Abstract:
Objective To explore the mediating effect of coping styles of newly graduated nurses between personality traits and transitional shock,aiming to provide references for managers to help new nurses reduce the level of transitional shock and smoothly go through the role transition period.Methods By convenience sampling,580 new nurses from 13 tertiary A hospitals in Guangzhou,Changsha,and Zhuzhou were surveyed from May to October 2023.A general information questionnaire,Eysenck Personality Questionnaire short form,Transition Shock of Newly Graduated Nurses Scale,and Brief Coping Style Scale were used for the survey.Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the mediating effect of newly graduated nurses'coping styles between personality traits and transitional shock.Results A total of 537 new nurses participated in the survey.Psychoticism and neuroticism were positively correlated with transformational shock and negative coping styles(P＜0.01),but negatively correlated with positive coping styles(P＜0.01).Extroversion was negatively correlated with transformational shock and negative coping style(P＜0.0 1),but positively correlated with positive coping style(P＜0.01).The results of the mediation effect analysis show that coping styles play a partial mediating role between personality traits and transformational shock.The mediating effects of coping styles on psychoticism,extraversion,and neuroticism are 0.095,-0.051,and 0.134,respectively,accounting for 43.18％,30.36％,and 32.29％of the total effect.Conclusion Coping styles of newly graduated nurses act as mediating variables between personality traits and transitional shock.Nursing managers should pay attention to cultivating good individual personality traits and establishing a supportive work environment to enhance new nurses'positive coping and reduce the level of transitional impact.
