Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status of quality of pediatric nurses ′ leader-member exchange, recovery experience, thriving at work, as well as to explore the correlation between leader-member exchange, recovery experience, and thriving at work. Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 312 pediatric nurses from four tertiary level A hospitals in Qingdao from September to November 2021 as the study population. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Leader-Member Exchange Scale, the Recovery Experience Scale, and the Thriving at work Scale. Descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling were conducted on the data to analyze the mediating effect of recovery experience between leader-member exchange and thriving at work, and Bootstrap method was applied to validate the mediating effect.Results:The pediatric nurses ′ leader-member exchange score was (3.94 ± 0.90) points, recovery experience score was (3.47 ± 0.76) points, and thriving at work score was (3.71 ± 0.75) points. Leader-member exchange was positively correlated with recovery experience and thriving at work ( r=0.486, 0.575, both P<0.01); recovery experience was positively correlated with thriving at work ( r=0.711, P<0.01); the test of mediating effect showed that recovery experience partially mediated the effect between leader-member exchange and thriving at work, intermediary effect accounted for 66.9% of the total effect. Conclusions:Pediatric nurses have moderate levels of leader-member exchange, recovery experience, thriving at work. Leader-member exchange can affect pediatric nurses ′ thriving at work both directly and indirectly through the recovery experience. Nursing managers should strengthen the management of relationships with nurses, form good psychological and emotional bonds, and conduct recovery experience training to improve nurses ′ thriving at work, and improve the quality of care.
