Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to identify the factors affecting the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. The variables include event experiences, cognitive flexibility, and co-worker support.

Methods

A survey was conducted among 153 ICU nurses working in a general hospital or an advanced general hospital. The questionnaire was completed between October and December 2018, and 153 copies were used for the final analysis. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the factors associated with PTSD symptoms among ICU nurses.

Results

The level of PTSD symptoms of ICU nurses was 1.20 ± 0.82 out of 4. Full PTSD, signified by a total score of 25 or more, was reported by 45.1% of the study's 153 participants. The significant influencing factors of PTSD symptoms among ICU nurses were the “experience of traumatic events,” “trusted alliance,” which is a subarea of “coworker support,” and both “control” and “alternative,” which are subareas of “cognitive flexibility.” The explanatory power (49.8%) was statistically significant.

Conclusions

These results suggest that a program to enhance the cognitive flexibility and coworker support of ICU nurses needs to be developed to reduce the PTSD symptoms of ICU nurses.

重症监护室护士创伤后应激障碍症状的相关因素。

目的：确定影响重症监护室（ICU）护士创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的因素。变量包括事件经历、认知灵活性和同事支持：对 153 名在综合医院或高级综合医院工作的重症监护室护士进行了调查。问卷于 2018 年 10 月至 12 月间完成，最终分析使用了 153 份问卷。采用多元线性回归对数据进行分析，以确定与ICU护士创伤后应激障碍症状相关的因素：ICU护士的创伤后应激障碍症状水平为（1.20±0.82）分（满分4分），在研究的153名参与者中，有45.1%的人报告了完全性创伤后应激障碍，即总分达到或超过25分。ICU护士创伤后应激障碍症状的重要影响因素是 "创伤事件经历"、"同事支持 "的子领域 "信任联盟 "以及 "认知灵活性 "的子领域 "控制 "和 "替代"。解释力（49.8%）在统计学上具有显著意义：这些结果表明，需要制定一项提高 ICU 护士认知灵活性和同事支持的计划，以减少 ICU 护士的创伤后应激障碍症状。
