Abstract: Objective To understand the real-time response to stress through electronic communication,psychological resilience,and occupational stress status of geriatric nurses,and analyze the impact of real-time response to stress through electronic communication and psychological resilience on occupational stress,and provide reference for reducing the level of occupational burnout among geriatric nurses. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 194 geriatric nurses from 7 grade-A tertiary comprehensive hospitals in Shanghai as the survey subjects from July to August 2024. The electronic communication instant response stress scale,psychological resilience scale,and occupational stress scale were used for investigation,and the data were analyzed. Results The score of instant response to pressure through electronic communication for geriatric nurses was (30.24±6.46) points,the score of psychological resilience was (91.33±16.28)points,and the score of occupational stress was (317.52±58.39)points.The instant response to pressure through electronic communication of geriatric nurses was related to their age,years of service,professional titles,marital status,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency(all P<0.05). The psychological resilience of geriatric nurses was related to their age,years of service,professional titles,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency(all P<0.05). The occupational stress of geriatric nurses was related to their age,years of service,professional titles,marital status,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency(all P<0.05). The occupational stress of geriatric nurses was positively correlated with the immediate response to pressure of electronic communication(r=0.685,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with psychological resilience(r=-0.577,P<0.01). The immediate response pressure of electronic communication was negatively correlated with psychological resilience(r=-0.576,P<0.01). The psychological resilience of geriatric nurses partially mediated the relationship between immediate response to stress through electronic communication and occupational stress,with a mediation effect of 0.288,accounting for 48.48% of the total effect. Conclusion The psychological resilience of geriatric nurses partially mediates the relationship between electronic communication immediate response stress and occupational stress. Improving the psychological resilience of geriatric nurses can help reduce their level of electronic communication immediate response stress and occupational stress.
