The mediating effect of psychological flexibility between job stress and job satisfaction in male nurses
Objective To analyze the mediating effect of psychological flexibility between job stress and job satisfaction in male nurses to improve job satisfaction,reduce dimission rate,and improve nursing quality.Methods Applying a multi-stage sampling method,393 male nurses in Hainan were enrolled.Based on job satisfaction scores,they were divided into a satisfaction group(275 cases)and a non-satisfaction group(118 cases).All subjects were investigated and analyzed by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2nd Edition(AAQ-Ⅱ),Job Stressor Scale,and Job Satisfaction Survey(MMSS).Statistical methods(e.g.,Pearson correlation analysis,multivariate linear regression analysis,Bootstrap analysis,and Logistic regression model)were used.Results In Hainan province,there was poor psychological flexibility,heavy job stress and low job satisfaction among male nurses.The experience avoidance,cognitive fusion,profession and work,management and interpersonal relationship had negatively predictive effects on the job satisfaction(t=-0.469,-0.317,-0.480,-0.226,P＜0.05).The mediating effect values of experience avoidance and cognitive fusion in job stress and job satisfaction were-0.083 and-0.120,accounting for 18.32％and 26.49％of the total effect,respectively.The independent influencing factors of job satisfaction among male nurses included monthly income ≤7 000,years of working ＜10 years,night shifts and working at operating room and intensive care unit(OR=3.168,2.609,2.910,2.633,P＜0.01).Conclusion Job stress can directly affect the job satisfaction of male nurses,which can also indirectly affect job satisfaction by psychological flexibility.Clinically,improving psychological flexibility and reducing job stress are beneficial to improve job satisfaction.
