Abstract:
Objective:To explore the impact of general self-efficacy and psychological resilience on turnover intention of geriatric nursing assistants and their paths.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey study. From April to October 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 287 geriatric nursing assistants from 10 nursing homes in Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Nantong and Huaian, Jiangsu Province as the research object. Demographic Information Questionnaire, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) , Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Turnover Intention Scale (TIS) were used for investigation.Results:A total of 287 questionnaires were distributed, 275 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 95.82%. Among 275 geriatric nursing assistants, the total scores of general self-efficacy, psychological resilience and turnover intention were (26.66±5.17) , (94.19±8.59) and (7.27±3.06) respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the scores of turnover intention of geriatric nursing assistants with different ages, educational backgrounds, marital status and experiences of violence ( P<0.01) . The results of correlation analysis showed that general self-efficacy was positively correlated with psychological resilience ( P<0.01) , and turnover intention was negatively correlated with general self-efficacy and psychological resilience ( P<0.01) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational background, experience of violence, tenacity and self-improvement were the influencing factors of turnover intention of geriatric nursing assistants ( P<0.01) . Structural equation model analysis showed that general self-efficacy had an indirect effect on turnover intention through tenacity, self-improvement and optimism of psychological resilience, with an effect of -0.341 [95% confidence interval: (-0.431, -0.249) , P<0.01]. Conclusions:General self-efficacy of geriatric nursing assistants affects turnover intention through psychological resilience. Managers and policy makers should enhance the self-efficacy of geriatric nursing assistants and improve their level of psychological resilience, so as to reduce the turnover intention of geriatric nursing assistants and stabilize the geriatric nursing team, so as to meet the domestic demand for geriatric nursing care services.
