Description

In recent years, the rise of positive psychology has led to increased attention on work engagement (WE)– a psychological state in which people take pride in their work, put energy into their work, and are positively energized from their work. The purpose of this study was to clarify two issues: 1. the current status of WE among nurses, and 2. the factors that affect the score of WE scale. The subjects were 782 full-time nurses working at Hospital A. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to the subjects regarding their attributes, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-J), and factors related to the score of WE. Of the 782 subjects to the survey, 549 responded. Eleven respondents with missing items were excluded, and 538 were included in the analysis. The mean age was 32.1±8.7 years, and the mean number of years of nursing experience was 10.1±8.1 years. Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that the odds ratios for WE scores were statistically significant for the following five items: “being able to work in the department of my choice,”“ having support from supervisor,”“ being in state of good health,”“ receiving appreciation from patients,” and “being able to secure distance from work”. The results suggest that in order to improve WE, it is important for nurses to be physically and mentally healthier, to be able to work in the department of their choice, to have psychological support and rewards such as support from superiors and appreciation from patients, and to be able to mentally detach themselves from work outside work hours.
