Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of occupational stress and its influencing factors in junior nurses, and analyze the correlation and interaction between self -esteem, workplace violence and occupational stress. Methods:Totally 192 junior nurses working in 3 general hospitals in Zhengzhou from March to May 2020 were selected by convenient sampling, and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Self -Esteem Scale (SES) , Workplace Violence Scale (WVS) and Chinese Nurse Job Stressors Questionnaire (CNJSQ) . Totally 192 questionnaires were distributed, and 185 valid questionnaires were collected. Results:The SES, WVS and CNJSQ scores of the 185 junior nurses were (19.76±3.13) , (2.77±1.04) and (84.67±17.93) , respectively. There was statistically significant difference in occupational stress scores between nurses with different departments, job titles, marital status and physical condition ( P<0.05) ; the SES of junior nurses was negatively correlated with the scores of WVS and various dimensions of WVS ( P<0.05) ; The scores of WVS was positively correlated with various dimensions of occupational stress among junior nurses ( P<0.05) . Self -esteem had a significant mediating effect between workplace violence and occupational stress among junior nurses, and the mediating effect accounted for 12.86% of the total effect value. Conclusions:The occupational stress of junior nurses is at a moderate level, and their occupational stress is affected by many factors. Nursing managers can reduce their occupational stress by improving their self -esteem and reducing workplace violence.
