Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Healthcare Management
Occupational Stress

Background:

Nurses form the primary hospital workforce, facing intense job demands and pressures.
Effective stress identification and coping are crucial for nurse performance and hospital service quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify the key determinants influencing nurses' stress-coping capabilities.
To understand factors affecting nurse job performance and retention.

Main Methods:

A modified Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed.
Data collected from 105 nurses and 10 expert practitioners in southern Taiwan.
Model validated with six nurses from two regional hospitals.

Main Results:

Family factors emerged as the most significant determinant of nurse stress-coping ability.
Personal attributes were the second most important factor.
Key sub-criteria identified: children's education, career planning, and healthy family dynamics.

Conclusions:

Integrate identified determinants into human resource management and hospital organizational structures.
Develop employee support systems and foster a family-friendly work environment.
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is effective in identifying factors crucial for nursing team stability.
