Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status of vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG) among emergency nurses, and analyze its influencing factors and pathways of action.Methods:From March to May 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 532 emergency nurses from 20 public general hospitals in Anhui Province as the research subject. A survey was conducted on emergency nurses using the General Information Questionnaire, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Chinese Version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. AMOS 24.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model and analyze the path relationships between variables.Results:A total of 532 questionnaires were distributed, and 480 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 90.23% (480/532). The score of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for 480 emergency nurses was (49.35±15.82). Empathy, psychological resilience, and perceived social support all had a positive impact on VPTG, with total effect values of 0.503, 0.261, and 0.163, respectively. Empathy directly or indirectly affected VPTG through perceived social support and psychological resilience. Perceived social support indirectly affected VPTG through psychological resilience, and psychological resilience directly affected VPTG.Conclusions:VPTG of emergency nurses is directly and/or indirectly positively influenced by empathy, psychological resilience, and perceived social support. Nursing managers should pay attention to the interaction between factors, take effective measures based on the association between factors, and promote the positive transformation of emergency nurses after trauma.
