Abstract:[Abstract] Objective To investigate the work pressure, coping style and social support of nurses with different work experiences in private hospitals, and analyze the correlation between them, in order to provide guidance for further reducing nurses' vocational pressure and improving the work efficiency. Methods 402 registered nurses in 6 private hospitals of Huizhou City were selected by cluster random sampling method from May 2013 to July 2014, depending on different work experiences, the nurses were divided into two groups: 0-5 years group and >5-10 years group, each group had 201 cases. Vocational pressure source scale (including of patient care, nursing profession and work, time allocation and workload, work environment and resources, management and interpersonal aspects) was used to evaluate nurses' vocational pressure, scored with grade 1-4; simplified coping style questionnaire (including of positive response and negative response dimensions) was used to investigate and evaluate nurses' coping style; social support rating scale (including of objective and subjective support and utilization degree of social support) was used to evaluate social support of the nurses; the correlation of vocational pressure and coping style, social support was analyzed with Pearson correlation. Results In 0-5 years group and >5-10 years group, the results of vocational pressure source scale showed that, the scores of the nursing profession and work [(2.25±0.31) vs (2.85±0.55) points, t=5.521, P < 0.05], the environment and equipment [(2.45±0.50) vs (2.68±0.52) points, t=7.974, P < 0.05], the overall average working pressure [(2.56±0.48) vs (2.66±0.52) points, t=2.865, P < 0.05) were compared, the differences were statistically significant. Coping style scale in 0-5 years group and >5-10 years group, positive response dimension [(1.84±0.36) vs (1.79±0.41) points, t = 1.621, P > 0.05], negative coping dimension [(1.08±0.12) vs (1.11±0.15 ) points, t = 0.517, P > 0.05] were compared, the differences were not statistically significant. There was no significant difference (t = 1.750, P > 0.05) in social support [(20.50±2.15) vs (20.94±1.46) points] between 0-5 years group and >5-10 years group. The correlation analysis of the vocational pressure, coping style and social support of the nurses with different work experience in private hospitals showed that, vocational pressure was negatively correlated with positive coping style (r = -0.374, P < 0.05), positively correlated with negative coping (r = 0.421, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with social support (r = -0.406, P < 0.05). Conclusion In private hospitals, vocational pressure is current among the nurses with different work experiences, but there is no difference about coping style and social support. Vocational pressure is correlated with coping style and social support in the nurses of private hospitals.
