Relationship of transition shock, adversity quotient, and work engagement: A structural equation modeling approach
1School of Nursing, Shandong First Medical University & Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, Tai'an, Shandong, China.
Aims:
This study aimed to explore the relationship between work engagement, transition shock, and adversity quotient of nursing students during the internship, and whether the adversity quotient of nursing interns is a moderating factor.
Background:
The work engagement level of nursing students during internship affects their nursing quality and predicts their turnover intention. It has been demonstrated that transition shock and adversity quotient (AQ) are factors of work engagement; nonetheless, the deeper causes remain obscure.
Methods:
A cross-sectional investigation was done via the help of convenient sampling among nursing interns at Shandong Hospitals in China in January 2024 (n = 1024). The Adversity Response Profile Scale (ARP), Clinical Practicum Transition Shock Scale (CPT-Shock), and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) are among the questionnaires. AMOS 28.0 was used to construct latent variable interaction models to determine the relationship between work engagement, transition shock, and adversity quotient, the change-in-estimate (CIE) method was used to identify covariates in the moderate effect.
Results:
Nursing interns' work engagement exhibited a positive correlation with the adversity quotient and a negative correlation with transition shock. The association between nursing interns' work engagement and transition shock is moderated by the adversity quotient. Nursing interns' work engagement is significantly predicted by their age, educational background, preference for the nursing profession, satisfaction with nursing teachers, and total internship time.
Conclusion:
To increase nursing interns' degree of work engagement, clinical nursing teachers should recognize the negative psychological experiences that nursing interns have during this transitional period as soon as feasible and implement appropriate training strategies to help them become more adept at handling frustration.
Tablet Abstract:
A cross-sectional study to help improve the work engagement of nursing interns.
