This study aimed to investigate the association of personal strength use with job satisfaction among Chinese nurses and to examine the mediating roles of basic psychological needs satisfaction and resilience in this association.
The topic of nurses' job satisfaction has been extensively studied worldwide because of its significant effects on nurse turnover, recruitment, and quality of care.
A sample of 417 nurses completed a multi-section questionnaire that included established scales to measure personal strength use, basic psychological needs satisfaction, resilience, and job satisfaction.
The results revealed that personal strength use was positively linked to nurses' job satisfaction. Additionally, basic psychological needs satisfaction and resilience mediated the association of personal strength use with job satisfaction both independently and serially.
Personal strength use increases nurses' job satisfaction by satisfying their basic psychological needs and improving their resilience.
Creating a culture that supports the use of personal strengths among nurses is a promising strategy that hospital managers could consider to enhance nurses' job satisfaction. Furthermore, implementing programs and interventions to improve nurses' basic psychological needs satisfaction and resilience could further boost their job satisfaction.
本研究旨在探讨中国护士个人力量的使用与工作满意度之间的关系，并检验基本心理需求满足感和韧性在其中的中介作用。
由于护士离职率、招聘和护理质量对其有重大影响，因此，护士工作满意度已成为全球广泛研究的课题。
采用多部分问卷对 417 名护士进行了调查，问卷包括已建立的量表，用于测量个人力量的使用、基本心理需求的满足感、韧性和工作满意度。
结果表明，个人力量的使用与护士的工作满意度呈正相关。此外，基本心理需求的满足感和韧性独立和连续中介了个人力量的使用与工作满意度之间的关系。
通过满足基本心理需求和提高韧性，个人力量的使用增加了护士的工作满意度。
营造一种支持护士使用个人力量的文化是医院管理者可以考虑的一种有前途的策略，以提高护士的工作满意度。此外，实施改善护士基本心理需求满足感和韧性的方案和干预措施，可以进一步提高他们的工作满意度。
