The hospital is a workplace full of stressful events for healthcare workers (HCWs) due to unpredictable changes in their daily routines. Perceptions of stressful events (stress mindset) have a significant impact on an individual's health and well-being. However, few studies have reported the factors and potential counter mechanisms influencing these perceptions. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between empathy, self-disclosure, social support, and stress mindset of HCWs, and to explore the mechanism of empathy on stress mindset. Five hundred and eight HCWs (35.2% men and 64.8% women) completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), the Distress Disclosure Index (DDI), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Stress Mindset Measure (SMM), and demographic questionnaires online in China. The results showed that empathy was positively linked with stress mindset and positively correlated with self-disclosure and social support. In the multiple mediating model, self-disclosure and social support mediated the association between empathy and stress mindset sequentially. The results imply that empathy, self-disclosure, and social support play a significant role in the formation of HCWs' stress mindset. These findings have substantial ramifications for reducing stress and creating successful government interventions to fortify stress mindset in healthcare.
由于日常工作中不可预测的变化，医院对医护人员来说是一个充满压力事件的工作场所。对压力事件的认知（压力心态）对个人的健康和幸福有重大影响。然而，很少有研究报告影响这些认知的因素和潜在的应对机制。本研究旨在评估医护人员的同理心、自我表露、社会支持与压力心态之间的关系，并探讨同理心对压力心态的作用机制。在中国，508名医护人员（35.2%为男性，64.8%为女性）在线完成了人际反应指数（IRI）、苦恼表露指数（DDI）、社会支持评定量表（SSRS）、压力心态测量量表（SMM）以及人口统计学调查问卷。结果表明，同理心与压力心态呈正相关，与自我表露和社会支持呈正相关。在多重中介模型中，自我表露和社会支持依次中介了同理心与压力心态之间的关联。研究结果表明，同理心、自我表露和社会支持在医护人员压力心态的形成中发挥着重要作用。这些发现对于减轻压力以及制定成功的政府干预措施以强化医护人员的压力心态具有重大意义。
