Abstract:

Objective To investigate the happiness of nurses in transplantation intensive care unit (ICU) and its influencing factors. Methods The transactional study design was adopted, and the general well-being scale was employed to investigate the happiness of nurses in transplantation ICU and its influencing factors. Results The happiness index of nurses in transplantation ICU was 106.81±6.21. The scores of 3 items (worry on health, satisfaction and interest on life, and total score) in hospital-employed nurses were significantly higher than those in non-hospital-employed nurses (P<0.05), and the scores of 2 items (energy and control of emotion and behavior) in nurses with working experience of no more than 5 years were significantly higher than those in nurses with working experience of more than 5 years (P<0.05). Conclusion The nurses in transplantation ICU have moderate happiness, and employee status and years of working experience are influencing factors.
