Abstract: Objective To investigate the status of self ability negation tendency,psychological capital and occupational burnout of gynecological nurses,analyze the mediating effect of psychological capital. Methods From September to October 2023,a convenience sampling method was used to select 168 gynecological nurses from 5 comprehensive hospitals in Xi'an City as the research subjects. The survey was conducted with the general situation scale,self ability denial tendency scale,psychological capital scale,and occupational burnout scale,and the mediating effect of psychological capital was analyzed. Results The scores of self ability negation tendency,psychological capital and occupational burnout of gynecological nurses were (39.82±8.52),(90.39±14.82) and(60.27±12.37)points,respectively. The age,years of work,professional title,marital status,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency were the influencing factors of the self ability negation tendency of gynecological nurses(all P<0.05). The age,years of work,professional title,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency were the influencing factors of the psychological capital of gynecological nurses(all P<0.05). The age,years of work,professional title,monthly income,and monthly night shift frequency were the influencing factors of the occupational burnout of gynecological nurses(all P<0.05). The occupational burnout of gynecological nurses was positively correlated with self ability negation tendency,while negatively correlated with psychological capital,and the self ability negation tendency was negatively correlated with psychological capital(all P<0.01). The psychological capital partially mediated the relationship between self ability negation tendency and occupational burnout among gynecological nurses,with a mediation effect of 0.272,accounting for 40.06% of the total effect. Conclusion The psychological capital plays a partial mediating role between the self ability negation tendency and occupational burnout of gynecological nurses,and increasing the level of psychological capital is conducive to reducing the level of occupational burnout.
