Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of psychological resilience among clinical nurses in the southeastern region of Hubei Province,and analyze the relationships between psychological resilience,work environment,big five personality traits,and coping styles,in order to provide evidence-based support for developing targeted interventions of psychological resilience for clinical nurses. Methods From September to December 2023,a cross-sectional study was conducted on 773 clinical nurses in the southeastern region of Hubei Province. Guided by the environment-individual interaction resilience model,the questionnaire survey were conducted using the general information questionnaire,Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC),the big five personality traits inventory-Chinese version(TIPI-C),practice environment scale of the nursing work index, and simplified coping style questionnaire(SCSQ),and the data were analyzed. Results The total score of psychological resilience was (73.59±18.66)points,with scores of (11.70±3.16),(22.52±5.89) and (37.37±10.38)points in the three dimensions of optimism, strength,and tenacity. The scores of psychological resilience and its various dimensions were positively correlated with the nursing work environment and its various dimensions(all P<0.05). The scores of psychological resilience and its various dimensions were positively correlated with the scores of openness,conscientiousness,extro-version,and agreeableness dimensions in the big five personality traits(all P<0.05),and negatively correlated with the neuroticism dimension(all P<0.05). The scores of psychological resilience and its various dimensions were positively correlated with the scores of the two dimensions of positive coping styles(all P<0.05). Neuroticism,openness,and agreeableness in the big five personality traits,positive coping,adequate staffing,and workplace responsibility were all independent influencing factors of clinical nurses' psychological resilience(all P<0.05). Conclusion The psychological resilience of clinical nurses is at an above average level. Nursing administrators should pay attention to the individual personality traits of clinical nurses,optimize the nursing work environment,cultivate positive coping styles,and construct a comprehensive,multi perspective,scientifically effective,and targeted psychological resilience interventions for nurses from an individual to the environment,in order to improve the psychological resilience of clinical nurses and promote their mental health.
