Investigation On The Status Quo And Relationship Between Job Competence,Psychological Capital And Work Engagement Of Psychiatric Nurses

Objectives:This research is to investigate and understand the status quo of psychiatric nurses’job competence,psychological capital and work engagement and the influence of demographic variables on the above variables;to explore the correlation between psychiatric nurses’job competence,psychological capital and work engagement;analysis;The predictive effect of job competence and psychological capital of psychiatric nurses on work engagement,and explore the mediating role of psychological capital between job competence and work engagement,and propose measures to improve job competence,psychological capital and work engagement of psychiatric nurses.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method,from November 2019 to January 2020,we selected 367 psychiatric nurses from the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals of Kunming Medical University,Yunnan Mental Health Center,and Kunming Mental Hospital that met the criteria for inclusion and exclusion.It conducts questionnaire surveys,including general demographic questionnaires,nurse job competency questionnaires,psychological capital questionnaires,and job engagement questionnaires,which investigate the general demographic characteristics,job competence,psychological capital,and job input of psychiatric nurses..After the questionnaires were collected,coded screening was performed,and invalid questionnaires with more than 10%missing items or obvious answering patterns were eliminated,and data entry was performed using Epidata3.0 software,and data analysis was performed using SPSS22.0 software.Psychiatric nurses’ general demographic variables,job competency,psychological capital,and job input are described by means,standard deviations,and percentages.The independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance are used to compare different demographic variables of psychiatric nurses.Differences with job competence,psychological capital,and job input;Pearson correlation analysis is used to analyze the correlation between job competence,psychological capital,and job input of psychiatric nurses;the total job input is divided into dependent variables,and demographics are used.Variables,job competence,and psychological capital scores are used as independent variables to perform multi-layered linear regression analysis;the total work input is divided into dependent variables,general demographic variables are used as control variables,and each dimension of job competence is used as independent variables.Taking various dimensions of psychological capital as mediating variables,using the process plug-in in SPSS to analyze the mediating role of psychological capital in job competence and job input.Results:A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed in this survey,and 383 were successfully recovered,with a recovery rate of 96%.After excluding invalid questionnaires,there were a total of 367 valid questionnaires with an effective rate of 96%.The specific results are as follows:1.The average total score of psychiatric nurses’ competency characteristics is 273.32±28.54,and the item average is 3.22±0.34.The scores of each dimension are ranked from high to low as empathy(3.76±0.58),self-confidence(3.73±0.57),and moral responsibility(3.60±0.56),interpersonal coordination(3.58±0.56),emotional stability(3.52±0.51),initiative(3.41±0.49),organization management(3.35±0.63),role awareness(3.35±0.76),adaptability(3.13± 0.46),thirst for knowledge(3.02±0.47),ethics(3.02±0.44),desire for achievement(3.01±0.48),problem solving(2.36±0.69),analytical judgment(2.13±0.67),gender,nature of ward，age,Working years,marital status,job title,the difference is statistically significant(P<0.05).2.The total score of mental capital of psychiatric nurses is 86.78±13.30,and the average value of items is 4.32±0.77.The order of the scores of each dimension from high to low is self-efficacy(4.40±0.78),optimism(4.32±1.10),resilience(4.30±0.87),and hope(4.25±0.84).There are differences in the nature of the ward,age,length of service,marital status，initial education,and professional title,and the difference is statistically significant(P<0.05).3.The average total score of psychiatric nurses’ work engagement is 31.13±8.94,and the average score of each item is 3.46±1.00.The scores of each dimension item from high to low are vitality(3.61±0.97),dedication(3.50±1.06),and concentration(3.28).±1.21),there are differences in the nature of the ward,length of service,marital status,and professional title,and the difference is statistically significant(P<0.05).4.There is a correlation between psychiatric nurses’ job competency,psychological capital,and work engagement(r=0.461,r=0.664,r=0.568).The higher the job competency,the higher the job input and the higher the psychological capital.,The higher the work input,and at the same time,the job competence also positively affects the psychological capital.5.The job competence of psychiatric nurses significantly positively predicts their psychological capital(t=10.39,P<0.01).At the same time,the job competence of psychiatric nurses significantly positively predicts their work engagement(t=16.30,P<0.01).Psychological capital also significantly positively predicts work input(t=8.78,P<0.01).In addition,the direct effect of job competence on work input and the mediation effect of psychological capital correspond to the upper and lower bounds of the 95%confidence interval of bootstrap that do not contain 0,indicating that job competence can not only directly predict work input,but also Predict work input through the intermediary effect of psychological capital.Its direct effect(1.43)and mediation effect(0.53)accounted for 73.06%and 29.94%of the total effect(1.95),respectively.Conclusions:1.The competency of psychiatric nurses is at the upper-middle level,with significant differences in gender,age,length of service,marital status,nature of the ward,and job title.2.The psychological capital of psychiatric nurses is at the upper-middle level,and there are significant differences in age,working age,marital status,initial education,nature of ward,and professional title.3.The work engagement of psychiatric nurses is at the upper-middle level,with significant differences in length of service,marital status,nature of the ward,and job title.4.There is a pairwise correlation between psychiatric nurses’ job competencies,psychological capital,and job input,and job competencies positively predict job input,and psychological capital also positively predicts job input,while job competency has a positive impact Psychological capital.5.The psychological capital of psychiatric nurses plays an intermediary role between job competence and job input.Job competency predicts job input positively through psychological capital.
