Abstract:
Objective To describe the status of nurse work engagement and to explore the relationship between work engagement and work-related flow experience.The study results provided the basis for how the nurse managers stimulate enthusiasm of nurses and let them devote themselves to work.Methods A convenience sample of 127 nurses from one major hospitals in Beijing city was recruited.Work Engagement Scale and Work-related Flow Experience Questionnaire were used in this study.Results The scores of work engagement were (3.18±0.59),at moderate level.Age,education level and professional titles were the influential factors of nurses' work engagement.The scores of work-related flow experience were (3.48±0.45),at moderate level.The scores of clear goals,focus on tasks,balance of skills and challenges were the top three dimensions of the work-related Flow Experience Questionnaire.Except for the two dimensions,the integration of action and awareness and the weakening of self-awareness,other dimensions of the work-related flow experience appeared statistically significant correlation to the scores of work engagement (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Most were moderate positive correlations.Conclusions Both the work engagement and the work-related flow experience are at moderate level.The nurse managers needed to take active measures to enable nurses to have more positive experiences and happiness,so as to enhance nursing work input,to improve quality of care and job satisfaction.
