Stressors of newly graduated nurses in Shanghai paediatric hospital: a qualitative study.
Journal of Nursing Management 2017 April
AIM: To identify stressors of newly graduated paediatric nurses at a children's hospital in Shanghai, China.
BACKGROUND: Stress is an international phenomenon in nursing generally, but little is known about its effect on new paediatric nurses at the Shanghai paediatric hospital.
METHOD: Participants in this research were 25 newly graduated paediatric nurses. Their behaviours and perceptions were explored by field observations and interviews.
RESULTS: Findings indicated that participants experienced numerous stressors: low work status, insufficient professional competence, heavy workload, inadequate supportive systems and uncertainty of career development.
CONCLUSION: The results of the present study provide useful information for administrators to develop and improve postgraduate programmes to support novice paediatric nurses.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Our research highlights the importance of identifying the stressors of new paediatric nurses in the light of a serious nurse shortage and an increasing birth rate.
