Abstract: Objective To understand the current situation of role stress among newly recruited nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou,and analyze the influencing factors. Methods A convenient sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 106 newly recruited nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou from December 2020 to March 2022. The role stress level of nurses was evaluated using a role stress scale. Results The role stress score of newly recruited nurses was（46.84±11.08）points,and the two dimensions of role conflict and role ambiguity score were （30.40±8.96） and （16.43±5.54）points,respectively.The satisfaction with the department and the satisfaction with the department leaders were included in the multiple linear regression analysis.The results showed that satisfaction with department leaders was a factor affecting the role stress of newly recruited nurses（P<0.05）. Conclusion New recruited nurses in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou have moderate role conflict and mild role ambiguity.Nursing managers have an important impact on the role stress level of newly recruited nurses.Managers should pay attention to the workload and psychological state of newly recruited nurses,and create a good working atmosphere for them as much as possible.
