The relationship between sense of coherence, occupational stress, organizational climate, identity, and mental health of newly graduated nurses in a specified functional hospital (secondary publication)

抄録

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the sense of coherence (SOC), occupational stress, organizational climate, and identity of new graduate nurses in a specified functional hospital to identify factors related to mental health. It will also identify the relationship between SOC and generalized resilience resources. Methods: This study employed a self-completion questionnaire on SOC (29 items), an identity scale (20 items), a job content questionnaire (22 items), an organizational climate scale (12 items), and a general health questionnaire (GHQ; 12 items) among 105 new graduate nurses in specialized hospitals. Results: A multiple regression analysis was performed with each subscale of the GHQ-12 and SOC-29 as dependent variables. The mental health of new graduate nurses was found to be strongly associated with their SOC. Furthermore, the organizational environment and basis of identity contributed to a sense of comprehensibility, which is a factor in SOC. A sense of manageability and meaningfulness is also related to the basis and establishment of identity. Conclusions: Increasing SOC as a mental health measure for new graduate nurses is pivotal. Thus, creating an organizational environment may strengthen SOC.
