Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the psychological stress among nurses in the Department of Emergency, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, so as to provide the evidence for formulating targeted psychological health interventions.
Methods:All nurses from Department of Emergency, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were enrolled, and participants' demographics, professional title, working duration, family support and participation in public health emergency responses were collected using questionnaire surveys. The development of psychological stress during the latest one week was evaluated using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) scale, and factors affecting psychological stress were identified.
Results:A total of 121 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the participants included 6 men (4.96%) and 115 women (95.04%) and had a mean age of (41.49±4.61) years; and mean service length of (12.14±2.61) years. There were 83 participants that were married (68.60%), 71 with a bachelor degree (58.68%), 60 with a medium-grade professional title (49.59%). The mean score of psychological stress symptoms was 213.43±18.58, which was significantly higher than national norm (124.57±14.31; t=12.194, P<0.001). The detection of psychological stress was 31.40% among the participants, and the presence of psychological stress correlated with age of 40 years and older (χ2=4.826, P=0.028), no family support (χ2=40.420, P<0.001), and no participation in public health emergency responses (χ2=33.767, P<0.001).
Conclusions:A high degree of psychological stress is detected among nurses in Department of Emergency of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, and age, family support and emergency response capability are factors affecting psychological stress.
