Analysis on correlation between mental health,psychological resilience and sleep quality of pediatric nurses in eight grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province
Objective To investigate the status of mental health,psychological resilience and sleep quality of pediatric nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province,explore the risk factors affecting sleep quality of pediatric nurses.Methods From July to August 2022,a convenient sampling method was used to investigate 274 pediatric nurses from eight grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province by using general data questionnaire,mental health scale,psychological resilience scale and sleep quality scale,and the data were analyzed.Results The mental health score of 274 pediatric nurses was(12.12±3.95)points,the psychological resilience score was(85.98±21.86)points,and the sleep quality score was(8.45±4.78)points.Among them,224 pediatric nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals had Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)scores ≥5 points.There were statistically significant differences in the mental health scores among pediatric nurses with different age,marital status,educational background,night shift,physical pain and exercise frequency(all P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the psychological resilience scores among pediatric nurses with different age,marital status,educational background,years of pediatric work,physical pain and exercise frequency(all P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the sleep quality scores among pediatric nurses with different characteristics such as age,marital status,length of pediatric work,professional title,night shift,physical pain and exercise frequency(all P<0.05).The mental health,psychological resilience and sleep quality scores were negatively correlated(r>0,P<0.05),while the mental health and psychological resilience scores were positively correlated(r>0,P<0.05).The age,marital status,night shift,occupational somatic pain,exercise frequency,mental health and psychological resilience were the main influencing factors of sleep quality of pediatric nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals(all P<0.05),which could explain 70.7%of total variance.Conclusion The sleep quality of pediatric nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province,among which mental health and psychological resilience are its protective factors.The nursing managers should take targeted intervention measures to improve the mental health of nurses and improve their physical and mental status,so as to promote the healthy development of medical and health human resources.
