To explore the relationship between occupational stress and coping strategies among operating theatre nurses in China.
Studies on occupational stress and burnout in nurses are common, but there is a dearth of research on the coping strategies of operating theatre nurses.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in a typical operating theatre in China. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 70 nurses. The data were analysed using correlation and regression methods.
Nurses reported high stress levels in the workload and time pressure subscales. Female nurses' occupational stress was positively correlated with designation and negatively correlated with operation sets per day and night shifts. Nurses preferred self-control as a coping strategy. Active coping was positively related to resource and environmental problems, and passive coping was positively related to workload and time pressure, and to interpersonal relationship and management issues.
Nursing managers could reduce operating theatre nurses' passive coping by decreasing the stressors of workload and time pressure, and interpersonal relationships and management problems.
Nursing managers could employ more nurses to reduce nurses' workload and occupational stress. In addition, managers should consider fortifying nurses' active coping strategies and training nurses in problem-solving skills.
探讨中国手术室护士职业压力与应对策略之间的关系。
关于护士职业压力和职业倦怠的研究很常见，但针对手术室护士应对策略的研究却很匮乏。
在中国一家典型的手术室进行了一项横断面研究。对70名护士进行了问卷调查。采用相关性和回归分析方法对数据进行分析。
护士在工作量和时间压力子量表上报告了较高的压力水平。女性护士的职业压力与职称呈正相关，与每日手术台数和夜班呈负相关。护士更喜欢自我控制作为应对策略。积极应对与资源和环境问题呈正相关，消极应对与工作量、时间压力、人际关系和管理问题呈正相关。
护理管理者可以通过减少工作量、时间压力、人际关系和管理问题等压力源来减少手术室护士的消极应对。
护理管理者可以雇佣更多护士以减轻护士的工作量和职业压力。此外，管理者应考虑加强护士的积极应对策略，并培训护士解决问题的技能。
