The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between alexithymia, communication skills, and mental well-being of nurses.
This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 272 nurses working in a hospital in Turkey. Data were collected using the "Introductory Information Form", "Health Professionals Communication Skills Scale", "Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale", and "Toronto Alexithymia Scale". Mean and percentage distributions as well as Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The STROBE checklist was used to report this study.
It was determined that non-alexithymic nurses had higher mean scores communication skills and in mental well-being compared to alexithymic nurses. The nurses' alexithymia scores were negatively correlated with their communication skills and mental well-being scores. On the other hand, their nurses' mental well-being scores were positively correlated with their communication skills scores. Communication skills and mental well-being of the nurses accounted for 38.5 % of their alexithymia levels.
It is recommended that awareness-based interventions be carried out since increasing the emotional awareness of nurses will contribute to the development of their professional skills as well as their positive psychological effects.
本研究旨在探讨护士的述情障碍、沟通技巧和心理健康之间的关系。
本研究为描述性和相关性研究，对象为土耳其一家医院的 272 名护士。研究采用“简介信息表”、“卫生专业人员沟通技巧量表”、“华威-爱丁堡心理健康量表”和“多伦多述情障碍量表”收集数据。采用均数和百分比分布以及皮尔逊相关分析和多元回归分析对数据进行分析。本研究按照 STROBE 清单进行报告。
与述情障碍护士相比，非述情障碍护士的沟通技巧和心理健康的平均得分更高。护士的述情障碍得分与他们的沟通技巧和心理健康得分呈负相关。另一方面，他们的护士的心理健康得分与他们的沟通技巧得分呈正相关。护士的沟通技巧和心理健康状况占其述情障碍水平的 38.5%。
建议开展基于意识的干预措施，因为提高护士的情绪意识将有助于发展他们的专业技能以及对他们产生积极的心理影响。
