Abstract:

Objective To investigate status of fear of missing out,psychological capital and job burnout of neurosurgery nurses,analyze the impact of fear of missing out and psychological capital on job burnout. Methods From October to December 2024,a convenient sampling method was used to survey 192 nurses from the neurosurgery department of 12 grade-A tertiary general hospitals in Hebei Province using a questionnaire including general information,job burnout,psychological capita and fear of missing out,and the survey data were analyzed. Results The scores of fear of missing out,psychological capital and job burnout of neurosurgery nurses were (32.28±6.74),(92.74±15.38) and (62.36±12.24)points,respectively. The age professional title,total years of work,marital status,average monthly number of shifts and average monthly income were the influencing factors of fear of missing out,psychological capital and job burnout of neurosurgery nurses(all P<0.05). The fear of missing out of neurosurgery nurses was positively correlated with job burnout(r=0.628,P<0.01),and the psychological capital was negatively correlated with both fear of missing out and job burnout(r=-0.617,-0.536,all P<0.01). The psychological capital of neurosurgical nurses played a partial mediating role between fear of missing out and job burnout,with a mediating effect of 0.249,accounting for 38.72% of the total effect. Conclusion The psychological capital of neurosurgical nurses plays a partial mediating role between fear of missing out and job burnout,and improving psychological capital while reducing fear of missing out can help reduce the level of job burnout among neurosurgical nurses.
