摘要
背景:护士是医疗保健部门的骨干,经常面临工作压力和情绪需求的增加,这可能会深刻影响他们的心理健康。心理健康对护理实践至关重要,因为它直接影响到工作表现、病人护理质量和劳动力的可持续性。本研究考察了工作生活平衡对巴基斯坦护士心理健康的影响,同时考察了心理资本与工作满意度的中介作用。方法:2023年12月至2024年3月,对巴基斯坦木尔坦市27家公立和私立医院进行描述性横断面调查。本研究采用工作与生活平衡量表(WLB)、心理资本问卷(PCQ-12)、工作满意度问卷(JSS)和一般健康问卷(GHQ-12)对578名被试进行了问卷调查。使用SPSS和AMOS进行统计分析,以调查研究结构之间的直接和间接关系。结果:工作与生活平衡对护士心理资本(β = 0.083, p < 0.05)和工作满意度(β = 0.113, p < 0.01)均有正向影响,从而显著改善护士心理健康状况。序贯中介分析证实,心理资本和工作满意度(间接效应=0.022,95% CI: 0.01 ~ 0.037)在工作与生活平衡与心理健康之间起中介作用,表明健康的工作与生活平衡可以提高心理资源和工作满意度,从而改善心理健康。结论:本研究结果强调了在护理社区中营造支持性的工作环境对促进工作与生活的平衡、增强心理资源、提高工作满意度对维护护士整体心理健康的重要性。
Influence of Work-Life Balance on Mental Health Among Nurses: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital and Job Satisfaction.
Background: Nurses constitute the backbone of the healthcare sector, often confronting elevated levels of work-related stress and emotional demands that can profoundly impact their mental well-being. Mental health is critical to nursing practice as it directly influences job performance, patient care quality, and workforce sustainability. This study examines the effects of work-life balance on the mental health of nurses in Pakistan while examining the intermediary effects of psychological capital and job satisfaction.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from twenty-seven public and private hospitals in Multan, Pakistan, between December 2023 and March 2024. The research employed meticulously validated measurement tools: Work-Life Balance (WLB) Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire 12 (PCQ-12), Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12) to collect data on 578 participants. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and AMOS to investigate direct and indirect relationships among study constructs.
Results: The results indicated that work-life balance positively influences both psychological capital (β = 0.083, p < 0.05) and job satisfaction (β = 0.113, p < 0.01), which, in turn, significantly contributes to better mental health outcomes among nurses. Sequential mediation analysis confirmed that psychological capital and job satisfaction (Indirect effect=0.022, 95% CI: 0.01-0.037) mediate between work-life balance and mental health, suggesting that a healthy work-life balance enhances psychological resources and job satisfaction, thereby improving mental health.
Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive work environment within the nursing community that promotes work-life balance, enhances psychological resources, and improves job satisfaction to maintain nurses' overall mental health.
