Perceived Stress and Burnout of Clinical Faculty in University Affiliated Hospitals and the Role of Future Orientation Coping on Its Relationship:A Network Analysis
Objective:To study the relationship between perceived stress and burnout of clinical faculty in university af-filiated hospitals through network analysis,and to explore the role of future orientation coping on its relationship.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among clinical faculty in university affiliated hospitals.Perceived stress scale,Maslach burnout inventory and future orientation coping inventory were completed,779 valid questionnaires were col-lected.The R programming language was used for network analysis.Results:(1)A stable network was emerged between the perceived stress and burnout of clinical faculty in university affiliated hospitals,in which"loss of control"and"nervous tension"were the core nodes,and"emotional exhaustion"was the key bridging node connecting the network of stress per-ception and burnout.(2)In the flow network,proactive coping was directly connected with the network of perceived stress and burnout,while preventive coping indirectly connected with the perceived stress-burnout network via proactive coping.Conclusion:The perceived stress is closely associated with burnout among clinical faculty of university affiliated hospitals,and the future orientation coping,especially the proactive coping,has a positive impact on the relationship between per-ceived stress and burnout.This study provides a target for the prevention and intervention of stress and burnout among clini-cal faculty in university affiliated hospitals,also provides a guideline for promoting mental health of clinical faculty in uni-versity affiliated hospitals.
