Abstract:

The General Data Questionnaire, the Workplace Violence Scale, Professional Identity Scale and the Work Engagement Scale were used in the study. A total of 880 questionnaires were distributed and 862 valid ones were retrieved with the effective recovery rate of 97.95%. Results? In the 862 participant nurses, 247 (28.65%) nurses suffered from zero frequency workplace violence, 354 (41.07%) nurses suffered from low frequency workplace violence, 202(23.43%) nurses suffered from intermediate frequency workplace violence, 59(6.84%) nurses suffered from high frequency workplace violence. The total score of professional identity was (110.89±19.26) points;the total score of work engagement was (59.72±8.95) points;workplace violence scores were negatively correlated with the nurses＇ work engagement (P＜0.05);the total score of nurses＇ professional identity and the scores of all dimensions were positively correlated with the scores of work engagement (P＜0.05);Multiple linear regression analysis showed, nurse professional identity, workplace violence, professional title, working duration and education are the main influencing factors of their work engagement (P＜ 0.01). Conclusions? The nurses＇ work engagement needs to be improved, and professional identity, workplace violence, professional title, length of work and education are the main influencing factors.
