Nurses working in hospitals can suffer from occupational stress due to high workloads and low job and/or personal resources. This can lead to work-related stress, exhaustion, health problems, and low quality of care.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of work-related self-care skill training for nurses.
A pilot study was conducted with 94 nurses in hospital departments in Germany. Nurses were either assigned to the intervention group that received competence training or to a waitlist control group. The intervention took place in groups over a period of 12 weeks. Training content included i.e. work-related stress management training, problem-solving techniques, and solution-focused counselling. The outcomes studied were changes in work-related stress, emotional exhaustion, emotion regulation, and job satisfaction. Three follow-up assessments were arranged.
Nurses in the IG achieved a decrease in perceived job stress and emotional exhaustion as well as improvements with regard to enhanced emotion regulation skills. The intervention was evaluated with high satisfaction scores.
This study showed first indications that training of mental health self-care skills for junior nurses could be a supportive approach for nurses starting work in hospital departments. However, replication studies are needed to verify the results.
在医院工作的护士可能因工作量大、工作资源和/或个人资源不足而遭受职业压力。这可能导致与工作相关的压力、疲惫、健康问题以及护理质量低下。
本研究的目的是评估护士工作相关自我护理技能培训的效果。
在德国医院科室对94名护士进行了一项试点研究。护士们要么被分配到接受能力培训的干预组，要么被分配到候补对照组。干预以小组形式进行，为期12周。培训内容包括工作相关压力管理培训、解决问题的技巧以及聚焦解决方案的咨询。研究的结果是与工作相关的压力、情绪疲惫、情绪调节和工作满意度的变化。安排了三次随访评估。
干预组护士的感知工作压力和情绪疲惫有所降低，情绪调节技能也有所提高。该干预的满意度得分很高。
本研究首次表明，对初级护士进行心理健康自我护理技能培训可能是一种支持医院科室新入职护士的方法。然而，需要重复研究来验证结果。
