“…A study has shown that nurses’ SOC levels can increase with increasing cognitive behaviour [ 65 ]. Therefore, nursing managers can adopt cognitive behavioural interventions based on psychological rewards to improve nurses’ SOC to mitigate the negative impact of workplace violence [ 66 ]. In addition, SOC is an internal motivating factor for the development of individual mental health and a lasting and stable internal force.…”

Background Workplace violence has always been a critical issue worldwide before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, which can lead to burnout and turnover. In addition, the burnout and mental stress of nurses during the COVID-19 period have been widely described. To our knowledge, no studies have examined the mediating effect of the sense of coherence on the relationship between workplace violence and burnout among Chinese nurses over time. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between workplace violence and burnout among Chinese nurses and how the sense of coherence mediates the association. Methods Using a convenience sampling method, 1190 nurses from 4 tertiary grade-A comprehensive hospitals were investigated between September 2021 and December 2021 in 3 provinces of China. The Workplace Violence Scale, Burnout Inventory, and Sense of Coherence scale were used to collect data. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis to estimate direct and indirect effects using bootstrap analysis. Results The mean total scores for workplace violence and burnout were 1.67 ± 1.08 and 47.36 ± 18.39, respectively. Workplace violence was significantly negatively correlated with the sense of coherence (r = -0.25) and positively correlated with burnout (r = 0.27). Additionally, a higher level of workplace violence was associated with higher burnout (β = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.68 ~ 1.56). A higher sense of coherence was also associated with lower burnout (β = -0.98, 95% CI: -1.03 ~ -0.92). Workplace violence showed an effect on burnout through a sense of coherence. The direct, indirect and total effects were 1.13, 1.88 and 3.01, respectively. The mediating effect of the sense of coherence accounted for 62.45% of the relationship between workplace violence and burnout. Conclusion We found that the sense of coherence mediated most workplace violence on burnout. It is imperative for hospital managers to improve nurses’ sense of coherence to reduce the occurrence of burnout during COVID-19. Future intervention studies should be designed to strengthen nurses’ sense of coherence.

“…First, since most employees in elderly care facilities are caregivers and much of their working time is allocated to patient care, working time for direct verbal communication among caregivers may be limited. Therefore, introducing methods of communicating PF in writing may be effective, such as the “Like!” seal 45 ) . Second, the perceptions of PF, NF, and TS might differ between supervisors and subordinates.…”

The relationship between performance feedback from supervisors and subordinates’ work engagement among employees in elderly care facilities: structural equation modeling

Despite the increasing need for nursing care services, the turnover rate of care workers is high in Japan. Since the most common reason for quitting nursing care jobs was problems with interpersonal relationships at work, creating psychosocially safe working environments is urgent. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of trust in supervisors (TS) on the association between positive feedback (PF)/negative feedback (NF) and work engagement (WE) based on the job demands-resources theory and conservation of resources theory. We conducted anonymous cross-sectional surveys of 469 employees at elderly care facilities in Japan. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the causal relationships between the variables. The results showed that PF had significant positive effects on WE, directly and indirectly through TS. By contrast, NF had a nonsignificant positive effect on TS or WE. Tucker-Lewis Index [TLI] was 0.917, Comparative Fit Index [CFI] was 0.927, Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation [RMSEA] was 0.096, and Standardized Root Mean squared Residual [SRMR] was 0.042. The study results indicate that sufficient PF is needed to improve subordinates' WE through TS in elderly care facilities.

“…This approach uses thank you cards to express one's gratitude toward other staff members and okay-cards to mutually acknowledge the strength of each staff member in order to strengthen ties among staff, and to develop a pleasant working environment. One study on nurses found that this participatory approach reduced their stress response [23]. These mutual appreciations or acknowledgements during work may enhance the self-efficacy and self-esteem of each individual, and the positive emotions arising out of these interactions may facilitate conversation during break time.…”

Advantages of the Variable Shift System, and Effective Use of Break Time to Better Support the Work Engagement of Nurses on Extended Day Shifts

The aim of this study is to clarify factors that support the work engagement of nurses, who bear the burden of extended day shifts, by focusing on the advantages of the variable shift system and workday break activities. Methods: Nurses who were working under a variable shift system were asked to complete a self-report questionnaire to examine the workload, work engagement, work stressors, stress-coping strategies, and stress-coping break time activities, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the variable shift system. Nine break activities were classified into the following four categories: social activities, rest/relaxation, entertainment, and cognitive activities. The advantages or disadvantages of the variable shift system were scored by developing composite variables using principal component analysis. These variables were used to perform a multiple regression analysis with work engagement as the dependent variable. Results: The advantage score was the variable most strongly correlated with work engagement. In contrast, "Quantitative workload" was negatively correlated with work engagement. Among break activities, in the social activities category correlations were observed in "Both conversation and Email/SNS" and "Conversation only". Although in fact most nurses chose conversation as one of the break options, more than half of the nurses selected rest/relaxation as their ideal break activity. Conclusion: Our study suggested that the variable shift system supported the work engagement of nurses who worked extended day shifts. The results also suggested that it would be useful to arrange the employee lounge environment so that employees could freely choose between "conversation" or "taking a rest" depending on the circumstances.
