Abstract:
Objective To explore the status quo of head nurses' empowerment behavior perceived by nurses and the solidarity among nurses, and to discuss the effects of head nurses' empowerment behavior on clinical nurses' solidarity. Methods Totally 500 on-the-job clinical nurses from three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Wenzhou were investigated from October to December 2016 by convenient sampling. Empowering Ledership Behavior Questionnaire and Colleague Solidarity of Nurses' Scale (CSNS) were used to investigate head nurses' empowerment behavior perceived by nurses and the colleague solidarity of nurses, respectively. The data thus collected were entered into SPSS 19.0, and t test or single factor analysis of variance were conducted on the measurement data; the relationship between head nurses' empowerment behavior and colleague solidarity of nurses were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis; and the influencing factors of colleague solidarity of nurses were analyzed by hierarchical regression analysis. Results Totally 500 questionnaires were handed out, with 432 valid questionnaires collected. The total average score of the 432 nurses for head nurses' empowerment behavior perceived by nurses was (4.05±0.46), and the total score in head nurses' empowerment behavior perceived by nurses was positively correlated with the total score in colleague solidarity of nurses (r=0.31, P<0.01); and according to the regression analysis, when controlling the demographic variables, the dimension of empowerment and personal development support could account for 34.2% of the colleague solidarity of nurses. Conclusions Head nurses' empowerment behavior is a favorable condition to improving the colleague solidarity of clinical nurses, but in the process of empowerment, the group of nurses with low annual income and poor educational background should be paid attention to so as to improve the overall solidarity.
