Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status and correlation between perceived stress and coping strategies among nurses in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) .Methods:A purposive sampling method was used to select 348 CICU nurses from ten tertiary hospitals in Beijing between March and October 2023. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) .Results:The score of the Chinese PSS among 348 nurses was (28.86±5.06). In the SCSQ, the score for positive coping was (22.71±7.57), while the score for negative coping was (8.57±4.82). Correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress was negatively correlated with positive coping strategies ( P<0.01) and positively correlated with negative coping strategies ( P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that years of experience in the CICU, employment status, family support for work, and coping strategies were influencing factors of perceived stress ( P<0.05), explaining 50.2% of the total variance. Conclusions:CICU nurses generally experience high levels of perceived stress, and those who tend to adopt negative coping strategies report even higher stress levels. Nursing administrators should develop targeted interventions based on nurse characteristics to promote effective coping strategies and alleviate perceived stress.
