AimTo investigate how nurses’ psychological resilience affects their work engagement and the resulting pathways, namely, the intermediary effect of career identity and quality of work life.BackgroundPsychological resilience is the ability to adapt to new circumstances and overcome difficulties. Work engagement is a positive, perfect emotional and cognitive state in the work process, which has a positive effect on nurses’ physical and mental health and career development. The importance of psychological resilience in nursing is growing in popularity. However, few studies have explored the relationship between psychological resilience and nurses’ work engagement.DesignThis is a cross-sectional study.MethodsFrom March to April 2023, 356 nurses in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University in China received valid questionnaires. The study was surveyed using the Connor-Davidson, Resilience Scale, the Nursing Career Identity Scale, the Work-Related Quality of Life Scale, and the 15-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Process version 3.5 plug-in SPSS 25 was used to test the mediating effect.Results(1) Psychological resilience was significantly and positively correlated with career identity, quality of work life, and work engagement (r = 0.702–0.803, p < 0.001). (2) Career identity and quality of work life partially mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and work engagement, with effect sizes of 0.2382 and 0.0958, respectively. (3) There was a chain mediation model between psychological resilience and work engagement that had a value of 0.1219.ConclusionCareer identity and quality of work life played a chain-mediating role between psychological resilience and work engagement. Thus, in order to enhance the work engagement of clinical nurses, it is necessary for nursing managers to take measures to enhance not only psychological resilience but also their career identity and the quality of work life.

AimTo examine the association between positive mental well‐being and professional identity in nursing students. The mediating effects of resilience and nurse–patient relationship were explored.BackgroundProfessional identity of nursing students can influence their pursuit of a nursing career. Negative mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and high stress, are known risk factors for professional identity. Few studies have examined the association of professional identity with positive mental well‐being and underlying mechanisms.MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study of Chinese nursing students on clinical placement. The Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well‐being Scale, Professional Identity Scale, Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, Nurse–Patient Relationship Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire were used, and demographic and study‐related characteristics were measured. Multivariable linear regression and mediation analyses analyzed the associations. We followed the STROBE reporting guidelines.ResultsOf 208 participants, the total scores of positive mental well‐being and professional identity were at a moderate level. Positive mental well‐being was associated with professional identity after adjusting for confounders including the main reason for choosing nursing and negative mental health. Resilience was a full mediator of the association between positive mental well‐being and professional identity, whereas nurse–patient relationship was a partial mediator.Discussion and conclusionPositive mental well‐being was associated with professional identity in Chinese nursing students on clinical placement, mediated through resilience and nurse–patient relationship. Positive mental well‐being can be a facilitator for the professional identity of nursing students, and resilience and nurse–patient relationship could be potential mechanisms for nurse professional development.Implications for nursing and/or health policyNurse researchers, educators, and policymakers are informed to increase the awareness of positive mental well‐being and develop interventions targeting resilience and nurse–patient relationship for building a stable and satisfied nursing team.
