背景:问题解决能力的重要性已在世界范围内的众多研究中得到证实,强调其在提高护理实习生技能和减轻心理压力方面的作用。然而,现有研究表明,护理实习生的问题解决能力亟待进一步提高。对护理实习生的问题解决能力进行了有限的研究,以及解决问题能力之间的相关性,未来时间的观点,中国护理实习生未来的工作自我还不清楚。
目的:调查解决问题的能力,未来时间的观点,以及中国护理实习生未来的工作自我,并检查这些变量之间的关系。此外,本研究旨在探讨未来工作自我在问题解决能力与未来时间视角之间的中介作用。
方法:采用横截面和相关设计,坚持质量报告符合STROBE清单。从2023年5月8日至2024年2月15日,中国六个城市的15家三级甲等医院招募了1,251名护理实习生。人口特征问卷,社会问题解决清单,未来时间透视库存,并使用了未来工作自我量表。数据采用描述性统计分析,单变量,相关性,和过程插件调解效果分析。
结果:解决问题能力的总分,未来时间的观点,和未来工作自我分别为64.39±18.55、45.08±11.37和16.92±5.28。问题解决能力与未来时间视角(r=0.638,p<0.001)和未来工作自我(r=0.625,p<0.001)呈正相关。此外,未来工作自我在解决问题能力和未来时间视角之间的部分中介作用,占总效应的39.7%。
结论:解决问题的能力,未来时间的观点,中国护理实习生未来的工作自我相对中等,表明需要改进。建议护理管理者和教育工作者积极实施职业生涯管理和规划方案。通过增强护理实习生的未来时间观点和未来工作自我,他们解决问题的能力可以提高。这个,反过来,将促进他们适应临床工作,提高护理质量,促进其护理专业的发展。
BACKGROUND: The significance of problem-solving ability has been confirmed in numerous studies worldwide, highlighting its role in enhancing the skills of nursing interns and reducing psychological pressure. However, existing research indicates that the problem-solving ability of nursing interns urgently needs to be further improved. Limited research has been conducted on the problem-solving ability of nursing interns, and the correlations among problem-solving ability, future time perspective, and future work self of Chinese nursing interns are unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate problem-solving ability, future time perspective, and future work self among the Chinese nursing interns, and to examine the relationships among these variables. Additionally, the study aims to explore the mediating role of future work self between problem-solving ability and future time perspective.
METHODS: A cross-sectional and correlational design was employed, adhering to the quality reporting conformed to the STROBE Checklist. From May 8, 2023, to February 15, 2024, 1,251 nursing interns were recruited from 15 tertiary grade-A hospitals across six cities in
China. The Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Social Problem-Solving Inventory, Future Time Perspective Inventory, and Future Work Self Scale were used. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate, correlation, and process plug-in mediation effect analyses.
RESULTS: The total scores for problem-solving ability, future time perspective, and future work self were 64.39 ± 18.55, 45.08 ± 11.37, and 16.92 ± 5.28, respectively. Problem-solving ability was positively correlated with future time perspective (r = 0.638, p < 0.001) and future work self (r = 0.625, p < 0.001). Additionally, future work self partially mediated mediating role between problem-solving ability and future time perspective, accounting for 39.7% of the total effect.
CONCLUSIONS: The problem-solving ability, future time perspective, and future work self among the Chinese nursing interns were relatively moderate, indicating a need for improvement. It is suggested that nursing managers and educators should actively implement career management and planning programs. By enhancing the future time perspective and future work self of nursing interns, their problem-solving ability can be improved. This, in turn, will facilitate their adaptation to clinical work, enhance the quality of nursing care, and promote the development of their nursing profession.
