Abstract

Objective

To investigate the relationship between work readiness and work well-being for newly graduated nurses and the mediating role of emotional labor and psychological capital in this relationship.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted in mainland China. A total of 478 newly graduated nurses completed the Work Readiness Scale, Emotional Labour Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Work Well-being Scale. Descriptive statistical methods, Pearson correlation analysis, and a structural equation model were used to analyze the available data.

Results

Newly graduated nurses' work readiness was significantly positively correlated with work well-being (r = 0.21, p < 0.01), deep acting (r = 0.11, p < 0.05), and psychological capital (r = 0.18, p < 0.01). Emotional labor and psychological capital partially mediated the relationship between work readiness and work well-being. Additionally, emotional labor and psychological capital had a chain-mediating effect on the association.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance

Work readiness not only affects newly graduated nurses' work well-being directly but also indirectly through emotional labor and psychological capital. These results provide theoretical support and guidance for the study and improvement of newly graduated nurses' work well-being and emphasize the importance of intervention measures to improve work readiness and psychological capital and the adoption of deep-acting emotional-labor strategies.

工作准备对新毕业护士工作幸福感的影响：情感劳动和心理资本的中介作用

方法在中国大陆进行了一项横断面调查。共有 478 名新毕业护士填写了工作准备量表、情绪劳动量表、心理资本问卷和工作幸福感量表。结果新毕业护士的工作准备度与工作幸福感（r = 0.21，p < 0.01）、深度行为（r = 0.11，p < 0.05）和心理资本（r = 0.18，p < 0.01）显著正相关。情感劳动和心理资本在一定程度上调节了工作准备度与工作幸福感之间的关系。结论与临床意义工作准备不仅直接影响新毕业护士的工作幸福感，还通过情感劳动和心理资本间接影响新毕业护士的工作幸福感。这些结果为研究和改善新毕业护士的工作幸福感提供了理论支持和指导，并强调了采取干预措施改善工作准备和心理资本以及采取深层情感劳动策略的重要性。
