| Objective:Investigating into emotional intelligence and the present situation of anxiety and depression of clinical nurses; analyzing influencing factors of emotional intelligence and anxiety and depression; understanding the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety, depression. The research can provide a reference basis for managers to take measures to improve metal health of the nursing staff.Methods:1Research objects and methods:this study uses stratified cluster sampling method and selects550clinical nurses in three tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou as objects, carrying on the questionnaire survey on April1,2012～October30,2012.2Survey Instrument:the questionnaires include general information questionnaire, Emotional Quotient Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale.3The statistical method:Data is analyzed by SPSS17.0statistical software. Statistical methods include mean±standard deviation (x±s), independent sample t test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and Logistic regression analysis. Result:1Three tertiary hospitals clinical nurses’emotional intelligence average scores is (3.90±0.38) points, dividing four dimensions from high to low sequence in the order: self-management (4.13±0.49) points> use of emotional(3.97±0.45)>emotional management of others (3.90±0.45) points> emotional perception (3.74±0.44) points. Difference of Emotional Intelligence in different ages, nursing age, marital status, position, occupation, state of health, human relations, is statistically significant (P<0.05);the factors including single or not, different birth sources, different from the first degree, different last academic difference have little influence on Emotional Intelligence.2Three tertiary hospitals clinical nurse SAS scores and SDS scores are higher than the norm (P<0.01).26.14%of them have anxiety, and32.58%have depression, and18.94%have two emotions at the same time. SAS score in different age, nursing age, health status, position, whether the only difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). The one in different marital status, birth, title, source of differences in the first degree, the degree, the personnel relationship had no statistical significance; SDS score in different health status, title, position, whether the only difference is statistically significant (P<0.05), in the different age, nursing age, marital status, birth sources, differences in the first degree and finally degree, no statistical significance in human relations.3Clinical nurses in the four dimensions of emotional intelligence which were rated with SAS and SDS score is negatively correlated (P<0.01); SAS scores and SDS scores are positively correlated (r=0.698, P<0.01).4Logistic regression analysis, the influencing factors on clinical nurses’anxiety include titles, health status, mood and perception; the influencing factors on depression include whether one-child, health, emotional perception and emotion management of others.Conclusion:1The clinical nurses’emotional intelligence is in the upper level, of which the one gaining the highest score is emotional management, and the lowest one is emotion perception. 2Age, nursing age, marital status, job title, position, health and human relations of clinical nurses have influence on their emotional intelligence.3Clinical nurses’ emotional intelligence is negatively related to anxiety and depression. The higher clinical nurses have emotional intelligence scores, and the relatively lower level of anxiety and depression they have. Clinical nurse anxiety is associated with depression, namely that clinical nurse anxiety level is higher, and the relatively high level of depression.4Single-factor analysis of variance and regression analysis conclude that clinical nurses’ anxiety is influenced by title, affect health status and emotional perception; the depression is effected by whether the only child, health status, emotional perception and emotional management. |
