Abstract

Background: Evidence indicates that many nursing students exhibit signs of burnout and consider leaving nursing during nursing school. However, there is scant literature on the extent of this problem or mitigating factors.

Method: Undergraduate nursing students (n = 129) participated in a correlational study examining patterns of burnout and Psychological Capital (PsyCap), a four-pronged construct that captures hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism. Burnout and PsyCap were measured using the Maslach Burnout Survey (MBI-GS) and the PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ-24). Burn-out prevalence was calculated. Correlations were assessed using MBI-GS subscales and the PCQ-24. Bivariate regressions were used to assess the effects of PsyCap on burnout dimensions.

Results: High levels of exhaustion were identified, with 38.8% of the participants scoring in the overex-tended range, the first stage of burnout. Moderate PsyCap levels were found to be protective against burnout.

Conclusion: Strategies to increase PsyCap in nursing students may enhance well-being and reduce dropout. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(X):XXX-XXX.].

护理本科生职业倦怠与缓解心理因素的相关研究。

背景：有证据表明，许多护理专业的学生表现出倦怠的迹象，并考虑离开护理学校。然而，关于这一问题的严重程度或缓解因素的文献很少。方法：129名本科护生参与了倦怠与心理资本（PsyCap）模式的相关研究，心理资本是一个包含希望、效能、弹性和乐观的四要素结构。使用Maslach职业倦怠调查（MBI-GS）和心理cap问卷（PCQ-24）测量倦怠和心理cap。计算倦怠率。使用MBI-GS子量表和PCQ-24评估相关性。使用双变量回归来评估PsyCap对倦怠维度的影响。结果：高水平的疲劳被确定，38.8%的参与者得分在过度延伸范围，倦怠的第一阶段。适度的PsyCap水平被发现可以防止倦怠。结论：提高护生心理cap水平的策略可提高护生幸福感，减少辍学率。[J].中国生物医学工程学报，2015;32(4):559 - 561。
