Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of psychological capital between occupational fatigue and occupational burnout in nurses of the Operating Room, so as to provide a reference for alleviating nurses' occupational burnout.Methods:From October to December 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 230 nurses of Operating Room from 5 ClassⅢ hospitals in Changchun City as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, Occupational Fatigue Scale, Psychological Capital Scale, and Occupational Burnout Scale were used to evaluate nurses in the Operating Room. The influence of psychological capital and occupational fatigue on occupational burnout was analyzed. Taking occupational fatigue as the independent variable, psychological capital as the mediating variable, and occupational burnout as the dependent variable, the structural equation model was used to test the mediating effect of psychological capital.Results:A total of 230 questionnaires were distributed, and 212 questionnaires were effectively returned. Among 212 nurses in the Operating Room, the scores of occupational fatigue, psychological capital and occupational burnout were (18.27±4.16) , (80.16±14.48) and (68.48±12.82) respectively. Occupational fatigue and occupational burnout of nurses in the Operating Room were positively correlated ( r=0.648, P<0.01) , psychological capital was negatively correlated with occupational burnout ( r=-0.589, P<0.01) , and occupational fatigue was negatively correlated with psychological capital ( r=-0.584, P<0.01) . The hierarchical linear regression results showed that occupational fatigue had a positive predictive effect on occupational burnout ( P<0.01) , while psychological capital had a negative predictive effect ( P<0.01) . The mediating effect of psychological capital between occupational fatigue and occupational burnout of nurses in the Operating Room was 0.18, accounting for 34.61% of the total effect. Conclusions:The psychological capital of nurses in the Operating Room plays a part of the intermediary role between occupational fatigue and occupational burnout. Improving the psychological capital of nurses in the Operating Room can help reduce their level of occupational burnout.
