Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effects of self-efficacy between leadership empowerment behavior and neglect of care among senior care workers.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, from July to September 2020, totally 423 senior care workers from 50 nursing institutions for the aged in Jining, Jiaozuo, and Shijiazhuang were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Leadership Empowerment Behavior Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, and Nursing Caregiver Negligence Assessment Scale. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of each variable, and bootstrapping was employed to test the mediating effect.Results:In this study, 423 questionnaires were distributed and 386 valid questionnaires were recovered. The total score of leadership empowerment behavior of 386 care workers was (47.93±7.51) ; the total score of self-efficacy was (28.65±5.92) ; the total score of neglecting care was (73.04±8.80) . The leadership empowerment behavior, self-efficacy, and neglect of care in the senior care workers were positively correlated ( P<0.01) . Self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between leadership empowerment and neglect of care, and the mediating effect accounted for 19.73%. Conclusions:The neglect of care in the senior care workers is at a low level, and self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between leadership empowerment and neglect of care. Leaders of nursing institutions for the aged should improve their level of empowerment behaviors and strengthen the self-efficacy of senior care workers, so as to reduce the neglect of care among senior care workers.
