and the detection rate was 31.70%. Levels of trait anxiety among different ages, genders, educations, positions and duties were significantly different (t=2.752,-1.909,4.854,3.212,2.018;P＜0.05). Average social support score was (38.11±6.98) with a middle level. Moreover, the trait anxiety was negatively correlated to subjective support, objective support and rate of support utilization (r=-0.262,-0.210,-0.290;P＜0.05).Conclusions Age, gender, education, position and duties are the factors that affect the trait anxiety and the social support of pediatric nurses. Moreover, higher degree in the social support is related to lower trait anxiety level.
