Abstract:

Objective To understand the current status and relationship of imposter phenomenon,perceived stress and job burnout among nurses in obstetrics and gynecology department,and to provide reference for the development of improvement measures. Methods The nurses from obstetrics and gynecology department of 3 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shanghai City were enrolled as the research objects from January to March 2024. The general situation,imposter phenomenon,perceived stress and job burnout of obstetric and gynecological nurses were investigated by general situation questionnaire,Clance imposter phenomenon scale,perceived stress scale and job burnout scale,respectively. The relationship among imposter phenomenon,perceived stress and job burnout was analyzed. Results The scores of imposter phenomenon,perceived stress and job burnout of obstetrics and gynecology nurses were (41.26±7.15),(43.21±6.37) and (61.55±8.32)points,respectively. There were statistically significant differences in scores of imposter phenomenon among nurses with different age,marital status,working years,monthly income and professional titles(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in scores of perceived stress among nurses with different age,marital status,education level,working years,monthly income and professional titles(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in scores of job burnout among nurses with different age,marital status,working years,monthly income and professional titles(all P<0.05). The imposter phenomenon of obstetric and gynecological nurses was positively correlated with perceived stress(r=0.631,P<0.01) and job burnout(r=0.594,P<0.01),and perceived stress was positively correlated with job burnout(r=0.613,P<0.01). There was a mediating effect of perceived stress between imposter phenomenon and job burnout,with a mediating effect of 0.201,accounting for 35.83% of the total effect. Conclusion The imposter phenomenon,perceived stress and job burnout are at medium level in nurses of obstetrics and gynecology department,and three are closely related to each other in the 3 grade-A tertiany hospitals.
