Abstract
Objective: To understand the current situation of psychiatric nurses' psychological distress and analyse its influencing factors.
Methods From August to October 2022, 326 clinical nurses in three psychiatric hospitals in Henan Province were selected by convenience sampling method, and questionnaires were administered to them using the General Information Questionnaire, Psychological Distress Scale, Flexibility Scale Simplified, and Workplace Violence Frequency Scale. Statistical processing used SPSS 24.0.
Results 76.4% of the nurses had different degrees of psychological distress, and the total score of psychological distress was (23.35±9.19). Length of work, psychological resilience and workplace violence were the influencing factors of psychiatric nurses' psychological distress (P<0.05), which could explain 26.6% of the total variance.
Conclusion Psychiatric nurses have more serious psychological distress, and nursing managers should take active interventions to improve the level of psychological resilience of nursing staff and reduce workplace violence.
