This study aims to explore the relationship between medical staff's professional identity and the psychological stress they feel during a public health emergency. It also examines the possible mediating effects of staff's intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and moderating effects of staff's adversity appraisal on this relationship. This study's 447 participants were surveyed via questionnaire. The results indicate that (1) medical staff's sense of their professional identity can negatively predict the psychological stress they feel during public health emergencies; (2) staff's IU mediates the relationship between professional identity and psychological stress; (3) the direct effects of professional identity and psychological stress were moderated by staff's adoption of positive appraisal strategies (negative appraisal strategies), and the direct effect was significant in medical staff who adopted a less positive appraisal strategy (more negative appraisal strategy). Therefore, professional identity was proven to affect staff's psychological stress through their IU, and staff's adversity appraisal plays a moderating role in the direct path of this effect.
本研究旨在探讨医务人员的职业认同与公共卫生突发事件期间所感受到的心理压力之间的关系。同时，研究还考察了员工对不确定性的容忍度（IU）在这一关系中的中介作用，以及员工逆境评估对这一关系的调节作用。本研究的 447 名参与者通过问卷调查进行了调查。结果表明：（1）医务人员的职业认同感可以负向预测他们在公共卫生突发事件期间感受到的心理压力；（2）员工的 IU 中介了职业认同和心理压力之间的关系；（3）职业认同和心理压力的直接效应受到员工采用积极评估策略（消极评估策略）的调节，在采用不太积极评估策略（更多消极评估策略）的医务人员中，直接效应显著。因此，职业认同通过员工的 IU 影响员工的心理压力，而员工的逆境评估在这种效应的直接路径中起着调节作用。
