Abstract:
Objective This study aims to clarify the potential categories of mindfulness of psychiatric nurses through latent profile analysis and to analyse the influencing factors in order to provide a reference for the subsequent design of brief and targeted mindfulness interventions to reduce work stress and improve mental health of psychiatric nurses.Methods 300 psychiatric nurses from a mental health center in Liaoning Province were selected by convenience sampling method to investigate the level of mindfulness through a general demographic questionnaire(gender,age,marital status,educational background,illness,etc.)and the short version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ-SF).SPSS Statistics 21.0 was used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of variables,and Mplus was used for latent profile analysis(LPA)to explore the potential categories of mindfulness characteristics of psychiatric nurses.The categorized data were subjected to χ2 test and one-way ANOVA to compare the demographic information and differences in mindfulness levels among nurses in different categories,and multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the categories of mindfulness characteristics of psychiatric nurses.Results A total of 300 psychiatric nurses were included in the study,with a mean age of 37.98±9.84 years and a mean total mindfulness score of 67.27±7.43.The psychiatric nurses could be categorized into four groups according to their level of mindfulness:the high mindfulness group(38.0%),the nonjudgmental group(36.3%),the judgmental low awareness(5.0%),and the observationally described group(20.7%).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that,compared with the high mindfulness group,nurses with younger age had a greater likelihood of being in the nonjudgmental group and the judgmental low awareness group;nurses with heavy workload had a greater likelihood of being in the nonjudgmental group;nurses with a monthly income of≤5000 yuan had a greater likelihood of being in the observational descriptive group;and nurses with underlying diseases had a greater likelihood of being in the nonjudgmental group and the observational descriptive group.There were also differences in the total level of mindfulness and the five subdimension scores for nurses in different mindfulness categories.Conclusion There were four potential categories of psychiatric nurses characteristics of mindfulness.Age,gender,monthly income,underlying illness,and workload were all factors that influenced the classification of psychiatric nurses into the high mindfulness group.
