Mental health research for new nurse during the standardized training period

Abstract

Objective: To explore the mental health status for new nurse during the standardization training period and provide scientific basis for managers to formulate corresponding measures. Methods: Using eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) and symptom self-assessment scale (SCL-90) , understanding social support scale (PSSS) , trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ) and other standardized psychological assessment tools and self designed general situation questionnaire, 141 nurses in our hospital before rotary department and 1 year later accepted the questionnaire survey while the control group accepted the same questionnaire. Results: Compared with before rotary department and the control group, the forced, anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity factor increased significantly in SCL-90 for rotary nurse and the differences were significant statistical significance (P<0.05) ; Pearson correlation analysis showed rotary nurse SCL-90 forcing factor scores and EPQ-E dimension scores, TCSQ negative coping scores were positively correlated (P<0.05; r1=0.537; r2=0.407; r3=0.701) , and were negatively correlated with EPQ-E dimension scores, PSSS scores and TCSQ active responding score (P<0.05; r1=-0.621; r2=-0.671; r3=-0.312) ; Anxiety was positively correlated with EPQ-N, PSSS scores and TCSQ negative responding score (P<0.05; r1=0.607; r2=0.409; r3=0.764) , was negatively correlated with EPQ-E dimension scores, PSSS scores and TCSQ positive responding score (P<0.05; r1=-0.569; r2=-0.723; r3= -0.418) ; Interpersonal sensitivity factor score was positively correlated with EPQ-N, P dimension scores and TCSQ negative coping scores (P<0.05; r1=0.611; r2=0.687; r3=0.773) , was negatively correlated with EPQ-E dimension scores, PSSS scores and TCSQ active responding score (P<0.05; r1=-0.506; r2=-0.693; r3=-0.307) . Conclusion: Rotary nurse mental health status was significantly lower than non-rotary nurse.Insufficient social support, negative coping style and instability personality characteristics are the main risk factors to affect the rotation nurses mental health.
