“…The perspective of Conley et al (2022) regarding the positive influence of gratitude on nurse retention and resilience was adopted in this study. The participants were asked to respond to a set of surveys, including the TC-GAWS as well as the following: (a) demographic datasheet (covering participant age, gender, employment status, and educational and ward status), (b) GQ-6, (c) Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)-10, and (d) Thoughts of Quitting Scale (TQS).…”

“…Nurses who engage in grateful reflection or are positive about incivility from their patients, patient families, mentors, and even colleagues tend to have better mental health than those who do not (Hao et al, 2022; Macfarlane, 2020). Also, Conley et al (2022) suggest that gratitude thinking among newly employed nurses is associated with higher job retention.…”

Background The Gratitude at Work Scale, originally developed by American scholars, has been widely administered to mental health professionals and human service workers to explore gratitude in the workplace. No Chinese-language instrument is currently available for assessing workplace gratitude. Purposes The aims of this study were to (a) translate the original English version of the Gratitude at Work Scale into a traditional Chinese version (TC-GAWS), confirm its factor structure, and analyze its psychometric properties among newly employed nurses and (b) develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the TC-GAWS short form. Methods A psychometric study using a cross-sectional web-based design was conducted in Taiwan. Three hundred twenty-two employed nurses completed a battery of self-administered online questionnaires that included a demographic datasheet, the Gratitude Questionnaire–Six-Item Form, the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale-10, and the Thoughts of Quitting Scale. IBM SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 28.0 were used for data analysis, and Cronbach's alpha and Pearson's correlation were used to assess reliability and concurrent validity. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted. Results The internal consistency and stability of the TC-GAWS total scale were .88 and .91, respectively. The exploratory factor analysis showed a satisfactory Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin value of .88 and a Bartlett's test value of 654.01 (p < .001), suggesting that 64.55% of the total variance was explained by the two-factor TC-GAWS. After item reduction, the CFA of the six remaining items of the TC-GAWS short form revealed adequate fit statistics for a two-factor structure and a second-order factor. Strong correlations were found between the 10-item and six-item TC-GAWS (r > .94) in the two samples, suggesting good concurrent validity. The overall scores for the 10-item and six-item TC-GAWS had similar convergent validity, with moderate-to-strong correlations for the Gratitude Questionnaire–Six-Item Form (r = .45 and .540), Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (r = .49 and .51), and Thoughts of Quitting Scale (r = −.57 and −.53). The CFA yielded a two-factor, six-item model that exhibited good fit with the latent constructs of χ2/df = 11.06/8 = 1.38, p = .198, comparative fit index = .996, goodness-of-fit index = .979, root mean square error of approximation = .045, root mean square residual = .030, and standardized root mean squared residual = .023. Conclusions/Implications for Practice Both the 10- and six-item TC-GAWS instruments demonstrated good reliability and validity in nurse participants. The TC-GAWS may be used to measure gratitude in nurses in the workplace. This instrument has the potential to facilitate a better understanding of gratitude in nurses, which may be applied to the improvement of nursing management, research, and education.

“…Randolph ( 79 ) posited that expressing gratitude is essential for nurses to cope with the challenges of work and to enhance family relationships. Prior research has reported that gratitude increased happiness ( 80 ), resilience, job satisfaction, and a healthy work environment among nurses ( 81 ). Further, gratitude was claimed as beneficial at workplace.…”

BackgroundResearchers and practitioners are concerned with the impact of work-family conflict on the well-being of workers, including those in the health care sector, and previous research suggested that nurses were experiencing a range of negative outcomes.AimTo investigate the potentially mediating role of self-compassion and moderating role of gratitude in the relationships between work-family conflict and both life satisfaction and happiness among Saudi nurses.MethodA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 368 nurses (men age = 35.18, SD = 6.67, 70.65% of females). Nurses were recruited via social media using convenience sampling techniques. They completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Gratitude Questionnaire–6, the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Work-Family Conflict Scale, as well as a set of demographic questions. The data were analyzed using PROCESS MACRO model 4 and 8, and the reporting followed STROBE checklist.ResultsAs expected, the study found a negative relationship between work-family conflict and both life satisfaction and happiness. These relationships were mediated by self-compassion. For the relationships between work-family conflict and life satisfaction and happiness, and between family-work conflict and happiness, this mediation was moderated by gratitude.ConclusionThis study built on positive psychology and demonstrated that the positive personality traits of self-compassion and gratitude can engender enhanced life satisfaction and happiness among Saudi nurses.
