The relationship between self consistency and congruence degree of nurses and their occupational stress and qualities of life

Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between self consistency and congruence degree of nurses and their occupational stress and qualities of life. Methods By randomly cluster sampling, 84 nurses (all the nurses were female) in two three class genera] hospitals of our city were investigated with self consistency and congruence scale (SCCS), occupational stress inventory revised edition (OSI -R) and quality of life inventory (GQLI) . The nurses were divided into high degree self consistency and congruence group (total score ≤74) and lower degree group (total score > 102) by the score of their SCCS. Results The average score of SCCS, self and experiential inconsistency and incongruence, score of self flexibility and serf -stereotypes of score in 84 nurses were 98.36 ± 15.24, 42. 31 ± 8. 01, 40. 35 ± 8.23 and 19. 675 ± 4. 12 respectively. 29 nurses belonged to high degree self consistency and congruence, the factors score of occupation task (OSI -R) and tension reaction di-mensionality of high degree self consistency and congruence nurses were lower;while answer to resource dimen-sionality and factor score besides entertainment was higher than the latter, the differences between them were obvi-ously (P <0. 01) . Besides matter life dimensionality, the others score of dimensionality of high degree self con-sistency and congruence nurses were higher obviously than the ones of lower degree self consistency and congruence nurses, the difference were also obviously. Correlation analysis revealed that the score of SCCS correlated positively with the score of OSI -R, occupation task and tension reaction dimensionality;while it correlated negatively with answer to resource of OSI -R, total score of GQLI, and body health, psychology health and society function di-mensionality, and had no correlation with matter life dimensionality. Conclusions High degree self consistency and congruence nurses have lower occupational tension feel and higher quality of llfe, and have more ability to treat stress.
