Nursing care is essential, but the role of junior male nurses in medical and health services is underestimated; thus, many junior male nurses leave the profession due to a lack of professional identity.
This study examined how the mediating effect of emotional intelligence and the moderating role of locomotion mode influence the relationship between empathy and professional identity among Chinese junior male nurses.
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among junior male nurses in China from December 2021 to May 2022. We asked participants from ten hospitals to complete a questionnaire regarding empathy, emotional intelligence, locomotion mode, and professional identity. Bootstrap and simple slope methods were used to test the moderated mediation model.
Emotional intelligence partly mediated the effects of perspective-taking on professional identity ( = 0.253, < 0.05). Furthermore, locomotion mode moderated the relationships between perspective-taking and emotional intelligence, perspective-taking and professional identity, and emotional intelligence and professional identity ( = 0.136, < 0.01; = 0.107, < 0.05; = -0.155, < 0.01).
The findings revealed that,the mediating effect of emotional intelligence on the relation between perspective-taking and professional adaptability was moderated by locomotion mode. Whereas. These findings are meaningful for early intervention and the improvement of professional identity among junior male nurses.
护理工作至关重要，但初级男护士在医疗卫生服务中的作用被低估；因此，许多初级男护士因缺乏职业认同感而离开该职业。
本研究探讨了情商的中介作用以及出行方式的调节作用如何影响中国初级男护士的同理心与职业认同感之间的关系。
本横断面描述性研究于2021年12月至2022年5月在中国的初级男护士中进行。我们要求来自十家医院的参与者完成一份关于同理心、情商、出行方式和职业认同感的问卷。采用Bootstrap和简单斜率方法检验调节中介模型。
情商部分中介了换位思考对职业认同感的影响（β = 0.253，p < 0.05）。此外，出行方式调节了换位思考与情商、换位思考与职业认同感以及情商与职业认同感之间的关系（β = 0.136，p < 0.01；β = 0.107，p < 0.05；β = -0.155，p < 0.01）。
研究结果表明，情商在换位思考与职业适应性之间关系的中介作用受到出行方式的调节。然而，这些发现对于初级男护士的早期干预和职业认同感的提升具有重要意义。
