Abstract
AimTo apply the reflective risk assessment model in a Chinese health care setting to investigate the relationships between professional quality of life and mental health risk profiles.BackgroundFew studies have connected the quality of work life with contributing and coexisting factors such as depression, anxiety and stress, but none to date in a Chinese health care setting.MethodA cross‐sectional survey of 950 registered Chinese nurses was employed.Results299 of 861 participants (34.7%) were categorized into four of five professional quality of life risk profiles, consistent with the reflective risk assessment model. Significant differences were seen with large‐sized effects in the mean scores of stress, anxiety and depression among the participants, with participants of the very distressed profile having significantly higher mean scores in stress, anxiety and depression, followed by the at‐risk profile group.ConclusionThe reflective risk assessment model and professional quality of life five risk profiles are supported by this study.Implications for Nursing ManagementThe reflective risk assessment model can be used to detect risk factors for mental health in nurses and for the design of interventions that promote nurses’ mental health.
