Abstract:
Objective To explore the status quo of workplace bullying and job satisfaction among clinical nurses, and to explore the mediating effect of peer support among nurses in the relationship between the above two elements.Methods By convenience sampling, from November 2015 to April 2016, 207 clinical nurses in a comprehensive classⅢ grade A hospital in Fuzhou, were selected and surveyed by a questionnaire on general information, a peer support scale, the negative acts questionnaire-revised (NAQ-R), and job satisfaction scale for nurses. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were conducted to the data collected.Results Workplace bullying was significantly negatively related with peer support among nurses(r=-0.395,P<0.01), and job satisfaction (r=-0.338,P<0.01). Peer support among nurses was positively correlated with job satisfaction (r=0.611, P<0.01). Among nurses, peer support was the mediating variable between workplace bullying and job satisfaction. After introduction of peer support among nurses, influence of workplace bullying on job satisfaction was statistically meaningless (β=-0.148,t=-1.716,P>0.05).Conclusions In the relationship between workplace bullying and job satisfaction, peer support among nurses plays a role as a full mediation. Nursing managers should actively introduce the idea of peer support among nurses, lower workplace bullying, and improve job satisfaction among nurses.
