Abstract:
Objective To explore the path of personal traits, psychological capital and career among new nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A Chinese medical hospitals, so as to provide a reference for career planning management for new nurses. Methods In September 2016, we selected 170 new nurses at three ClassⅢGrade A Chinese medical hospitals in Zhejiang Province as subjects by convenience sampling. Career Condition Evaluation Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire(PCQ) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) were used to investigate career, psychological capital and personal traits of new nurses. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation among psychological capital, personal traits and career condition and to establish the path correlation model. Results A total of 170 questionnaires were sent out and 158 valid questionnaires were collected with 92.94% for the valid recovery rate. The total scores of personal traits, psychological capital and career were (39.59±12.89), (84.69±14.57) and (78.93±13.67) respectively. Psychological capital had a positive correlation with the career condition in new nurses (P＜0.05). In personal traits, psychoticism was correlated with the career identity and concealment was positively correlated with the willingness to remain (P＜0.05). Psychological capital had a positive prediction effect with the career of new nurses with 0.78 for the path coefficient; personal traits had positive effects on psychological capital with 0.17 for the path coefficient;personal traits had positive effects on career condition with 0.15 for the path coefficient. Psychological capital had a partial mediating role between psychological capital and career prompting personal traits had direct and indirect effects on the career condition. Conclusions Nursing managers should provide an education path of career planning for new nurses based on psychological capital intervention model to cultivate hope quality, optimism and anti-frustration ability of new nurses. Besides, nursing managers should assign jobs and collocate work team according to personal traits of new nurses to create harmonious organizational climate for staff and to promote career development of them.
