Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between compulsory citizenship behavior and nurses' silence.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional online study was conducted in October 2023, targeting 402 nurses working in Yichang Central People's Hospital, Hubei Province, China. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire comprising demographic details, the Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale, and the Nurses' Silence Scale. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 25.0, including descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analyses.

Results: The study revealed that the overall mean score for nurses' compulsory citizenship behavior was 14.63 (3.99), while the overall mean score for nurses' silence was 32.78 (8.28). Significant differences in compulsory citizenship behavior scores were observed among nurses with varying levels of work experience (P < 0.05). Similarly, significant variations in silence scores were identified according to work experience and employment type (P < 0.05). After adjusting for work experience and employment type, a significant correlation was identified between compulsory citizenship behavior and nurses' silence (P < 0.05).

Conclusions: Nurses exhibited moderate levels of compulsory citizenship behavior and silence. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was revealed between compulsory citizenship behavior and nurses' silence.

Recommendation: Nursing administrators should implement targeted measures to lower compulsory citizenship behavior, thereby fostering a more open and communicative environment within the organization, and encouraging nurses to express their opinions more freely.

强制性公民行为与护士沉默的关系：横断面研究。

目的：探讨强制性公民行为与护士沉默的关系。方法：于2023年10月对湖北省宜昌市中心人民医院402名护士进行描述性横断面在线研究。数据通过结构化问卷收集，包括人口统计细节、强制性公民行为量表和护士沉默量表。采用SPSS 25.0进行统计分析，包括描述性统计、t检验、单因素方差分析、Pearson相关分析和层次回归分析。结果：研究发现，护士义务公民行为总体平均得分为14.63分（3.99分），护士沉默总体平均得分为32.78分（8.28分）。不同工作经验水平的护士在义务公民行为得分上存在显著差异(P)。结论：护士表现出中等水平的义务公民行为和沉默。此外，强制性公民行为与护士沉默之间存在显著的正相关。建议：护理管理者应采取有针对性的措施，减少强制性的公民行为，从而在组织内营造一个更加开放和沟通的环境，鼓励护士更自由地表达意见。
