Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To explore the mediating effect of the general self-efficacy(GSE), stress coping personality(SCP) and perceived professional benefits(PPB) among nursing practice students. METHODS: A total of 836 nursing interns from six grade A hospitals in six cities were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The GSE, SCP and PPB were investigated by the General Self-Efficacy Scale, Scale of Stress Coping Personality for College Students and Questionnaire of Nurses Perceived Professional Benefit. RESULTS: The average scores of GSE, SCP, and PPB were(24.6±5.8),(183.1±28.7) and(139.5±18.0), respectively. The scores of GSE and SCP were positively correlated with that of PPB [correlation coefficients(r) were 0.31 and 0.38 respectively, both P<0.01], and a positive correlation was found between GSE and SCP(r=0.41, P<0.01). The hierarchical regression results showed that the sense of control, tenacity and tolerance of SCP of the interns had a predictive effect on their PPB(all P<0.05); but the effect of SCP on PPB was weakened after inclusion of GSE(P<0.01). The structural equation model analysis results showed that both SCP and GSE of interns had a direct positive predictive effect on PPB(all P<0.01), GSE played a partial mediating role between SCP and PPB, accounting for 20.3% of the total effect. CONCLUSION: The SCP of nursing interns can directly or indirectly affect their PPB, and GSE plays a partial mediating effect between SCP and PPB.
