Abstract: Objective To investigate the current situation of uncivilized behavior,engagement and work fatigue of ICU nurses in Nanchong tertiary first-class hospitals,and analyze the influencing factors of work fatigue. Methods Totally 274 ICU nurses from 5 tertiary hospitals in Nanchong from June to August 2022 were selected by convenience sampling method.The general information questionnaire,workplace uncivilized behavior scale,engagement scale and work fatigue scale were used to investigate,and SPSS 21.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. Results The score of uncivilized behavior in the workplace of ICU nurses in tertiary grade A hospitals was (24.15±8.53)points,the score of engagement was (32.72±7.26)points,and the score of work fatigue was (46.90±16.27)points.There were statistically significant differences in the scores of ICU nurses with different gender,education level,contract type,average monthly income,ICU working years,weekly working hours,sleep quality and whether they had chronic diseases(all P<0.05).The correlation analysis showed that the score of uncivilized behavior in the workplace was negatively correlated with the score of engagement(P<0.05),and positively correlated with the score of work fatigue(P<0.05).The score of engagement was negatively correlated with the score of work fatigue(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender,contract type,ICU working years,working hours per week,uncivilized behavior and engagement in the workplace were the main influencing factors of ICU nurses' work fatigue(all P<0.05),accounting for 71.2% of the total variables. Conclusions ICU nurses in tertiary grade A hospitals are affected by many factors,and the level of work fatigue is high,among which uncivilized behavior and engagement in the workplace are important factors.Nursing managers should take targeted intervention measures in many aspects to improve nurses' physical and mental health,reduce the occurrence of uncivilized behavior in the workplace,and improve work engagement.
