Abstract:
Objective:To explore effects of nurses' cognition of patient safety culture and psychological capital on career growth, so as to provide a basis for promoting nurses' career growth.Methods:This research was a cross-sectional survey. From July to August 2019, a total of 480 nurses from 3 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Tianjin were selected as the research objects by means of convenient sampling. General information questionnaire, Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) , nurses' Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and Career Growth Scale (CGS) were used to investigate the patients. In this study, 480 questionnaires were issued and 465 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 97%. Stratified regression analysis was used to analyze the mediating effect of psychological capital, and AMOS was further used to construct the structural equation model for verification.Results:The total mean score of HSOPSC of 465 nurses was (3.91±0.30) , the total mean score of PCQ was (4.66±0.35) and the total mean score of CGS was (3.62±0.41) . Nurses' cognition of patient safety culture was positively correlated with career growth ( r=0.525, P<0.01) . Nurses' cognition of patient safety culture was positively correlated with psychological capital ( r=0.470, P<0.01) . There was a positive correlation between psychological capital and career growth ( r=0.557, P<0.01) . The direct path coefficient of patient safety culture cognition on career growth was 0.33. Psychological capital played a part of the mediating role in the relationship between patient safety cultural cognition and career growth. The mediating effect was 0.30, and the mediating effect accounted for 47.6% of the total effect. Conclusions:The career growth of nurses is at a medium level, and psychological capital plays an intermediary role between the patient's cultural awareness of safety and career growth. Nursing managers should take effective measures to improve nurses' cognition of patient safety culture, at the same time improve nurses' psychological capital level, so as to promote nurses' career growth.
