This current study examined the mediation roles of burnout and job stress in the association between fear of COVID-19 and mental health among emergency nurses.
Cross-sectional survey.
A total of 516 emergency nurses with a mean age of 41.18 (SD = 8.24), mostly females (76.16%) and married (78.9%) responded to measures on fear of COVID-19, burnout, job stress and mental health between 15 September and 7 November 2020.
There was a significantly direct effect between (a) fear of COVID-19 and mental health, (b) fear of COVID-19 and mediators (burnout and job stress) and (c) mediators (burnout and job stress) and mental health. Also, there was a significantly indirect effect between fear of COVID-19 and mental health through job stress, burnout or both.
Fear of COVID-19 directly and indirectly influenced the mental health of emergency nurses. Therefore, hospital authorities should provide sufficient resources to allay the fears of nurses during this COVID-19 pandemic period.
本研究旨在检验倦怠和工作压力在新型冠状病毒肺炎恐惧与急诊护士心理健康之间的中介作用。
横断面调查。
共有 516 名平均年龄为 41.18(SD=8.24)的急诊护士在 2020 年 9 月 15 日至 11 月 7 日期间对新型冠状病毒肺炎恐惧、倦怠、工作压力和心理健康进行了测量,其中大多数为女性(76.16%)和已婚(78.9%)。
(a)新型冠状病毒肺炎恐惧与心理健康之间,(b)新型冠状病毒肺炎恐惧与中介变量(倦怠和工作压力)之间,(c)中介变量(倦怠和工作压力)与心理健康之间均存在显著的直接效应。此外,新型冠状病毒肺炎恐惧通过工作压力、倦怠或两者对心理健康存在显著的间接效应。
新型冠状病毒肺炎恐惧直接和间接地影响了急诊护士的心理健康。因此,在新型冠状病毒肺炎流行期间,医院管理部门应为护士提供充足的资源以减轻其恐惧。
