The Moderating Role Of Emotional Intelligence Among Challenge-Hindrance Stressors And Job Involvement In Nurse

Background In recent years,some studies have shown that work stress source is the source of work stress and can make individuals produce stress response.Some studies have explored the influencing factors of job involvement and found that emotional intelligence plays a certain role in job involvement.Other studies have investigated the effects of different stressors on individual job involvement,with some having positive effects and others having negative effects,with varying degrees of influence.However,it remains to be seen whether emotional intelligence can influence nurses' job involvement by regulating challenging and obstructive stressors.Therefore,it is very important to explore whether there is a regulating effect of emotional intelligence between nurses' challenge-obstructive stressors and job involvement,so as to provide empirical evidence for the intervention of improving the level of job involvement of clinical nurses.Objective The study is based on the stress response theory model,to investigate impact challenge-hindrance stressors of nurses and the level of emotional intelligence and job involvement,and factors of each dimension and explore nurses emotional intelligence between challenge-hindrance stressors and job involvement.In order to provide empirical evidence for improving the level of work involvement of clinical nurses in the future.Methods In the study,nurses were selected from the two 3 armour hospital in Anhui province from November 2018-July 2019.a convenience sampling from 260 nurses as the research object.General information such as gender,age,age,education,marital status,department,job title,duties,employment way,monthly income,night shift hours per week,overtime hours per week by general information questionnaire.the challenge-obstructive Scale,emotional intelligence Scale(WLEIS),job involvement Scale(Utreeht Work Engagement Scale,UWES)to measure the nurse's challenge-hindrance stressors level,emotional intelligence level,and job involvement.Data were recorded with Epidata3.1 software,and SPSS23.0 software was used for statistical description,single factor analysis,regression analysis and adjustment effect test.Results(1)In this study,a total of 251 nurses aged 22-48 years old were involved in the study.The mean age of the study participants was 31.32 ± 5.09 years.The score of challenging work stressors of nurses was(24.82±6.12),and that of obstructive work stressors was(10.12±5.87).In nursing work,the types of stressors of nurses included challenging stressors and obstructive stressors.The index value of challenging stressors was higher than that of obstructive stressors,and the differences of challenging stressors in gender,nursing age,education background,marital status and professional title were statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences of obstructive stressors in gender,education background,marital status and professional title were statistically significant(P< 0.05).(2)In this study,the nurses' emotions were all scored(66.43±14.52),and the self-emotional evaluation score was(17.59±3.36).The score of emotional evaluation on others was(15.97±4.10),the score of emotional control was(16.83±3.48),and the score of emotional utilization was(16.03±4.30).The emotional intelligence level of nurses showed statistically significant differences in gender,age,nursing age,educational background,marital status,professional title,monthly income and weekly overtime hours(P<0.05).(3)The total work involvement of nurses was(85.29±27.93),the vitality score was(28.26±8.87),the dedication score was(27.22±9.35),and the concentration score was(29.81±10.56).There were statistically significant differences in nurses' work involvement in gender,education background and marital status(P<0.05).(4)Correlation analysis showed that the total score of nurses' job involvement and all dimensions were positively correlated with challenging stressors,emotional intelligence scores,self-affective evaluation,emotional evaluation of others,emotional utilization and emotional control(r=0.826~0.976,P<0.01),while negatively correlated with obstructive stressors(r=-0.910~-0.867,P<0.01).The total score of nurses' emotional intelligence was positively correlated with each dimension and the total score of nurses' challenging pressure,job involvement,vitality,dedication and concentration(r=0.819~0.965,P<0.001),and negatively correlated with the obstructive stressors(r=-0.901~-0.847,P< 0.01).(5)After controlling for variables such as gender,age,nursing age,education background and marital status,the moderating effect analysis showed that the higher the emotional intelligence of nurses,the stronger the influence of challenging stressors on their job involvement.The higher the emotional intelligence of nurses,the weaker the effect of obstructive stress on their job involvement.Conclusion The results suggest that emotional intelligence is the mediator between challenge and obstructive stressors and job involvement in clinical nurses.Emotional intelligence can promote the positive effect of challenging stressors on job involvement,promote job involvement,and emotional intelligence can reduce the negative impact of obstructive stressors on job involvement.The hospital should strengthen the emotional intelligence training of nursing workers.In daily life and work,nursing staff should attach importance to their own emotional evaluation,emotional evaluation of others,as well as emotional management and application,so as to improve work involvement.
