Correlation between occupational coping self-efficacy and family-work enrichment of male nurses

Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between the occupational coping self-efficacy and family-work enrichment. Methods In June 2017, totally 58 male nurses were recruited by convenient sampling method and investigated by the Occupational Coping Self-efficacy Scale for nurses and Work-family Enrichment Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze the effect of family-work enrichment on male nurses' professional coping self-efficacy. Results The mean scores of male nurses' occupational coping self-efficacy and work-family enrichment were (32.81±4.15) and (21.50±3.73) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that each dimension of work-family enrichment was significantly correlated to occupational coping self-efficacy (r=0.592, P<0.001) . Hierarchical regression analysis showed that all the dimensions of work-family enrichment could explain 33.5% of the variance of male nurses' occupational coping self-efficacy. Conclusions Male nurses' occupational coping self-efficacy is closely related to family-work enrichment. Key words: Nurses, male; Occupational coping self-efficacy; Family-work enrichment
