Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current status of work engagement among intensive care unit nurses in Zhuhai City and analyze its influencing factors,thereby providing evidence for management decision-making. Methods All intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in Zhuhai City were included in the study from May to June 2024. A questionnaire survey was administered to 369 ICU nurses,covering general demographic information,the nurse healthy work environment assessment scale,and the work engagement scale. The collected data were statistically analyzed. Results The total score of the healthy work environment for ICU nurses in Zhuhai City was (64.28±12.14)points,and the total work engagement score was (54.80±18.81)points. The overall work engagement and its sub-dimensions were positively correlated with the healthy work environment and its sub-dimensions(all P<0.01). The professional hierarchy,monthly income,turnover intention,and healthy work environment were the primary influencing factors of work engagement in ICU nurses in Zhuhai City(all P<0.05). Conclusion The work engagement of ICU nurses in Zhuhai City is at a moderate to high level,influenced by both individual and work environment factors,and the hospital administrators can enhance nurses' work engagement,improve nursing quality,and promote patient safety by optimizing the ICU work environment.
