Area of Science:

  • Nursing Workforce Stability
  • Surgical Nursing
  • Career Development

Background:

  • Career plateau negatively impacts nursing workforce stability, affecting performance, commitment, and turnover.
  • Surgical nurses are particularly vulnerable due to demanding work environments.
  • Limited evidence exists on career plateau in surgical nurses and related factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine career plateau in surgical nurses using Bandura's triadic reciprocal determinism.
  • Investigate relationships between career plateau and self-efficacy, family functioning, organizational support, and career planning.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study of 468 surgical nurses in China (September-November 2025).
  • Online survey data collection.
  • Dominance and psychometric network analyses were employed.

Main Results:

  • Career planning showed the strongest negative association with career plateau.
  • Affection was the most central node in the network analysis.
  • Hierarchical plateau negatively correlated with goal setting; content plateau with self-presentation. Organizational support positively correlated with plateau.

Conclusions:

  • Career planning is the most significant correlate of overall career plateau.
  • Affection plays a central role in the network structure of career plateau.
  • Addressing career plateau requires enhanced career planning and supportive family/organizational conditions.
