Abstract:
Objective? To explore the influence of nurses' self-job competence and coping style on nurses' job burnout, and to provide guidance for nurses' occupational health. Methods? From February to September of 2017, a total of 367 nurses from three hospitals of Huzhou City were recruited in a cross-sectional survey. The Chinese version of the Six Dimension (6-D) Scale of Nursing Performance was used to measure the competency of nurses. The General Coping Style Scale were used to measure the coping style of nurses. Maslash Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) was used to assess the job burnout of nurses, and analyze the relationship between job competency, coping style and job burnout of nurses. A total of 367 questionnaires were distributed in this study, 301 valid questionnaires were collected, and the effective recovery rate was 92.33%. Results? In general coping style scale, the positive coping score of the 301 nurses was (1.68±0.61) and the negative coping score was (1.93±0.74). The 6-D scale were negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and positive coping style in MBI-HSS (P＜0.05), positively correlated with personal emotion and positive coping style (P＜ 0.05). The coping style of nurses plays a mediating role in the influence of job competency on job burnout. The path coefficient of job competency on job burnout was 0.62 (P＜0.001). Job competency could explain 57.31% of job burnout variance. The path coefficient of coping style to job burnout was -0.41.The path coefficient of coping style to job burnout was -0.41 (P＜0.001). The path coefficient of job competency to job burnout was -0.51 (P＜ 0.001). Job competency and coping style could explain 21.57% variance of job burnout. The indirect effect of job competency on job burnout through coping style was -0.25(P＜0.001). Conclusions? The coping style makes part of the mediating effect on the relationship between job competence and job burnout. Nursing managers and educators should improve the competency of nurses in various aspects such as job competency training, coping style training, and so on. These may help nurses improve their positive coping style and reduce their professional burnout.
