Abstract:
Objective This study aimed to investigate the current status of psychological flexibility among nursing man-agers and identify its influencing factors,thereby providing a basis for developing targeted intervention strategies.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October to December 2024 using convenience sampling to enroll 300 nursing managers in Guangdong Province,China.Data were collected through a general information questionnaire,the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ),the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS),and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ).Results The mean AAQ-Ⅱ score of nursing managers was 28.40±8.07.Psychological flexibility(AAQ-Ⅱ score)showed a significant negative correlation with perceived social support(PSSS score:48.30±12.02;r=-0.755,P<0.05)and positive coping style(SCSQ-positive subscale:17.74±5.49;r=-0.765,P<0.05),while exhibiting a positive correlation with negative coping style(SCSQ-negative subscale:11.34±4.05;r=0.717,P<0.05).Multiple regression analysis revealed that social support level,coping style,age,years of management experience,and professional title were significant predictors of psychological flexibility(P<0.05).Conclusion Nursing managers demonstrated a moderate level of psychological flexibility.Interventions tailored to address social support,coping strategies,and demographic factors(e.g.,age,management experience,and professional title)are warranted to enhance psychological flexibility in this population.
