Emergency department nurses experience varying degrees of mental workload due to various factors. The group with medium to high levels of mental workload requires particular attention. There is limited research on the potential profiles of mental workload among emergency department nurses. The purpose of this study was to identify different potential profiles of mental workload among emergency department nurses and analyze the influencing factors.
A cross-sectional study.
This study followed the STROBE guidelines. The NASA-TLX scale was used to assess the mental workload of emergency department nurses, and latent profile analysis was employed to identify different potential profiles of their mental workload. Statistical methods, including Pearson's chi-square test and logistic regression analysis, were performed to identify factors affecting the mental workload of emergency department nurses.
A total of 305 emergency department nurses completed the survey, with the majority experiencing a moderate to severe mental workload. Mental workload was a complex and dynamic phenomenon influenced by many factors. The main factors affecting mental workload included age (year), marital status, monthly income (RMB), support style, coping style, and personality traits.
The study suggested that mental workload among emergency department nurses is widespread in China. Nursing managers should provide targeted interventions based on the mental workload profiles of emergency department nurses. It is also crucial to enhance support from family and friends for emergency department nurses in their professional endeavors. This support should facilitate the adoption of positive coping styles to effectively address challenges. Tailored interventions, based on individual personality traits, should be implemented to reduce mental workload and promote the growth of the emergency department nursing team.
由于各种因素，急诊科护士承受着不同程度的心理工作量。中等至高水平心理工作量的群体需要特别关注。关于急诊科护士心理工作量潜在特征的研究有限。本研究的目的是识别急诊科护士心理工作量的不同潜在特征，并分析影响因素。
横断面研究。
本研究遵循STROBE指南。采用美国国家航空航天局任务负荷指数量表评估急诊科护士的心理工作量，并采用潜在剖面分析来识别其心理工作量的不同潜在特征。运用包括Pearson卡方检验和逻辑回归分析在内的统计方法，以确定影响急诊科护士心理工作量的因素。
共有305名急诊科护士完成了调查，大多数人承受着中度至重度的心理工作量。心理工作量是一个受多种因素影响的复杂动态现象。影响心理工作量的主要因素包括年龄（岁）、婚姻状况、月收入（人民币）、支持方式、应对方式和人格特质。
该研究表明，中国急诊科护士的心理工作量普遍存在。护理管理者应根据急诊科护士的心理工作量特征提供有针对性的干预措施。增强家人和朋友对急诊科护士职业努力的支持也至关重要。这种支持应有助于采用积极的应对方式，有效应对挑战。应根据个人人格特质实施量身定制的干预措施，以减轻心理工作量，促进急诊科护理团队的成长。
