Abstract

BACKGROUND

While strength use has been shown to foster post-traumatic growth, few studies have examined whether it also influences outcomes such as job satisfaction, work thriving, and positive mental health. Addressing this gap is essential for improving the well-being of healthcare workers under ongoing stress.

AIM

This study aimed to explore the relationships between strength use, post-traumatic growth, and well-being among nurses, specifically investigating how strength use influences key well-being outcomes such as positive mental health, job satisfaction, and thriving at work. Additionally, the study examined whether post-traumatic growth mediates these relationships.

SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: 1,523 registered nurses from a tertiary hospital in Henan Province, China, who participated in frontline COVID-19 efforts.

METHODS

Data were collected using validated scales to measure strength use, post-traumatic growth, positive mental health, job satisfaction, and thriving at work. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships among these variables, with bootstrapping methods employed to test the mediation effects.

RESULTS

The findings demonstrated that strength use is positively associated with job satisfaction (r = 0.48, p < 0.001), positive mental health (r = 0.49, p < 0.001), and thriving at work (r = 0.48, p < 0.001). Additionally, post-traumatic growth was found to mediate the relationship between strength use and these well-being outcomes, with indirect effects observed for job satisfaction(β = 0.19, 95% CI [0.157, 0.225]), thriving at work (β = 0.19, 95% CI [0.161, 0.227]), and positive mental health(β = 0.17, 95% CI [0.140, 0.208]).

CONCLUSION

This study underscores the critical role of strength use and post-traumatic growth in promoting well-being among nurses. By illustrating how leveraging personal strengths can foster resilience and psychological growth in high-stress environments, the findings provide valuable insights for developing strengths-based interventions aimed at enhancing well-being in demanding professional contexts like nursing.

摘要

背景

虽然已证明发挥个人优势能促进创伤后成长，但很少有研究探讨其是否也会影响工作满意度、工作活力和积极心理健康等结果。填补这一空白对于改善处于持续压力下的医护人员的幸福感至关重要。

目的

本研究旨在探讨护士发挥个人优势、创伤后成长与幸福感之间的关系，具体研究发挥个人优势如何影响积极心理健康、工作满意度和工作活力等关键幸福感结果。此外，该研究还考察了创伤后成长是否在这些关系中起中介作用。

设置/参与者：来自中国河南省一家三级医院的1523名注册护士，他们参与了新冠肺炎疫情防控一线工作。

方法

使用经过验证的量表收集数据，以测量发挥个人优势、创伤后成长、积极心理健康、工作满意度和工作活力。采用结构方程模型分析这些变量之间的关系，并采用自抽样法检验中介效应。

结果

研究结果表明，发挥个人优势与工作满意度（r = 0.48，p < 0.001）、积极心理健康（r = 0.49，p < 0.001）和工作活力（r = 0.48，p < 0.001）呈正相关。此外，发现创伤后成长在发挥个人优势与这些幸福感结果之间起中介作用，工作满意度的间接效应为（β = 0.19，95%CI [0.157, 0.225]），工作活力的间接效应为（β = 0.19，95%CI [0.161, 0.227]），积极心理健康的间接效应为（β = 0.17，95%CI [0.140, 0.208]）。
