Analysis of current status and influencing factors of stress load among obstetric and gynecological nurses based on stress-appraisal-coping theory
Objective To understand the current characteristics and influencing factors of the stress load of obstetric and gynecological nurses,and provide empirical evidence for optimizing the management methods of obstetric and gynecological nurses.Methods From February to March 2023,a convenient sampling method was used to select 426 obstetric and gynecological nurses from 21 public hospitals in Guangdong Province as the survey subjects.The survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire,the Chinese big five personality questionnaire,the trait coping style questionnaire,and the Chinese version of the stress overload scale,and the data were analyzed.Results The stress risk of obstetrics and gynecology nurses showed characteristics of high stress and shock,and their stress load was at a medium level,with a score[M(P25,P75)]of 66.00(53.75,78.00)points.There were statistically significant differences in stress load among nurses with different marital status,hospital level,family occupational support and work motivation(all P<0.05).The stress load level of nurses with neurotic personality and negative coping tendency was the highest(P<0.01).Conclusion The stress load level of obstetrics and gynecology nurses in 21 public hospitals in Guangdong Province is medium.Nursing managers should strengthen care for nurses with significant neurotic personality,adopt flexible or magnetic management,and enhance group psychological intervention or case intervention to motivate them to face stress events with a positive attitude,and establish a positive personality.
