Abstract
BACKGROUND
Humanistic practice ability serves as an indispensable skills that newly graduated nurses strive to develop. Yet, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the role of organizational socialization in mediating the association between transition shock and humanistic practice ability in Chinese newly graduated nurses.
AIM
To breakdown the association between humanistic practice ability and transition shock among Chinese newly graduated nurses, with a simultaneous concentration on the mediating effect of organizational socialization in the association.
DESIGN
Utilizing a descriptive cross-sectional study design, this research aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the variables being examined.
METHODS
A web-based survey was completed by 417 newly graduated nurses from three general public hospitals in Shandong Province, eastern China from February to March 2023. Three questionnaires were administered: the Nurse Humanistic Practice Ability Scale (NHPAS), the Organizational Socialization Questionnaire(OSQ) and the Transition shock of Newly Graduated Nurses Scale (TSNGNS). The IBM SPSS 22.0, AMOS 22.0 and GraphPad Prism 9.0.0 was applied for figure preparation and statistical analyses.
RESULTS
Findings indicated a significant statistical association among organizational socialization, transition shock and humanities practicing ability. A significant negative correlation was uncovered between OrS and TrS (r=-0.468, p<0.001), significant and negative correlation (r = -0.412, p < 0.001) was unmasked between the TrS and the HPA,whereas a significant positive correlation was observed between OrS and HPA (r=0.641, p<0.001). Moreover, in the mediation models, organizational socialization was identified as a partial mediating role in the association between transition shock and humanities practicing ability (indirect effect -0.324, p<0.001; direct effect -0.100, p =0.026; total effect -0.424, p =0.001).
CONCLUSION/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE
TrS has a significantly negative influence on HPA among newly graduated nurses, and OrS partially mediating the negative effect of TrS on HPA. Nursing managers and nursing educators can reduce the adverse consequences resulted from TrS through enhancing the benefits of organizational socialization programs and eventually improve the level of HPA of newly graduated nurses.
