国外工作的中国护士与工作有关紧张的研究

目的 评价在国外工作的中国护士与工作有关紧张及其与工作满意程度（JS）、社会支持（SS）的关系。方法 采用调查表的方法对在国外工作的111名中国护士进行了调查，并与124名国外护士的调查结果进行比较。结果 在国外工作的中国护士其紧张程度（SAS）较国外护士高，差异有显著性（P＜0．05）。几乎所有在国外工作的紧张因子（除工作负担外）均与SAS存在显著的正相关关系（P均＜0．01）。JS及SS与SAS存在着负相关关系（r＝0－0．472和r＝－0．232，P＜0．05）。SS与JS之间存在着正相关关系（r＝－0．212，P＜0．05）。结论 本次调查结果支持护士职业的性质是紧张的这一结论。在国外工作的中国护士较国外护士更为紧张。所有的紧张因子均和与工作有关紧张及对工作不满意有关系；社会支持在是紧张因子和与工作有关紧张的关系中起重要作用。

Methods Using questionnaire method to investigate 111 Chinese nurses working in abroad and compare the results with those of 124 foreign nurses. Results The stress assessment score(SAS) of Chinese nurses was significantly higher than that of foreign nurses( P < 0.05). All the stressors(except for work load) of Chinese nurses worked in abroad were significantly correlated with SAS(all P <0.01).There were significant negative correlations between JS or SS and SAS( r =-0.472 and r =-0.232 respectively, P <0.05).There were significantly positive correlation between SS and JS( r =0.212, P <0.05). Conclusion The results support the conclusion that nursing by its nature was a stressful occupation.The stress level of Chinese nurses working in abroad was significantly higher than that of foreign nurses.All the stressors contribute to the work related stress and job dissatisfaction.SS plays an important role in the stressor stress relationship.
