Objective To explore the relationship between work engagement and job-person fit among nurses.Methods 465 nurses from five first-class general hospitals in Chengdu were assessed by the Utrecht Work Engagement scale(UWES)and the Areas of Worklife Survey(AWS).Results The mean value of work engagement among nurses was (3.21±1.09).Work engagement and job-person fit were positively related.Regression analysis suggested that job-person fits were significant predictors of nurses'work engagement.Exactly,value fit,workload fit,control fit and fairness fit were effective predictors of vigor.Value fit,fairness fit,reward fit and workload fit were effective predictors of dedication.Value fit,control fit,fairness fit and community fit were effective predictors of absorption.Conclusions The work engagement in nurses was at the moderate level.Job-person fits were powerful predictors of work engagement.Good fit among the six areas of work life can improve the work engagement among nurses.

Objective To discuss the effect of music therapy on anxiety control of patients with maxillofacial cancer.Methods 140 cases in head and neck surgery department were divided into the test group and the control group with 70 cases in each group from March 2004 to November 2005.The test group received music intervention based on routine nursing.The degree of anxiety was evaluated on the first day of hospitalization(T1),the previous day before the operation(T2),the first day after operation(T3)and the third day after operation after listening to music.The control group only received routine nursing.The condition of anxiety at different time points was evaluated and compared.Results The scores of anxiety(SAS)in the two groups were statistically different(P＜0.05).The intra-group comparison of anxiety degree in the test group(T1-T2,T1-T3,T1-T4)had statistical difference(P＜0.05).The intra-group comparison of anxiety degree in the control group(T1-T2,T1-T3)had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).While evident difference existed in T1-T4 in the control group.P＜0.05.Conclusion Music intervention facilitated the rehabilitation of anxiety condition in cancer patients.
