Abstract

Background: Nurse job burnout is a critical issue affecting medical quality and safety. Psychological capital (PsyCap) is associated with enhanced career satisfaction and reduced work stress. This study evaluates the relationship between nurses' PsyCap and job burnout, while considering leadership and family as contextual factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used, collecting data from 499 nurses via validated questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression, were conducted to assess the relationship between PsyCap and job burnout. Leadership and family were included as contextual variables in hierarchical regression models to evaluate their indirect influences.

Results: Among nurses, 63.9% experienced mild to moderate burnout. The average PsyCap score was 107.88 ± 20.55. PsyCap showed a significant negative correlation with burnout dimensions (correlation coefficients: -0.43 to -0.53, p < 0.01). Higher PsyCap significantly predicted lower job burnout (β = -0.44, p < 0.01). Leadership and family influences had minor but noteworthy indirect effects on this relationship.

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that higher levels of nurses' PsyCap are associated with lower levels of job burnout. While these findings highlight PsyCap's potential role in mitigating burnout, further research is needed to confirm causal relationships and assess the effectiveness of interventions aimed at enhancing PsyCap and supportive environments.

研究护士心理资本与工作倦怠之间的关系：从护士、护士长和护士家属的角度进行多层次分析。

背景：护士职业倦怠是影响医疗质量和医疗安全的重要问题。心理资本（PsyCap）与提高职业满意度和减少工作压力有关。本研究在考虑领导和家庭作为情境因素的情况下，评估护士心理cap与工作倦怠的关系。方法：采用横断面研究设计，对499名护士进行问卷调查。采用描述性统计、相关分析、多元回归分析等方法对心理cap与工作倦怠的关系进行评估。在层次回归模型中，以领导和家庭为背景变量，评估其间接影响。结果：63.9%的护士存在轻至中度职业倦怠。平均PsyCap评分为107.88±20.55。心理cap与职业倦怠各维度呈显著负相关（相关系数：-0.43 ~ -0.53,p）。结论：本研究结果提示护士心理cap水平越高，工作倦怠水平越低。虽然这些发现强调了PsyCap在缓解倦怠方面的潜在作用，但需要进一步的研究来确认因果关系，并评估旨在增强PsyCap和支持性环境的干预措施的有效性。
