Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of emotion regulation flexibility and psychological flexibility on job burnout in vascular surgery nurses,and provide reference for reducing nurse burnout. Methods From April to May 2024,206 vascular surgery nurses from 11 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Anhui Province were randomly selected as the research subjects. The emotion regulation flexibility scale,psychological flexibility scale and job burnout scale were used to investigate,and the data were analyzed. Results The emotion regulation flexibility score of vascular surgery nurses was (46.28±6.42)points,the psychological flexibility score was (62.58±12.86)points,and the job burnout score was(62.69±12.52)points. Gender,age,years of work,professional title,average monthly income,average number of night shifts per month were the influencing factors of emotional regulation flexibility of vascular surgery nurses(all P<0.05). Age,years of work,professional title,average monthly income,average number of night shifts per month were the influencing factors of psychological flexibility and job burnout of vascular surgery nurses(all P<0.05). The higher the level of emotional regulation flexibility of vascular surgery nurses,the lower their job burnout level(r=-0.584,P<0.01). The higher the psychological flexibility level of vascular surgery nurses,the lower their job burnout level(r=-0.612,P<0.01). The higher the emotional regulation flexibility level of vascular surgery nurses,the higher their psychological flexibility level(r=0.622,P<0.01). Emotional regulation flexibility and psychological flexibility could jointly explain 43.20% of the total variance of job burnout. Conclusion Emotional regulation flexibility and psychological flexibility are independent influencing factors of job burnout. Improving the levels of emotional regulation flexibility and psychological flexibility can help reduce the level of job burnout of vascular surgery nurses.
