Abstract:

Objective　To study the social support status and working pressure of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, to explore the correlation between them, and to provide references for reducing the work stress of ICU nurses. Methods　In December 2021, 94 ICU nurses from Second Hospital, Fujian Medical University, including the nurses from ICU, pediatric ICU, and RICU, were randomly selected for the investigation by the work stress source scale and social support rating scale. A total of 94 questionnaires were distributed to the nurses, and 85 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 3 males and 82 females who were 22-42 years old. The results of the scales were analyzed in conjunction with the nurses' general information. t test was applied. Results　The total score of social support for the 85 nurses was (38.85±7.08), and was at a moderate level. The nurses in pediatric ICU (43.52±6.47), with more nursing years (43.85±5.55), with higher positions (42.56±6.17), and who were married (43.52±6.52) had higher levels of social support, with statistical differences between the groups (F=6.36, 6.23, 4.07, and -5.49; all P<0.05). The average score of ICU nurses' stressors was 2.434, and was at a moderate level. The highest score for nursing professional and work related issues was (2.56±0.57). The nurses with higher positions and on the regular payroll had higher pressure from time allocation and workload issues [(2.89±0.86) and (2.82±0.62)], while those with more nursing years, higher positions, and who were married and on the regular payroll had higher pressure from work environment and equipment issues [(2.93±0.86), (3.00±0.85), (2.48±0.80), and (2.61±0.79)]. Social support was negatively correlated with ICU nursing majors and work related issues (r=-0.192, P<0.05), and positively with work environment and equipment issues (r=0.353, P<0.05). Conclusions　Social support can alleviate the work pressure of ICU nurses, but currently there is less social support for ICU nurses with fewer nursing years, low positions, and unmarried status. In the context of increasing social support, it is necessary to improve the working environment of ICU nurses, reasonably allocate the equipment and nursing management of various ICU nurses, and reduce work pressure.
