Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of peer support system on social anxiety and resilience among new graduate nurses. Methods:Totally 36 new graduate nurses entry in 2014 who's Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS) score were ＞43 were selected as control group. Totally 39 new graduate nurses entry in 2015 who's IAS score were ＞ 43 were as experimental group. The control group accepted routine standardized training. The experimental group received peer support, which consisted on conduct group intervention and twining intervention (6 months). IAS and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC) were used to investigate the nurses'social anxiety and resilienceat 3 months and 6 months after intervention. The scores were analyzed by using repeated ANVOA Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance of IAS showed that, there were significant differences on the IAS scores for interaction between measure time and group processing (P ＜0.001). The differences between the two groups in the main effects of interaction and time on the total score of CD-Rescan its three dimensions score were all statistically significant (Ps ＜ 0.001). Separate analyses showed that at baseline, there was no significant difference between two groups in all variables (Ps ＞0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of intervention, the IAS scores were lower in the intervention group than in the control group (Ps ＜0.001), the CD-RISC total scores and the three dimensions scores were higher in the intervention group than in the control group (Ps ＜0.05). Conclusion: It suggests that the peer support system could improve the social anxiety and resilience of new graduate nurses.
