Abstract: Objective To investigate the status of mental salary satisfaction,job immersion on implicit absenteeism of pediatric nurses in Sichuan Province,explore the relationship between them. Methods From April to May 2022,338 pediatric nurses from grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province were selected as the subjects by the convenient sampling method. The investigation was conducted by the general information questionnaire,mental salary satisfaction scale,work immersion scale and implicit absence scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The scores of mental salary satisfaction,job immersion on implicit absenteeism of pediatric nurses from grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province were (27.59±5.73),(101.89±13.81) and (15.83±5.30)points,respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of mental salary satisfaction among pediatric nurses with different personal monthly income,professional titles,and the number of weekly night shifts(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of job immersion among pediatric nurses with different age,length of service,personal monthly income,professional titles,and the number of weekly night shifts(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of implicit absenteeism among pediatric nurses with different professional titles,and the number of weekly night shifts(all P<0.05). The score of mental salary satisfaction was positively correlated with the score of job immersion,negatively correlated with the score of implicit absenteeism,and the score of job immersion was negatively correlated with the score of implicit absenteeism(all P<0.05). The job immersion played a partially negative mediating role between mental salary satisfaction and implicit absenteeism among pediatric nurses,accounting for 13.3% of the total effect. Conclusion The score of implicit absenteeism of pediatric nurses in Sichuan Province is at a medium level,the job immersion plays a partially mediating role between mental salary satisfaction and implicit absenteeism,and improving the mental salary satisfaction of pediatric nurses can improve the job immersion and further reduce the situation of implicit absenteeism.
