Objective:To investigate the correlation relationship between self-esteem and imposter phenomenon among nurses,and to provide reference for optimizing nurse team.Methods:A total of 836 nurses were selected from February to March 2023 in the Yongzhou Central Hospital of Hunan Province and the People′s Hospital of Longhua, Shenzhen. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on nurses using the General Data Questionnaire, Impostor Phenomenon Scale and Self-Esteem Scale.Results:The imposter phenomenon score of nurses was (48.97 ± 12.58) points and the self-esteem score was (28.93 ± 3.86) points. The total score of self-esteem was negatively correlated with the total score of imposter phenomenon ( r= -0.433, P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that with the increase of self-esteem score, the score of imposter phenomenon decreased ( B=-1.402, P<0.01). Self-esteem was an important factor affecting the imposter phenomenon among clinical nurses, accounting for 18.9% of the total variation. Conclusions:The self-esteem and imposter phenomenon of clinical nurses are both at a moderate level, the improvement of self-esteem is beneficial to decreased their imposter phenomenon.
