Abstract

Introduction: Aimed at preparing the basis for planning evidence-based public health measures for preservation/ improvement of nurses' work ability (WA), the objective was to assess the relationship between WA and sense of coherence (SOC).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 among 713 nurses in Croatia. The association between poor WA index (PWAI) and SOC score (SOCS), adjusted for possible confounders, was determined by binary logistic regression analysis.

Results: The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed a statistically significant negative association between SOCS and PWAI (OR=0.977, 95% CI 0.968 - 0.986, p<0.001). The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed an even stronger statistically significant negative association between SOCS and PWAI (OR=0.966, 95% CI 0.954 - 0.977, p<0.001) when adjusted for confounders.

Conclusions: The present study suggested SOC as an important health promoting resource of nurses which might offer protection regarding work-related stress. Weak SOC could be an important explanatory factor of poor WA. Accordingly, improving SOC by implementing health promotion measures in nurses' workplace could be an important way to increase the WA among nurses.

连贯性感对工作能力的影响:克罗地亚护士的横断面研究。

前言:目的是评估护士工作能力(WA)与连贯感(SOC)之间的关系，为制定循证公共卫生措施以保持/提高护士工作能力(WA)奠定基础。方法:2018年对克罗地亚713名护士进行横断面研究。通过二元logistic回归分析确定WA差指数(PWAI)与SOC评分(SOCS)之间的关系，并对可能的混杂因素进行调整。结果:单因素logistic回归分析结果显示，SOC与PWAI呈显著负相关(OR=0.977, 95% CI 0.968 ~ 0.986)。结论:本研究提示SOC是护士重要的健康促进资源，可能对工作压力提供保护。SOC弱可能是WA差的重要解释因素。因此，通过在护士工作场所实施健康促进措施来改善SOC可能是提高护士工作满意度的重要途径。
