Abstract:
Objective To investigate confidence and attribution style among nurses and to analyze the correlation between them so as to provide a basis for improving nurses' confidence. Methods From March to May 2017, we investigated 130 nurses by convenience sampling with the general information questionnaire, personal evaluation inventory (PEI) attributional style question-naire (ASQ) at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Taiyuan. Results A total of 130 questionnaires were sent out and 120 valid questionnaires were recovered with 92.31% for the effective rate.The score of PEI of 120 nurses was (135.66±11.81) and 96.67% of nurses were with a general level of confidence. The total scores of positive attribution and negative attribution of nurses were (25.33±3.58) and (23.59±4.51). Correlation analysis showed that the total score of PEI of nurses was positively correlated with the overall indicators of positive events in attribution style (r=0.236,P＜0.05). The dimension of the activity or movement had positive correlations with the overall indicators of adverse events (r=0.268,P＜0.05) and the total score of positive attribution (r=0.254,P＜0.05). Multiple linear regression showed the important predictor variables included educational background and the dimension of positive events lasting of confidence of nurses. Conclusions Nurses are with a general level of confidence. Positive attribution and the high level of education contribute to improving confidence of nurses.
