Abstract
Aim
To investigate coping strategies, anxiety and self-efficacy among participants in Neonatal Resuscitation Courses for instructors.
Methods
Cross-sectional study. Sixty-four participants in two Neonatal Resuscitation Courses for Instructors were assessed by using validated questionnaires.
Results
Overall, self-efficacy and functional coping strategies were moderate/high, while levels of anxiety were quite low. Self- efficacy was positively correlated with positive attitude (r = 0.29; p = 0.02) and problem solving (r = 0.44; p < 0.01) and inversely correlated with avoidance strategies (r=-0.30; p = 0.01) and anxiety (trait r=-0.47; p < 0.01; state r=-0.35; p = 0.01). Emotional maturity was positively correlated with positive attitude (r = 0.42; p < 0.01) and problem solving (r = 0.45; p < 0.01) and inversely correlated with anxiety (trait -0.51; p < 0.01; state r=-0.34; p = 0.01). Finalization of action was positively correlated with problem solving (r = 0.40; p < 0.01) and inversely correlated with avoidance strategies (r=-0.34; p = 0.01) and trait anxiety (r=-0.32; p = 0.01). Relational fluidity was positively correlated with turning to religion (r = 0.28; p = 0.03) and inversely correlated with avoidance strategies (r=-0.31; p = 0.01), and trait anxiety (r=-0.42; p < 0.01). Context analysis was positively correlated with problem solving (r = 0.34; p = 0.01) and inversely correlated with state anxiety (r=-0.36; p < 0.01). Problem solving was significantly higher in doctors compared to nurses (p = 0.01).
Conclusions
Neonatal resuscitation instructor candidates displayed high self-efficacy and functional coping strategies, with low anxiety levels. This may help professionals to better deal with stressful and demanding situations and reinforce adaptive work management.
目的探讨新生儿复苏指导课程参与者的应对策略、焦虑和自我效能感。MethodsCross-sectional研究。采用有效问卷对两门新生儿复苏课程的64名参与者进行评估。结果总体而言，自我效能感和功能性应对策略处于中高水平，焦虑水平较低。自我效能感与积极态度（r= 0.29; p = 0.02）和问题解决能力（r= 0.44; p < 0.01）呈正相关，与回避策略（r=-0.30; p = 0.01）和焦虑（特质r=-0.47; p < 0.01；状态r=-0.35; p = 0.01）呈负相关。情绪成熟度与积极态度（r = 0.42; p < 0.01）、问题解决能力（r = 0.45; p < 0.01）呈正相关，与焦虑（特质r= -0.51; p < 0.01；状态r=-0.34; p = 0.01）呈负相关。最终行动与问题解决呈正相关（r= 0.40; p < 0.01），与回避策略（r=-0.34; p = 0.01）和特质焦虑（r=-0.32; p = 0.01）呈负相关。关系流动性与宗教信仰正相关（r= 0.28; p = 0.03），与回避策略负相关（r=-0.31; p = 0.01），与特质焦虑负相关（r=-0.42; p < 0.01）。情境分析与问题解决能力呈正相关（r= 0.34; p = 0.01），与状态焦虑呈负相关（r=-0.36; p < 0.01）。医生解决问题的能力显著高于护士（p = 0.01）。结论新生儿复苏指导员候选人表现出较高的自我效能感和功能性应对策略，焦虑水平低。这可以帮助专业人士更好地处理压力和要求高的情况，并加强适应性工作管理。
