Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of the independent work readiness of newly recruited pediatric nurses and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for improving the independent work readiness of newly recruited pediatric nurses.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From July to December 2021, 600 newly recruited pediatric nurses from 18 ClassⅢ children's hospitals in China were selected as the subject by convenience sampling. The nurses were investigated by using the General Information Questionnaire, Self-assessment New Nurses' Independent Competence Questionnaire, Chinese version of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) , and Chinese version of Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) . Hierarchical regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of the independent work readiness of newly recruited pediatric nurses. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed, and 587 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 97.8%.Results:Among 587 newly recruited pediatric nurses, the total score of the Self-assessment New Nurses' Independent Competence Questionnaire was (141.61±13.28) , and the average score of the items was (2.83±0.39) . Pearson correlation showed that the total score and each dimension score of the self-assessment New Nurses' Independent Competence Questionnaire were positively correlated with the total score and each dimension score of the UWES and the PCQ, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Hierarchical regression analysis showed that work engagement and psychological capital were the influencing factors of the independent work readiness of newly recruited pediatric nurses with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) , among which work engagement and psychological capital could independently explain 29.9% of the variation of the independent work readiness of newly recruited pediatric nurses. Conclusions:The readiness for independent work of newly recruited pediatric nurses is at a medium low level. Work engagement and psychological capital are the influencing factors of independent work readiness of newly recruited pediatric nurses. The work engagement and psychological capital of newly recruited pediatric nurses can be improved to increase their independent work readiness.
