Abstract: Objective To study the mediating role of psychological capital between non-compliance tasks and occupational burnout among obstetric nurses,and provide reference basis for effectively reducing occupational burnout. Methods From January to June 2023,a stratified random sampling method was used to select 182 nurses from obstetrics departments of 6 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Wuhan as research subjects. The general situation scale,non-compliance task scale,psychological capital scale and burnout scale were used to investigate and the data were analyzed. Results The scores of obstetric nurses for non-compliance tasks,psychological capital and occupational burnout were (31.84±4.76),(88.43±16.63) and (60.43±10.14)points,respectively. The comparison of non-compliant task scores for different ages,educational levels,professional titles,years of work experience,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency showed statistically significant differences(all P<0.05). The psychological capital scores of different ages,professional titles,years of work experience,and monthly income were compared,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). The comparison of occupational burnout scores for different ages,technical titles,years of work experience,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency showed statistically significant differences(all P<0.05). Occupational burnout of obstetric nurses was positively correlated with non-compliant tasks(rs=0.608,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with psychological capital(rs=-0.712,P<0.01). Non-compliant tasks were negatively correlated with psychological capital(rs=-0.639,P<0.01). Psychological capital has a partial mediating effect between obstetric nurses' non-compliant tasks and professional burnout,with a mediation effect of 0.288 and a total effect proportion of 52.46%. Conclusion Improving the psychological capital of obstetric nurses is conducive to reducing the level of occupational burnout and non-compliance with tasks,and the mediating role of psychological capital should be paid attention to.
