Abstract:

Objective To investigate the job crafting,workplace exclusion and mental health of nurses in the oncology department,study the impact and mediating role of job crafting and workplace exclusion on mental health,and provide reference evidence for hospital nursing managers to formulate intervention measures to improve the mental health of nurses. Methods A simple random sampling method was used to survey 176 nurses in the oncology department of 10 grade-A tertiary general hospitals in Hebei Province from December 2024 to January 2025 using a job crafting questionnaire,a workplace exclusion questionnaire and a mental health questionnaire,and their correlation was analyzed. The differences in job crafting,workplace exclusion and mental health scores among different factors were compared. The mediating role of job crafting between workplace exclusion and mental health was analyzed. Results The total scores of job crafting,workplace rejection and mental health of the 176 oncology nurses were (80.35±15.76),(14.53±2.14) and (13.64±2.85)points,respectively. There were statistically significant differences in job crafting scores among oncology nurses with different age,professional and technical title,years of nursing experience,average monthly income,average monthly number of shifts and marital status(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of workplace rejection and mental health among oncology nurses with different gender,age,professional and technical title,nursing experience,average monthly income,average monthly shifts,and marital status(all P<0.05). The job crafting was positively correlated with mental health of oncology nurses(r=0.582,P<0.01),workplace rejection was negatively correlated with mental health(r=-0.613,P<0.01),and job crafting was negatively correlated with workplace rejection(r=-0.447,P<0.01). The job crafting played a partial mediating role between workplace rejection and mental health of oncology nurses,with a mediating effect value of -0.279,accounting for 46.81% of the total effect. Conclusion The job crafting plays a partial mediating role between workplace rejection and mental health of oncology nurses,and hospital nursing managers and oncology nurses should pay attention to the impact of workplace rejection and job crafting on mental health,take corresponding measures to improve the level of job crafting,thereby reducing the negative impact of workplace rejection and improving the mental health of oncology nurses.
