Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of subjective well-being(SWB) and anxiety of nurses, and analyze their correlation. METHODS: A total of 1 052 nurses from an A-Class hospital in Wuhan City were recruited as the study subjects by convenience sampling method, and the SWB and anxiety survey were conducted using the Overall Happiness Scale and Anxiety Self-Rating Scale. RESULTS: The median score of SWB in the study subjects was 64.0, which is at the intermediate level; the median anxiety score was 54.0, and 64.5% of anxiety was mild or above. There was a negative correlation between SWB and anxiety(Spearman correlation coefficient was-0.72, P<0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the nurses who had more anxiety were accompanied with lower SWB(P<0.05); the SWB was lower in divorced nurses than that in married or unmarried ones(P<0.05); the SWB was higher in nurses who work in obstetrics and gynecology than that in internal medicine(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The SWB of nurses in this A-Class hospital is relatively low, and most of them have anxiety, which has a negative effect on SWB.
