The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between control beliefs about stress and post-traumatic growth among Chinese nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction and optimism in this relationship. A total of 692 Chinese nurses participated in this online study, who completed the Beliefs about Stress Scale, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale and demographic variables between September and October 2020. Results indicate that 48.8% (N = 388) of nurses reported significant post-traumatic growth related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, control beliefs about stress were positively related to post-traumatic growth (r = 0.38, p < 0.001), basic psychological needs satisfaction (r = 0.44, p < 0.001) and optimism (r = 0.47, p < 0.001). In addition, basic psychological needs satisfaction and optimism were both independent and serial mediators of the relationship between control beliefs about stress and post-traumatic growth. Nurses and hospital administrators should focus on increasing nurses' control beliefs about stress and thereby enhancing their post-traumatic growth after experiencing events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To support this process, programs should be designed to meet nurses' basic psychological needs and increase their optimism.
本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 大流行期间中国护士的压力控制信念与创伤后成长之间的关系，并检验基本心理需求满足感和乐观感在这种关系中的中介作用。共有 692 名中国护士参与了这项在线研究，他们于 2020 年 9 月至 10 月期间完成了压力信念量表、创伤后成长量表、积极心理资本问卷、基本心理需求满足量表和人口统计学变量。结果表明，48.8%（n=388）的护士报告了与 COVID-19 大流行相关的显著创伤后成长。此外，压力控制信念与创伤后成长呈正相关（r=0.38，p<0.001），与基本心理需求满足（r=0.44，p<0.001）和乐观（r=0.47，p<0.001）也呈正相关。此外，基本心理需求满足和乐观感都是压力控制信念与创伤后成长之间关系的独立和连续的中介因素。护士和医院管理人员应注重提高护士对压力的控制信念，从而增强他们在经历 COVID-19 等事件后的创伤后成长。为了支持这一过程，应设计方案来满足护士的基本心理需求并增强他们的乐观感。
