Nurse job satisfaction is a critical area of study with far-reaching implications for healthcare organizations, patient care, and the retention of nursing staff.
This study aimed to investigate the association of gratitude with job satisfaction among Chinese nurses and examine the potential mediating roles of resilience and stress in this relationship.
Two separate studies were conducted to examine our research hypotheses. In Study 1, a total of 460 nurses completed the questionnaire related to gratitude, resilience, stress, and job satisfaction. A validation study was conducted in Study 2, which consisted of 709 nurses who also completed the same measures of gratitude, resilience, and stress to ensure the repeatability of the Study 1 results. Furthermore, a different scale was used to measure nurses' job satisfaction.
The two studies consistently found that both resilience and stress mediated gratitude–job satisfaction independently among Chinese nurses. Furthermore, resilience was found to be a significantly stronger mediator than stress in the association of gratitude with job satisfaction. Finally, we found that gratitude predicted nurses' job satisfaction via the serial mediating effects of resilience and stress.
These findings highlight the complex interplay between gratitude, resilience, stress, and job satisfaction by demonstrating that resilience and stress act as parallel and sequential mediators between nurses' gratitude and job satisfaction. The healthcare sector can improve nurses' job satisfaction by increasing gratitude, building resilience, and reducing feelings of stress.
Nurse managers have the potential to enhance job satisfaction among nurses by implementing measures that increase gratitude, build resilience, and reduce stress levels.
By conducting a meta-analysis of relevant clinical studies on the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (GC) using laparoscopic and open surgeries, we aimed to evaluate the impact of these two surgical approaches on postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients with advanced GC. We aimed to provide evidence-based support for preventing SSIs in postoperative patients with advanced GC. From database establishment until May 2023, we systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data databases for relevant studies comparing laparoscopic and open surgeries for the treatment of advanced GC. Two researchers independently performed the literature screening and data extraction based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 17.0. Twenty articles involving 3084 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 1462 patients in the laparoscopic group and 1622 cases in the open surgery group. The meta-analysis results revealed that the incidence of postoperative SSIs was significantly lower in the laparoscopic group than in the open surgery group (odds ratio = 0.341, 95% confidence interval: 0.219–0.532, p < 0.001). The current evidence indicates that laparoscopic radical gastrectomy can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative site infections in patients with advanced GC.
