Stress is inevitable in the nursing profession, and ways of coping are one of the solutions to reduce stress. Social support is one of the influencing factors on coping strategies, but there is probably a difference between the effects of received or perceived social support on coping strategies.
The aim was to investigate the relationship between received and perceived social support with ways of coping in nurses.
This is a cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study. The sample consisted of 292 nurses by simple random sampling. The data collection tool included Zimmet's multidimensional perceived social support scale, McCain and Marklin's perceived social support questionnaire, and Lazarus' ways of coping questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression tests in SPSS v.22.
The results showed that received social support (β= 0.20, p < 0.001) and perceived social support (β= 0.35, p < 0.001) are able to explain changes in the dimension of seeking social support. Received social support (β= 0.16, p = 0.005) and perceived social support (β= 0.22, p < 0.001) are able to explain changes after positive reappraisal, but only received social support could explain changes in accepting responsibility (β= 0.15, p = 0.01).
This study showed that received and perceived social support have a significant correlation with ways of coping, but only able to explain the changes in social support seeking dimensions, positive reappraisal, accepting responsibility. Both types of social support are necessary, but that received social support covered more adaptive coping strategies.
压力是护理职业中不可避免的，应对方式是减轻压力的方法之一。社会支持是应对策略的影响因素之一，但接受的或感知到的社会支持对应对策略的影响可能存在差异。
旨在调查护士接受的和感知到的社会支持与应对方式之间的关系。
这是一项横断面描述性相关性研究。采用简单随机抽样法，样本由 292 名护士组成。数据收集工具包括 Zimmet 的多维感知社会支持量表、McCain 和 Marklin 的感知社会支持问卷以及 Lazarus 的应对方式问卷。使用 SPSS v.22 中的 Pearson 相关和多元回归检验对数据进行分析。
结果表明，接受的社会支持（β=0.20，p<0.001）和感知的社会支持（β=0.35，p<0.001）能够解释寻求社会支持维度的变化。接受的社会支持（β=0.16，p=0.005）和感知的社会支持（β=0.22，p<0.001）能够解释积极重新评价后的变化，但只有接受的社会支持能够解释承担责任的变化（β=0.15，p=0.01）。
本研究表明，接受的和感知到的社会支持与应对方式显著相关，但只能解释寻求社会支持维度、积极重新评价和承担责任的变化。这两种类型的社会支持都是必要的，但接受的社会支持涵盖了更多的适应性应对策略。
