Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of influence of personality traits of nurses as second victim and negative experience of nurses in adverse event and explore the intermediary roles of stress perception in influencing mechanism of negative experience.Methods Between March and April 2023,a convenience sampling method was employed to select 560 nurses from 3 general hospitals in Taiyuan City to conduct the study.The selected nurse all had experienced adverse events within last 3 months.The survey employed a general information questionnaire,Chinese big five personality questionnaire,second victim experience and support scale and Chinese version of stress perception scale.Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between the personality traits of nurses as second victim(specifically neuroticism),negative experiences and stress perception.The mediating role of stress perception between the neuroticism of nurses as second victim and negative experiences of nurses was analysed using PROCESS plug-in with the Bootstrap method.Results All of 560 distributed questionnaires were recovered,with a 100.00%of response rate.Personality traits of nurses as second victim were ranked in descending order with rigor,agreeableness,openness,neuroticism and extroversion.Both negative experiences and stress perception had higher scores(40.25±10.64 and 30.25±5.98,respectively).Neurotic personality in nurses as second victim was positively correlated with negative experience(r=0.528,P＜0.01)and stress perception(r=0.594,P＜0.01).Negative experiences showed a positive correlation with stress perception(r=0.339,P＜0.01).Neurotic personality of nurses as second victim had a significant direct impact on negative experiences[β=0.519,95%CI:0.318-0.720].As one of the stress perception dimensions,tension played a partial mediating role between neurotic personality in nurses as second victim and negative experience[β=0.148,95%CI:0.006-0.300],and a mediating effect percentage of 22.70%.Conclusions The neurotic personality of nurses as second victim can directly affect the negative experiences,either independently or in conjunction with tension.Nursing managers and nurses as second victims can reduce the negative experiences in adverse events by addressing higher neurotic personality and alleviating tension.
