Objective:To investigate the current situation and correlation of perceived social support,achievement motivation,and depression among nursing graduates of a medical college in Anhui Province.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to select 286 graduates from the School of Nursing in a medical college in Anhui Province as the research subjects.They were investigated using a general information questionnaire,the Perceived Social Support Scale,the Achievement Motivation Scale,and the Self-Rating Depression Scale.SPSS 23.0 and SPSS process plug-in were used to conduct correlation analysis and mediation effect test.Results:Perceived social support and achievement motivation were negatively correlated with depression(r=-0.413,-0.306,P＜0.01).Perceived social support was positively correlated with achievement motivation(r=0.323,P＜0.01).Achievement motivation partially mediated the relationship between perceived social support and depression,with a mediating effect of 14.99%of the total effect.Conclusion:The perceived social support among nursing graduates can have a direct impact on depression,and can also predict depression through the indirect effect of achievement motivation.
