Resilience in nurses in terms of perceived social support, job satisfaction and certain variables.
Journal of Nursing Management 2018 September 14
AIM: This study investigated the resilience of nurses, the factors that contribute to resilience, and its relationship with perceptions of social support and job satisfaction.
BACKGROUND: Resilience plays an important role in how nurses cope with work-related stressors.
METHODS: A descriptive study was conducted with 242 nurses working at three public hospitals in Turkey. Data were collected using a descriptive data form, the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MJSS).
RESULTS: Nurses' mean scores on the RSA, MSPSS, and MJSS were 99.80 ± 4.43, 66.66 ± 13.30, and 3.31 ± 0.72, respectively. Statistically significant relationships were detected between resilience and five factors: age, gender, mother's educational level, work experience and working hours (p < 0.05). A statistically significant positive correlation was also observed between MJSS score and both total RSA and family support subscale scores (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The resilience, perceived social support, and job satisfaction of participating nurses were moderate. Significant factors in their resilience were age, gender, mother's educational level, work experience, working hours, perceived social support and job satisfaction.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers can use the results to plan interventions that improve resilience among nurses.
