Abstract:
Objective To explore the status quo of effort-reward imbalance (ERI) and career success in clinical nurses and to analyze the correlation between the two.Methods Totally 737 clinical nurses from 2 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Wenzhou of Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the Chinese ERI scale and Career Success Scale (CSS) from December 2017 to February 2018.The relationship between ERI and career success in the clinical nurses was analyzed.A total of 737 questionnaires were distributed and 671 valid questionnaires were collected.Results The ERI ratio of the 671 clinical nurses was (1.09±0.31),and their total score of CSS was (33.92±7.64).ERI was found in 423 nurses (63.0%),and 457 nurses were overburdened (68.1%).There were statistical differences in CSS scores between the balanced nurses and the imbalanced as well as between the overburdened and the non-overburdened (P＜0.05).According to the Pearson correlation analysis,ERI was negatively correlated with career success in clinical nurses (P＜0.05).Conclusions Severe ERI is found in clinical nurses of Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals,which affects their career success.It is advised that nursing managers take targeted measures to improve the status quo of ERI,complete career development planning for nurses,and enhance the working enthusiasm and career success in nurses.
