This study aimed to examine the relationship between work stress and depression; and investigate the mediating effect of occupational burnout among nurses in paediatric intensive care units.
The relationships among work stress, occupational burnout and depression level have been explored, neither regarding occupational burnout as the mediating role that causes work stress to induce depression nor considering the paediatric intensive care unit context.
A cross-sectional correlational design was conducted.
One hundred and forty-four female paediatric intensive care unit nurses from seven teaching hospitals in southern Taiwan were recruited as the participants. Data were collected by structured questionnaires including individual demographics, the Nurse Stress Checklist, the Occupational Burnout Inventory and the Taiwan Depression Questionnaire.
The results indicated that after controlling for individual demographic variables, the correlations of work stress with occupational burnout, as well as work stress and occupational burnout with depression level were all positive. Furthermore, occupational burnout may exert a partial mediating effect on the relationship between work stress and depression level.
This study provides information about work stress, occupational burnout and depression level, and their correlations, as well as the mediating role of occupational burnout among paediatric intensive care unit nurses.
It suggests government departments and hospital administrators when formulating interventions to prevent work stress and occupational burnout. These interventions can subsequently prevent episodes of depression in paediatric intensive care unit nurses, thereby providing patients with a safe and high-quality nursing environment.
本研究旨在探讨工作压力与抑郁之间的关系；并调查儿科重症监护病房护士职业倦怠的中介作用。
工作压力、职业倦怠与抑郁水平之间的关系已被探讨，但既未将职业倦怠视为导致工作压力引发抑郁的中介作用，也未考虑儿科重症监护病房的背景情况。
采用横断面相关设计。
招募了来自台湾南部七家教学医院的144名儿科重症监护病房女护士作为研究对象。通过结构化问卷收集数据，包括个人人口统计学信息、护士压力清单、职业倦怠量表和台湾抑郁问卷。
结果表明，在控制了个人人口统计学变量后，工作压力与职业倦怠之间的相关性，以及工作压力和职业倦怠与抑郁水平之间的相关性均为正相关。此外，职业倦怠可能在工作压力与抑郁水平之间的关系中发挥部分中介作用。
本研究提供了有关工作压力、职业倦怠和抑郁水平及其相关性的信息，以及职业倦怠在儿科重症监护病房护士中的中介作用。
它建议政府部门和医院管理人员在制定预防工作压力和职业倦怠的干预措施时参考。这些干预措施随后可以预防儿科重症监护病房护士的抑郁发作，从而为患者提供一个安全和高质量的护理环境。
