Objective:To explore the relationship between the perceived stress and the independent learning ability of nursing undergraduates, to establish a chain mediation model to investigate the role of psychological capital and self-control in the relationship between the two, aiming to provide a new direction for nursing educators to improve the independent learning ability of nursing undergraduates.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 913 nursing undergraduates from 10 universities in Shaanxi Province were selected as research objects from February to March 2023. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ), Self-control Scale (SCS) and Self-directed Learning Ability Scale (SLAS) were used to investigate the nursing undergraduates.Results:A total of 913 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 900 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 98.58% (900/913). The total SLAS score of 900 nursing undergraduates was (87.12±9.20). The perception of stress among undergraduate nursing students could directly predict their self-directed learning ability negatively ( P<0.01), or indirectly affected their self-learning ability through psychological capital and self-control ( P<0.05). Psychological capital (indirect effect value=-0.160) and self-control (indirect effect value=-0.106) played a mediating role between stress perception and self-directed learning ability, and the mediating effect accounted for 38.55% and 25.54%, respectively. Moreover, psychological capital and self-control also played a chain mediating role (indirect effect value=-0.053), and the proportion of chain mediated effect was 12.77%. Conclusions:Perceived stress, psychological capital and self-control are important influencing factors on the self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduate students. Perceived stress not only directly affects the self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduate students, but also indirectly affects their self-directed learning ability through the chain mediation effect of psychological capital and self-control.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between occupational stress, psychological capital and insomnia among nurses, and to test the mediating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between nurses' occupational stress and insomnia. MethodsStratified random sampling method was utilized in selecting 810 nurses from a tertiary A-level hospital from March to May 2021. The Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire (ERI), Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used to evaluate the occupational stress, psychological capital and insomnia of nurses, respectively. Then the mediation effect of psychological capital on the relationship between occupational stress and insomnia in nurses was tested by PROCESS macro program. ResultsA total of 658 (81.23%) questionnaires were effectively collected. Analysis found that nurses' effort-reward ratio was positively correlated with AIS score (r=0.379, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with PCQ score (r=-0.275, P<0.01). Nurses' PCQ score was negatively correlated with AIS score (r=-0.402, P<0.01). Nurses' occupational stress could negatively predict psychological capital (β=-11.024, t=-7.324, P<0.01), and positively predict insomnia (β=4.117, t=10.478, P<0.01). Psychological capital could negatively predict insomnia (β=-0.087, t=-9.083, P<0.01). The predictive effect of occupational stress on insomnia was statistically significant with psychological capital introduced as a mediating variable (β=3.158, t=8.185, P<0.01). ConclusionPsychological capital plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between occupational stress and insomnia in nurses.
