Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of nurses' work engagement in cancer hospitals, explore its influencing factors and the mediating effect of work acceptance between hospital magnetic level and work engagement.Methods:In September 2019, 420 nurses from a ClassⅢ Grade A cancer hospital were selected as the research object by convenient sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Essentials of Magnetism ScaleⅡ (EOMⅡ) , Work-related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (WAAQ) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of nurses. Single factor analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation model were used to analyze the relationship among hospital magnetic level, work acceptance and work engagement of nurse. A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed and 408 valid questionnaires were collected.Results:Among 408 nurses, the scores of EOM Ⅱ, WAAQ and UWES were (141.53±22.73) , (33.79±8.38) and (45.11±17.27) respectively. Work engagement was positively correlated with hospital magnetic level and work acceptance with statistical differences ( r=0.549, 0.564; P<0.01) . The hospital magnetic level had a positive predictive effect on work acceptance (β=0.39) and work engagement (β=0.40) , and work acceptance had a positive predictive effect on work engagement (β=0.47) . Work acceptance had a partial mediating effect between hospital magnetic level and work engagement, and the mediating effect accounted for 31.49% of the total effect. Conclusions:Work acceptance plays a part of the mediating role between hospital magnetic level and work engagement. Nursing managers can create a magnetic nursing work environment to promote nurses' work acceptance and increase their work engagement.
