Abstract

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the impact of work stressors on ICU nurses' emotional support in Beijing.Methods　A nursing missed scale, and a nursing stressors scale were used to survey 350 ICU nurses from three tertiary general hospitals in Beijing. Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple linear regression were performed to analyze the association between work stress and missed emotional support nursing. Results　The score of missed emotional support nursing was 1.97±0.10. Significant differences in missed emotional support nursing were found among ICU nurses with different educational levels and professional titles (F=3.937 and 9.891, both P<0.05). The total work stress score was 92.59±15.92. Work stress was weakly and positively correlated with missed emotional support nursing (r=0.208, P<0.05). Hierarchical multiple linear regression showed that excessive non-nursing work was an independent influencing factor for missed emotional support nursing among ICU nurses (t=2.331, P=0.020). Conclusion　Work stress is associated with missed emotional support nursing among ICU nurses, and excessive non-nursing work may increase the risk of missed emotional support nursing. Nursing managers should optimize workflows, reduce non-nursing tasks, and improve support systems to promote the implementation of emotional support nursing in ICU settings.
