Abstract

Objective: Healthcare professionals are highly susceptible to adverse psychological outcomes amid the COVID-19 pandemic due to their job duties. As the largest part of the healthcare workforce, growing attention has been paid to nurses' adjustments to the pandemic. Despite the distress, recent studies found that nurses could still experience positive changes (i.e., adversarial growth, AG) during the pandemic. Research on the general populations has indicated that individuals' stress responses, coping resources, and coping strategies are associated with their AG during the pandemic. This study examined how sociodemographic characteristics, secondary traumatic and posttraumatic stress, coping resources, and coping strategies were associated with AG among nurses in Hong Kong amid the fifth wave (i.e., the most disastrous wave) of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: Recruited through local nursing associations between May 24 and June 13, 2022, 209 nurses in Hong Kong completed an online questionnaire measuring the abovementioned variables.

Results: Hierarchical regression results found that those affiliating with a religion, having participated in mental health-related workshops, higher levels of secondary traumatic stress (STS), social support, job satisfaction, plus more frequent emotional processing were associated with higher AG (βs ranging from 0.15 to 0.31, ps < .01).

Conclusions: Nurses did report AG during the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong. To promote AG among those nurses, future interventions should enhance nurses' understanding about the potential impact of STS on their well-being, solicit their interpersonal and work-related coping resources, plus facilitate their use of effective coping strategies.

"暴风雨后的曙光COVID-19第五波大流行中香港护士逆境成长的心理社会相关因素。
目的:在 COVID-19 大流行期间,医护人员因其工作职责而极易受到不良心理影响。作为医护人员中最大的一部分,人们越来越关注护士对大流行病的适应情况。最近的研究发现,尽管护士们感到痛苦,但他们在大流行病期间仍能经历积极的变化(即逆境成长、AG)。对普通人群的研究表明,个人的压力反应、应对资源和应对策略与大流行期间的 AG 相关。本研究探讨了在 COVID-19 大流行的第五波(即最灾难性的一波)中,香港护士的社会人口特征、二次创伤和创伤后压力、应对资源和应对策略与 AG 的关系:方法:2022 年 5 月 24 日至 6 月 13 日期间,通过本地护理协会招募了 209 名香港护士,他们填写了一份在线问卷,测量了上述变量:分层回归结果发现,有宗教信仰、参加过心理健康相关工作坊、二次创伤压力(STS)水平较高、社会支持、工作满意度以及情绪处理频率较高的护士与较高的AG相关(β值介于0.15至0.31之间,PS < .01):结论:在 COVID-19 在香港的第五次流行期间,护士确实报告了 AG。为促进这些护士的AG,未来的干预措施应加强护士对STS对其福祉的潜在影响的了解,寻求其人际关系和工作相关的应对资源,并促进其使用有效的应对策略。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
