“…Individuals with high self-efficacy believe that positive outcomes can be achieved through problem solving and goal setting, and they often use problem-focused coping strategies ( Cabrera-Aguilar et al, 2023 ). The study of Zhou et al (2023) suggested the effectiveness of such strategies for nurses facing challenges in caring for patients with GC. To address challenges, nurses have employed various coping strategies, such as implementing evidence-based practices through critical utilization of new knowledge and enhancing their ability to communicate effectively ( Kobleder et al, 2017 ).…”

“…To address challenges, nurses have employed various coping strategies, such as implementing evidence-based practices through critical utilization of new knowledge and enhancing their ability to communicate effectively ( Kobleder et al, 2017 ). In addressing challenges and delivering care, nurses find fulfillment and value in supporting patients with GC, which in turn improves their NPPB ( Zhou et al, 2023 ). Therefore, nursing managers should provide their staff with positive feedback and support, encourage nurses experienced in caring for patients with GC to assist their younger peers, and offer learning opportunities to enhance their nursing capability and confidence, ultimately enhancing their NPPB.…”

IntroductionNurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer experience significant job stress, which adversely impacts their mental health. Previous studies have indicated that perceived professional benefits serves as a protective factor for nurses’ mental health, and factors such as job stress, perceived social support and self-efficacy influence their perceived professional benefits. However, the relationships between these factors and the associated mechanisms have remained incompletely understood. This study explored the role of perceived social support and self-efficacy in job stress and perceived professional benefits among nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer.MethodsDuring June and July 2023, an investigation was conducted in Anhui Province. The Nurse Job Stressors Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Nurses’ Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale were administered to 311 nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. A chained-mediated effect model was constructed and validated.ResultsJob stress negatively affected nurses’ perceived professional benefits. Perceived social support was a mediator in job stress and nurses’ perceived professional benefits, with a mediating effect value of −0.093. Additionally, perceived social support and self-efficacy functioned as sequential mediators in this relationship, with a mediating effect value of −0.032.ConclusionThis study unveils the influencing mechanisms of job stress on perceived professional benefits of nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. It is essential for nursing managers to alleviate nurses’ job stress, provide sufficient and effective social support and improve their self-efficacy, ultimately enhancing their perceived professional benefits.
