Abstract:
Objective:To understand the relationships between professional identification, psychological capital and job burnout and the mediation effect of psychological capital.
Methods:A total of 148 clinical nurses in 3A-level hospital in Wei fang City, Shandong hospital were recruited and assessed with general information questionnaire, professional identification scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), and Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS).
Results:In the job burnout, differences in age, department, education level, marital status and length of employment reached a statistically significant level (F=3.82-10.80, all P<0.05). Job burnout was significantly negatively related to professional identification and psychological capital, respectively (r=-0.37, -0.34, all P<0.01). Professional identification positively predicted psychological capital (β=0.73, P<0.01), whereas psychological capital negatively predicted job burnout (β=-0.55, P<0.01); psychological capital played a mediating role between professional identification and job burnout.
Conclusions:Professional identification and psychological capital are significant predicting factors of job burnout. Psychological capital fully mediates the relationship between professional identification and job burnout.
