摘要
本研究调查了加纳西部地区天主教保健服务的护士和助产士为减轻职业压力的影响而采取的应对策略类型。该研究还调查了护士和助产士的职业压力与应对策略之间的关系。本研究采用定量研究方法。具体来说,本研究采用了描述性横断面调查。该研究的样本量为300人。问卷采用Tobin, Holroyd, Reynolds, and Wigal开发的应对策略量表。使用了清单的简写形式。统计方面,采用单样本Kolmogorov-Smirnov检验、均值和标准差、Pearson矩相关系数对收集到的数据进行分析。研究结果显示,西区天主教卫生服务的护士和助产士在减轻职业压力的影响时,同时采用情绪关注和问题关注两种应对策略,但以问题关注为主。研究结果还显示,职业压力与加纳西部地区天主教卫生服务护士和助产士的应对策略之间存在微弱的正相关关系。该研究建议,护士和助产士应接受适当的应对策略培训,以应对职业压力。还建议对护士和助产士进行压力管理战略方面的培训。
Coping Strategies Adopted by Nurses and Midwives to Mitigate the Impact of Occupational Stress in the Catholic Health Service of the Western Region of Ghana
This study investigated the type of coping strategies nurses and midwives in the Catholic Health Service of the Western Region of Ghana adopted to mitigate the effects of occupational stress. The study also looked at the association between occupational stress and coping strategies among nurses and midwives. A quantitative research approach was adopted for the study. Specifically, the study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey. A sample size of 300 was used for the study. A questionnaire based on the Coping Strategies Inventory developed by Tobin, Holroyd, Reynolds, and Wigal was adopted. The short form of the inventory was used. For statistical purposes, One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, mean and standard deviation, and Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficients were employed to analyze the data gathered. The results of the study revealed that nurses and midwives in the Catholic Health Service of the Western Region adopted both emotion-focused and problem-focused coping strategies but predominantly problem-focused coping strategies to mitigate the effects of occupational stress. The study’s results also revealed that occupational stress has a weak positive significant relationship with coping strategies between nurses and midwives in the Catholic Health Service of the Western Region of Ghana. The study recommended that nurses and midwives be trained on the appropriate types of coping strategies to deal with occupational stress. It was also recommended that nurses and midwives be trained on stress management strategies.
