ABSTRACT
【
Objective:
】 To explore the correlation between
hospital ethics atmosphere and
work engagement of
nurses in
emergency department, and provide a basis for reasonably solving
ethical issues and improving
nurses’
work engagement. 【
Methods:
】 From May 2019 to May 2021, the convenient sampling
method was used to select 350
nurses from
emergency departments of four tertiary or above
hospitals in Xi’an as the
research subjects. The Ethical
Climate Cognitive Scale and the
Work Engagement Scale were used to evaluate the
hospital ethical
atmosphere and
work engagement of
nurse, and analyze their correlation. The univariate
factor analysis and multiple
factor analysis were used to explore the influencing factors. 【
Results:
】 The
work engagement score of
emergency department nurses was (51.69±11.09) points, and the ethical
atmosphere score was (72.78±11.45) points. The results of univariate
analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the
work engagement scores among
emergency department nurses with different educational backgrounds,
hospital grades,
hospital employment methods, and whether they had received
ethics training (P<0.05). The results of multiple
factor analysis indicated that the
cognition of
hospital ethical
atmosphere,
hospital employment methods, and whether they had received
ethics education and
training were all factors that affected
work engagement (P<0.05). 【
Conclusion:
】 The
hospital ethical
atmosphere is positively correlated with the
work engagement of
emergency department nurse. The ethical
atmosphere and
work engagement of
nurses are both at a moderate level, with significant room for improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the management support of
emergency nursing work and improve the perceived level of recognition and
respect among
emergency department nurses in the
organization.
