Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating role of mentoring function between proactive personality and transition shock in new nurses, with the aim of providing reference and basis for managers to develop effective intervention measures for new nurses during their transformational period.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 280 new nurses from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted by applying the General Information Questionnaire, Transition Shock Scale, Proactive Personality Scale, and Mentoring Function Scale. The mediating role of mentoring function between new nurses′ proactive personality and transition shock was evaluated by constructing structural equation modelling.Results:265 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected. Among 265 nurses, there were 25 males and 240 females, with an age of (22.88 ± 2.12) years. The score of transition shock, proactive personality, and mentoring function of new nurses were (83.45 ± 18.95), (58.66 ± 9.96) and (81.72 ± 14.46) respectively; transition shock was negatively correlated with proactive personality and mentoring function ( r=-0.379, -0.340, both P<0.01), and proactive personality was positively correlated with mentoring function ( r=0.452, P<0.01); the mediating effect of mentoring function between proactive personality and transition shock was significant (95% CI -0.085 - -0.015, P<0.01), accounting for 29.14% of the total effect. Conclusions:New nurses' transition shock is at a moderately high level, and proactive personality can affect transition shock directly or indirectly through mentoring function. Managers can mitigate new nurses′ transition shock by improving the quality of mentoring.
