“…Furthermore, by better understanding emotional labor in nurses, nursing organizations can develop more-effective strategies to reduce job stress, increase job satisfaction, and reduce turnover intention. The Chinese version of the Emotional Labour Scale originally developed by Hong and Kim (2019) has also recently been developed and tested for validation (Ying et al, 2020). The data obtained using this scale may be useful in developing human resources strategies and management policies for nurses.…”

BackgroundThe measurement invariance and latent mean differences in emotional labor across different hospital and monthly salary levels among registered nurses have never been confirmed for the Emotional Labour Scale. These issues may influence the application and efficacy of this scale in practice.PurposeThis study was developed to evaluate the factor structure of the nurses' Emotional Labour Scale and to examine the measurement invariance and latent mean differences for this scale across different hospital and monthly salary levels.MethodsData were collected from 461 registered nurses working in four general hospitals and 12 long-term care hospitals. Confirmatory factor analysis and a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were performed to determine the internal structure and measurement invariance of the Emotional Labour Scale.ResultsThe results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicate that the factor structure model proposed by the original scale fits well with our data as well as configural invariance, factor loading invariance, intercept invariance, and uniqueness invariance. Moreover, factor variance/covariance invariance across two hospital levels as well as configural invariance, factor loading invariance, and intercept invariance across two monthly salary levels were supported. The mean score for emotional control effort in the profession of general hospital nurses was lower than that for long-term care hospital nurses. No statistically significant latent mean differences were found across monthly salary levels.Conclusions/Implications for PracticeThe findings show the Emotional Labour Scale to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing registered nurses and also comparing the mean score for emotional labor across hospital and monthly salary levels to be feasible. The scale may contribute to the development of human resource strategies.

“…Content validity indices, such as the I‐CVI (0.89 ~ 1.00), indicating that the experts agreed that most items were relevant and appropriate to assess the objectives of the Chinese version of the Stressor Scale for Emergency Nurses. For criterion validity, the results of Pearson's correlation test showed that the Chinese version of the Stressor Scale for Emergency Nurses for nurses was significantly correlated with the NBS ( r = 0.456, p < 0.001), but the correlation was moderate by general standards (Yao et al, 2020 ). When it comes to reliability, Cronbach α coefficient of the the Chinese version of the Stressor Scale for Emergency Nurses total table was 0.971, slightly better than those of the original version.…”

Chinese version of the stressor scale for emergency nurse: A methodological study design

et al. 2022

Aim The aim of this study was to modify and test the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the stressor scale for emergency nurses. Design The methodological design was carried out in two phases: (a) form the Chinese version by Delphi method and (b) test the psychometric properties by cross‐sectional survey. Methods The translated scale was administered to 420 nurses in Qingdao. Validity was assessed in terms of content validity, calibration correlation validity and construct validity using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach α coefficients. Results The Chinese version of the SSEN retains 27 items, four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the factor cumulative variance contribution rate was 78.463%. The fitting indexes of the four‐factor model of CFA were all in the acceptable range[χ2 = 711.30, df = 312, p < 0.001, χ2/df = 2.280, CFI = 0.933, TLI = 0.924, IFI = 0.933, RMSEA = 0.079 (90% confidence interval = 0.071–0.086)].The item‐level content validity index of the Chinese SSEN is 0.89 ~ 1.00; the scale‐level content validity index is 0.98; the Cronbach α coefficient of the total table is 0.971 and the split‐half reliability is 0.877. Patient or Public Contribution The C‐SSEN can be used to help nursing managers accurately formulate management measures to improve the stress coping ability of nurses in the ED, stabilize the nursing team and ensure nursing safety.

“…Nurses’ emotional labor was measured using the Emotional Labor Scale for Nurses, which was developed by Hong J et al [ 28 ]. The scale has been translated and validated among Chinese nurses by Ying Y [ 29 ]. This scale includes three dimensions, namely “emotional control effort in profession” (7 items, e.g., “I try to be kind to patients genuinely from my heart”), “patient-focused emotional suppression” (5 items, e.g., “I suppress my anger when patients’ words and behaviors are unfair”), and “emotional pretense by norms” (4 items, e.g., “I exaggerate expressions of interest in patients”).…”

Relationship between perceived organizational support and professional values of nurses: mediating effect of emotional labor

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objectives Perceived organizational support was a benefit for the work performance of nurses, which may affect emotional labor and the development of professional values. This study aimed to explore the relationship between nurses’ perceived organizational support and professional values, and investigate the mediating role of emotional labor. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in 3 tertiary hospitals in Wuhan from October 2020 to January 2021. The data were collected by a questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics, the Emotional Labor Scale for Nurses, the nurses’ Perceived Organizational Support Scale, and the Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS-R). A convenience sample of 1017 nurses responded to the questionnaire survey. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to test the relationship between variables. Predictor effects were tested using hierarchical multiple regressions. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the mediation effect of emotional labor on the pathway from perceived organizational support to professional values. Results A positive moderate correlation was observed between the perceived organizational support and emotional labor (r = 0.524, P < 0.01), and a positive strong correlation was observed between perceived organizational support and professional values (r = 0.609, P < 0.01). Emotional labor and perceived organizational support were positive predictors of professional values (B = 0.531, 95%CI = 0.414 ~ 0.649; B = 0.808, 95%CI = 0.715 ~ 0.901, respectively). The association between perceived organizational support and professional values was mediated by emotional labor. Conclusions Results showed that perceived organizational support was positively related to nurses’ emotional labor, which was in turn associated with high professional values. For nurses, improving organizational support and training nurses to engage in emotional labor through providing multiple support systems, establishing appropriate incentive mechanisms, and training nurses to regulate emotions can be effective ways to promote nurses’ professional values.
