Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between the worker-occupation fit and occupational stress in nurses. Methods: Convenience sampling method was used to collect 1 463 nurses from one general hospital and three specialized hospitals from July to October 2019. Depression-anxiety-stress scale (DASS-21) was used to assess the level of occupational stress. Pearson correlation and multivariate logistic regression model were used to analyze the relationship between the worker-occupation fit and occupational stress. Results: The average age of 1 463 nurses was (31.8±7.2) years, and 92.3% (n=1 350) of nurses were female. 47.2% (n=690) of nurses had occupational stress and the mean score of worker-occupation fit was (34.4±6.1). The worker-occupation fit and occupational stress had a significant negative correlation (r=-0.472, P<0.001). The moderate and high level of the worker-occupation fit, characteristic fit, need supply fit, and demand ability fit had protective effects on occupational stress based on the outcome of multivariate logistic regression model [OR (95%CI) were 0.40 (0.28-0.59), 0.16 (0.10-0.24); 0.32 (0.22-0.47), 0.18 (0.11-0.20); 0.33 (0.21-0.52), 0.18 (0.11-0.30); 0.59 (0.37-0.9), 0.54 (0.38-0.78), respectively]. Conclusion: The worker-occupation fit and different types of fit, including characteristic fit, need supply fit, and demand ability fit, could be associated with the occupational stress.
