Asian Nursing Research 2020;14(5):306-311
Purpose:
This study explored the mediating effect of career calling in the relationship between familysupportive supervisor behaviors and turnover intention among nurses.
Methods:
Data were gathered from 563 nurses enrolled in eight public hospitals in China. They were required to complete measures of family-supportive supervisor behaviors, career calling, and turnover intention. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis and the bootstrapping procedure were used to examine the mediating role of career calling.
Results:
Family-supportive supervisor behaviors were positively associated with career calling, but negatively associated with turnover intention. Furthermore, career calling partially mediated the relationship between family-supportive supervisor behaviors and turnover intention.
Conclusion
This study provides strong evidence for an increasing body of work that emphasizes the importance of nursing leaders engaging in family-supportive behaviors for increasing employee career calling and reducing turnover intention.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of knowledge, attitude and practice level of ICU nurses in the prevention of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPI) in critically ill patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From May to August 2019, 540 ICU nurses in 8 Class Ⅲ general hospitals in Zhejiang province were surveyed by using "MDRPI Prevention Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for ICU Nurses". Current situation and influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice of ICU nurses in the prevention of MDRPI were analyzed and relationships among prevention knowledge, attitude and practice were explored.Results:The overall average score of knowledge, attitude and practice level of ICU nurses in the prevention of MDRPI was (3.87±0.46) . Of which, the average score of knowledge dimension items was (3.43±0.69) , the average score of attitude dimension items was (4.13±0.51) , and the average score of practice dimension items was (4.06±0.56) . There were statistically significant differences in the overall average scores of knowledge, attitude and practice in the prevention of MDRPI in ICU nurses with different genders, marital status, years of work, titles, duties, whether they are members of the wound stoma or pressure ulcer group, whether they have cared for MDRPI patients, whether they have received MDRPI training ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that years of work, whether they had cared for MDRPI patients and whether they had received training in MDRPI were influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice level of ICU nurses in the prevention of MDRPI ( P<0.05) . ICU nurses MDRPI prevention knowledge, attitude and practice were positively correlated ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:ICU nurses have a more positive attitude and behavior towards MDRPI prevention, but their knowledge of MDRPI prevention is relatively lacking. Nursing managers should attach importance to training on ICU nurses' knowledge of MDRPI prevention so as to improve their MDRPI recognition and nursing ability.

Objective:To discuss the relationships between occupational stress, career calling and occupational burnout among primary school teachers, and test whether career calling moderates the relationship between occupational stress and occupational burnout.Methods:399 teachers from public primary schools were recruited as participant. Their occupational stress and burnout, and career calling were assessed via online questionnaire in the period between March and August 2018. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the moderating role of career calling.Results:The score of occupational stress was (3.59±0.85) , the score of career calling was (3.15±0.69) and the score of occupational was (3.26±0.88) . Occupational stress was significantly and positively related to occupational burnout ( r=0.42, P<0.01) , while career calling was significantly and negatively related to occupational stress ( r=-0.30, P<0.01) and occupational burnout ( r=-0.32, P<0.01) . Career calling moderated the relationship between occupational stress and occupational burnout. Conclusion:Career calling as a personal resource buffers the positive relationship between occupational stress and occupational burnout. School leaders can promote teachers' career calling by endowing educational work with more meaning, which leading to lower level of occupational burnout.

Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2018;34(3):217-220
Objective To examine the impact of transformational hospital leadership on clinical medical workers'creative work involvement.Methods From February to July 2016,826 clinical medical workers,including 359 doctors and 467 nurses, were randomly selected to complete a transformational leadership scale, a basic needs satisfaction scale and a creative work involvement scale.The data were analyzed using correlation analysis and structural equation model.Results Transformational leadership positively affected autonomy need satisfaction(β=0.40,P<0.001),competence need satisfaction(β=0.33, P<0.001),relatedness need satisfaction(β=0.81,P<0.001)and creative work involvement(β=0.64, P<0.001)respectively.All three needs satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and creative work involvement.Conclusions Hospital personnel department should launch leaderships training programs to promote transformational leadership,which in turn will meet high level of psychological needs of medical workers,thus encouraging their creative work involvement.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of family-supportive supervisor behavior (FSSB) influencing nurse silence behavior,and explore the mediating role of organizational identification between them. Methods Based on the social exchange theory (SET),916 nurses were selected to complete FSSB scale, organizational identification scale and silence behavior scale from 8 hospitals in Zhejiang Province by convenient sampling method.Results The total scores of FSSB,organizational identification and silence behavior were (3.85±0.66),(3.15±0.62),(2.82±0.46) respectively in 916 nurses. The silence behavior was negatively related to the FSSB and organizational identification (r=-0.27,-0.36;P<0.01). The FSSB was positively related to organizational identification (r =0.53,P<0.01) and negatively influenced silence behavior (β= -0.39,P<0.01),while positively influenced organizational identification (β=0.42,P<0.01) in mediating-effect analysis. Organizational identification partially mediated the relationship between the FSSB and silence behavior. Conclusions Nursing managers should give nurse more family care and support to promote organizational identification,thus decreasing silence behavior.
