Abstract

Objectives

To address the nursing crisis, it is imperative to comprehend the factors that influence nursing competencies, which are crucial for the delivery of quality patient care.

Background

Facing demographic shifts and increasingly complex healthcare demands, China's nursing sector struggles with workforce shortages and the need to enhance core competencies. This research explores the interplay of social support, psychological resilience, mindfulness and nursing competencies in various hospital environments in China.

Methods

Through a cross-sectional survey, 941 nurses across tertiary, secondary and private healthcare settings completed self-assessment questionnaires. The analysis included multiple linear regression and comparative methods to assess how psychological resilience, mindfulness and social support have an impact on nursing competencies.

Results

Findings revealed a strong relationship between psychological resilience and nursing competencies, with resilience being a key predictor. Mindfulness and social support also significantly contributed to competency levels. Nurses in tertiary hospitals showed greater competencies than those in secondary or private facilities.

Conclusion

Enhancing nursing competencies requires targeted interventions focusing on professional development and supportive workplace cultures. Incorporating psychological resilience, social support and mindfulness into nurse training is crucial for improving practice and policy.

背景面对人口结构的变化和日益复杂的医疗需求，中国护理行业面临着劳动力短缺和提高核心能力的问题。本研究探讨了中国不同医院环境中社会支持、心理复原力、正念和护理能力之间的相互作用。分析包括多元线性回归和比较法，以评估心理复原力、正念和社会支持对护理能力的影响。结果结果显示，心理复原力与护理能力之间存在密切关系，其中复原力是关键的预测因素。正念和社会支持对能力水平也有显著的促进作用。结论提高护理能力需要有针对性的干预措施，重点是专业发展和支持性工作场所文化。将心理复原力、社会支持和正念纳入护士培训对于改善实践和政策至关重要。
