Abstract:
Objective:To understand the real experience of work alienation among nurses with master′s degrees working in first-class hospitals.Methods:A descriptive qualitative research method of qualitative research was employed to conduct in-depth interviews with 15 nurses with master′s degrees from five tertiary first-class hospitals in Tianjin from January 2022 to March 2022. Nvivo 12 software was used to manage the interview data. The metic analysis method was used to refine the themes and subthemes.Results:Three themes were: work alienation performance of nurses with master′s degree (negative emotional experience, passive behavioural performance), reasons for work alienation of nurses with master′s degree (low self-worth, estranged coworker relationships and ambiguous work plan), needs of professional development coping with work alienation (needs of scientific research work, needs of scientific promotion system and salary performance, needs of organizational recognition and training and learning).Conclusions:Nurses with master′s degrees experience work alienation. Managers are advised to focus on improve these nurses′ alienation performance, explore the reasons and meet their personal needs with nursing job degrees, which then may in turn improve their sense of self-worth, and assist in developing positive attitude towards nursing work and reducing work alienation.
