The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating and moderating mechanisms by which social connectedness predicts life satisfaction among Chinese nurses.
Previous researchers have primarily focused on sociodemographic and occupational domain risk factors for nurses' life satisfaction with relatively little insight into facilitative and protective factors and underlying psychological mechanisms.
We investigated 459 Chinese nurses' social connectedness, work-family enrichment, self-concept clarity, and life satisfaction via a cross-sectional design. We explored the underlying predictive mechanisms among these variables by creating a moderated mediation model. We followed STROBE checklist.
Work-family enrichment played a mediating role in understanding the positive effects of social connectedness on nurses' life satisfaction. In addition, the moderating effect of self-concept clarity was manifested itself in the association between work-family enrichment and life satisfaction.
Interpersonal asset (social connectedness) and the positive aspect of the work-family interface (work-family enrichment) were significant contributors to nurses' life satisfaction. In particular, high self-concept clarity can enhance the beneficial effect of work-family enrichment on life satisfaction.
Strengthening social connectedness, promoting synergy in work-family roles, and maintaining a clarity of self-concept are important intervention pathways to enhance the health and well-being of nurses.
本研究旨在确定社会联系预测中国护士生活满意度的中介和调节机制。
以前的研究主要关注护士生活满意度的社会人口学和职业领域风险因素，而对促进和保护因素以及潜在的心理机制了解甚少。
我们通过横断面设计调查了 459 名中国护士的社会联系、工作-家庭充实度、自我概念清晰度和生活满意度。我们通过创建一个调节中介模型，探讨了这些变量之间的潜在预测机制。我们遵循 STROBE 清单。
工作-家庭充实度在理解社会联系对护士生活满意度的积极影响方面发挥了中介作用。此外，自我概念清晰度的调节作用表现在工作-家庭充实度与生活满意度之间的关系上。
人际资产（社会联系）和工作-家庭界面的积极方面（工作-家庭充实度）是护士生活满意度的重要贡献因素。特别是，高自我概念清晰度可以增强工作-家庭充实度对生活满意度的有益影响。
加强社会联系、促进工作-家庭角色的协同作用以及保持自我概念的清晰是增强护士健康和幸福感的重要干预途径。
