Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the states of quality of working life among male nurses in China so as to provide the theory basis to conduct further intervention researches on quality of working life of male nurses.Methods:From January to December 2019, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 10 775 male nurses from 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government.Results:The mean score of quality of working life among male nurses in China was 3.10 (2.86, 3.60) points. The score of work mastery dimension and career satisfaction dimension were 3.40 (3.00, 4.00) and 3.50 (3.00, 4.00) points respectively, in a high scoring position; and the score of work pressure dimension was relatively low 2.60 (2.00, 3.00) points. Significant differences were detected on the score of quality of working life in male nurses with varied educational background, professional title, position, employment mode and annual income, as well as those male nurses who obtained the certificate of specialized nurse and held the post of nursing association ( χ2 values were -2.833, -6.034, -8.755, Z values were 34.163-90.239, P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that professional title, education background, annual income had a positive forecast effect on the quality of working life of male nurses ( t values were 8.445, 6.651, 6.188, P<0.01). Whether to hold the post of community or obtain the qualification of specialized nurse had a negative predictive effect on the quality of work life ( t values were -3.698, -3.698, P<0.01). Conclusion:The quality of working life of male nurses in China is in the middle level. Nursing managers should take targeted measures to improve the quality of work and life of male nurses and further stabilize and expand the ranks of male nurses.
