Mediating effect of occupational well-being between job burnout and management care perception of junior nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals
Objective To explore the mediating effect of occupational well-being of junior nurses between management care perception and job burnout.Methods A total of 485 junior nurses from three grade-A tertiary hospitals in Nanning City from February to April 2023 were selected as the research objects by cluster sampling method.The general information questionnaire,the occupational well-being scale of medical staff,the Maslach burnout inventory-service industry edition,and the Chinese version of the management caring assessment scale were used for investigation,and the data were analyzed.Results The score of management care perception of junior nurses was(126.33±25.74)points,which was at a medium level.The score of occupational well-being of junior nurses was(64.22±16.64)points,which was below the middle level.The detection rate of job burnout among junior nurses was 77.9%.The perceived management care of junior nurses had a negative impact on their job burnout(r=-0.533,P<0.01),and the perceived management care could affect job burnout through the mediating role of occupational well-being of junior nurses,accounting for 72.2%of the mediating effect.Conclusion The incidence of job burnout of junior nurses is high,and the level of occupational well-being is low.Occupational well-being is an intermediary variable between junior nurses'perception of management care and job burnout.It is recommended that nursing managers take targeted measures to improve the perception of management care level of junior nurses,enhance their occupational well-being,and thereby reduce their level of job burnout.
