Analysis on mediating effect of adversity quotient on workplace bullying and mental health of nurses

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the status quo of workplace bullying,mental health and adversity quotient of nurses,and explore the relationship between workplace bullying,adversity quotient and mental health,so as to provide reference for preventing and reducing the occurrence of workplace bullying and improving the level of mental health of nurses. Methods A total of 960 nurses from seven hospitals in Yangzhou City were selected by convenience sampling method in April 2022. The general data questionnaire,negative acts questionnaire revised（NAQ-R）,nurses' stress quotient self-assessment scale and 12-item general health questionnaire（GHQ-12） were used to conduct the survey. Results The total score of NAQ-R was [30.00（25.00,36.00）]points,the total score of adversity quotient was [（129.37±36.29）]points,and the total score of GHQ-12 was [8.00（6.00,10.00）]points. The correlation analysis results showed that the total score of NAQ-R was positively correlated with the total score of GHQ-12 and total score of adversity quotient,while the total score of GHQ-12 was positively correlated with the total score of adversity quotient（all P<0.01）. The adversity quotient had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between workplace bullying and mental health of nurses,and the mediating effect accounted for 56.7% of the total effect. Conclusions Nurses' mental health is in the middle level,the workplace bullying can directly affect the mental health of nurses,as well as indirectly affect their mental health through adversity quotient. The nursing managers can improve nurses' adversity quotient through training to prevent or reduce the occurrence of workplace bullying among nurses,thereby improving their mental health level.
