Objective To investigate the current situation of impostor phenomenon in clinical nurses and analyze the influencing factors,and to provide references for formulating relevant intervention measures.Methods From December 2023 to January 2024,608 clinical nurses from 5 tertiary general hospitals in Hunan Province were conveniently selected as the survey subjects.The General Information Questionnaire,the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale(CIPS)and Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version(CBF-PI-B)were collected among subjects.Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing the impostor phenomenon among clinical nurses.Results A total of 582 nurses were included in this study,and the score of the impostor phenomenon scale for clinical nurses was(52.04±11.87).Factors such as neuroticism,years of work experience,whether the family supports the work they are doing,average self-study time per week,and average time spent on social media platforms per day had an impact on the impostor phenomenon score among clinical nurses(P<0.05),explaining 43.4%of the variance.Conclusion The impostor phenomenon among clinical nurses is at a medium level.Nursing managers should focus on nurses with high neuroticism,low years of work experience,lack of family support,short self-study time,and long social media use time.Appropriate positive encouragement should be given to mitigate their negative emotions,alleviate their impostor phenomenon,and improve the mental and physical health in the nursing team,thus promoting the professional health development of clinical nurses.
