Abstract

Migrant nurses face many challenges as they adapt and assimilate into their new working environments. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the perceptions of work-related strain, sense of coherence and intercultural sensitivity among nurses who were employed at a public mental health facility in Qatar. We used three self-report questionnaires: the work-related strain inventory, sense of coherence scale and an intercultural sensitivity scale. A cohort of 136 nurses voluntarily engaged in the study. The majority of participants were male, migrated from South Asia and were in their mid-30s. The study found that both sense of coherence and intercultural sensitivity were inversely proportional to work-related strain. Work-related strain was found to be lower than expected; the factors that appear to protect against work-related strain include longer clinical experience, a high sense of coherence, and intercultural sensitivity. Additionally, greater age and extended clinical experience, combined with a history of work in three or more countries, associated with higher scores on the sense of coherence scale. Lastly, being female, having a postgraduate degree and holding a senior-level position were associated with increased intercultural sensitivity. As nurses' migration across national and international borders increases in response to global demand, this study has important implications for nursing administrators, educators and policymakers in relation to the development and implementation of strategies to enhance nurses' sense of coherence and intercultural sensitivity and prevent work-related strain. Trial Registration number: NCT04196751.

卡塔尔心理健康护士的工作压力、连贯感和跨文化敏感性:一项横断面研究。
移民护士在适应和融入新的工作环境时面临着许多挑战。本横断面研究旨在调查卡塔尔一家公共精神卫生机构的护士对工作相关压力、协调感和跨文化敏感性的看法。我们使用了三份自我报告问卷:工作相关压力清单、协调感量表和跨文化敏感性量表。共有 136 名护士自愿参与了这项研究。大部分参与者为男性,来自南亚,年龄在 30 岁左右。研究发现,协调感和跨文化敏感性与工作压力成反比。研究发现,与工作相关的压力比预期的要低;似乎可以防止与工作相关的压力的因素包括较长的临床经验、较高的协调感和跨文化敏感性。此外,年龄越大、临床经验越丰富、在三个或三个以上国家工作过,则一致性量表的得分越高。最后,女性、拥有研究生学位和担任高级职务与跨文化敏感性的提高有关。随着护士为应对全球需求而进行的跨国和国际移徙的增加,这项研究对于护理管理者、教育者和政策制定者制定和实施提高护士的一致性和跨文化敏感性以及防止工作压力的战略具有重要意义。试验注册号:NCT04196751:NCT04196751。
