Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience on the aggressive coping confidence and post-traumatic growth of psychiatric nurses.Methods:From July to September 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 1 200 psychiatric nurses from 5 psychiatric hospitals in Guangdong Province who had experienced workplace violence incidents as the research subject. The General Information Questionnaire, Confidence in Coping with Patient Aggression Instrument (CCPAI) , Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) , and Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) were used to investigate psychiatric nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the association between nurses' aggressive coping confidence, psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of post-traumatic growth, and the Process plug-in was used to conduct non parametric repeated measurement to test the mediating effect. A total of 1 200 questionnaires were distributed, with 135 invalid questionnaires excluded and an effective recovery rate of 88.75%.Results:1 065 psychiatric nurses scored (35.41±7.56) on their aggressive coping confidence, (65.55±16.73) on their psychological resilience, and (65.32±16.60) on their post-traumatic growth. The total score of post-traumatic growth was positively correlated with the aggressive coping confidence ( r=0.371, P<0.01) , and positively correlated with psychological resilience ( r=0.663, P<0.01) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that aggressive coping confidence, toughness dimension, self-improvement dimension, marital status, and positional title were the main influencing factors for the post-traumatic growth of psychiatric nurses ( P<0.05) . Psychological resilience played a part of the mediating effect (36.69% of the total effect) in aggressive coping confidence and post-traumatic growth. Conclusions:The post-traumatic growth, aggressive coping confidence and psychological resilience of psychiatric nurses are at a medium level. The post-traumatic growth, aggression coping confidence and psychological resilience of psychiatric nurses who have experienced workplace violence are closely related. Psychological resilience has a mediating effect between aggression coping confidence and post-traumatic growth. The post-traumatic growth of psychiatric nurses can be improved by intervening their aggressive coping confidence and psychological resilience.
