| dc.description | Nursing is exposed to a variety of occupational stress affecting their psychological health and productivity. Psychological flexibility has been shown to have beneficial effects on mental health of general population. The aims of this study were to analyze in nursing staff the relationship between the exposure to work-related stressors and psychological flexibility; and between emotional symptomatology and psychological flexibility; and the differences of the exposure to work-related stressors and emotional symptomatology among different work areas and different shift work. A correlational-comparative study has been developed. In addition to sociodemographic and work variables, the NSS, DASS-21, AAQ-II questionnaires were used to measure the work-related stressors, stress, anxiety, depression, and psychological flexibility, respectively. The prevalence of moderate-very severe levels of depression, anxiety and stress was 17.6%, 29.9% and 23.3%, respectively. A significant negative correlation was observed between work-related stressors and psychological flexibility; between occupational stress and psychological flexibility; between emotional symptomatology and psychological flexibility; between anxiety, stress and age; between work-related stressors and age. Nurses working rotating shifts reported significantly higher levels of emotional symptomatology, stress and anxiety than those working day shifts. Psychological flexibility seems to explain a significant prevalence of emotional symptomatology in nurses. Community nurses showed the lowest levels of anxiety, depression and stress when compared to hospital nurses working in different areas. | en-US |
| dc.description | La enfermería está expuesta a una variedad de estrés laboral afectando a su salud mental y productividad laboral. Se ha demostrado que la flexibilidad psicológica tiene beneficios para la salud mental de la población general. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar en el personal de enfermería la relación entre estresores laborales y flexibilidad psicológica; entre sintomatología emocional y flexibilidad psicológica; y las diferencias en la exposición a estresores y en la sintomatología emocional de la enfermería entre diferentes áreas de trabajo y turnos. En este estudio correlacional comparativo se usaron los cuestionarios NSS, DASS-21 y AAQ-II. La prevalencia de niveles de moderado-a muy severo de depresión, ansiedad y estrés fueron 17.6%, 29.9% y 23.3%, respectivamente. Se observó una correlación significativa negativa entre los estresores laborales y la flexibilidad psicológica; entre el estrés laboral y flexibilidad psicológica; entre sintomatología emocional y flexibilidad psicológica; entre ansiedad, estrés y la edad; y entre los estresores laborales y la edad. Las enfermeras que trabajaban con turnos rotatorios declararon niveles significativamente mayores de sintomatología emocional, estrés y ansiedad que las que trabajaban en turnos diurnos. La flexibilidad psicológica parece explicar una prevalencia significativa de sintomatología emocional en enfermería. Las enfermeras comunitarias mostraron los niveles más bajos de ansiedad, depresión y estrés en comparación con las enfermeras de hospital. | es-ES |
