Objective To understand the current situation of the care burden of primary caregiver of patients with oral diquat poisoning, analyze its influencing factors, and analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience in social support and care burden, so as to provide a theoretical basis for further clinical intervention. Methods The primary caregivers of patients with oral diquat poisoning who received treatment at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between October 2019 and October 2021 were selected. The general information questionnaire, Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), Connor-davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Social Support Revalued Scale (SSRS) were used to investigate the primary caregivers of patients with oral diquat poisoning. The influencing factors of the care burden on primary caregivers were analyzed. Results A total of 218 patients and their primary caregivers were included. The age of the primary caregivers, whether they were an only child, physical condition, educational level, economic income, daily care time, patient’s condition, and patient’s urinary concentration of diquat were the influencing factors of ZBI. The SSRS score of the primary caregiver was 26.97±10.21, the CD-RISC score was 56.95±26.64, and the ZBI score was 52.95±16.06. The burden of care was negatively correlated with social support (r=−0.369, P<0.05), the burden of care was negatively correlated with psychological resilience (r=−0.467, P<0.05), and social support was positively correlated with psychological resilience (r=0.288, P<0.05). The role of psychological resilience in the influence of social support and care burden was partly mediated, accounting for 41.905%. Conclusions The level of social support and psychological resilience of the primary caregivers is low, and the burden of care is heavy. Psychological resilience plays an intermediary role in the social support and care burden of the primary caregivers of patients with oral diquat poisoning. Clinical staff can carry out targeted intervention to improve the level of social support and psychological resilience and reduce the care burden.
Objective To investigate the current status of occupational environment support, occupational satisfaction, and job competence of hospital infection prevention and control personnel, and to explore the mediating effect of occupational satisfaction on the relationship between occupational environment support and job competence, in order to provide reference and guidance for effectively improving the job competence of hospital infection prevention and control personnel. Methods A survey questionnaire was distributed to various levels and types of medical institutions in Shanghai through the platform of the Shanghai Hospital Infection Quality Control Center. The questionnaire included the Occupational Environment Support Scale, Occupational Satisfaction Scale, and Job Competency Assessment Scale. The mediating effect of occupational satisfaction on the relationship between occupational environment support and job competency of hospital infection prevention and control personnel was analyzed. Results A total of 1027 hospital infection prevention and control personnel from 728 medical institutions participated in this survey, with 989 valid questionnaires and an effective response rate of 96.3%. There were statistically significant differences in the job competency scores of hospital infection prevention and control personnel based on gender, years of experience in infection control work, professional background, highest education level, professional title, job nature, type of medical institution, and annual income (P<0.05). The total score of job competence for hospital infection prevention and control personnel was 301.0 (267.5, 326.0), the total score of occupational environment support was 21.44±3.66, and the total score of occupational satisfaction was 19.25±2.78. The occupational environment support of hospital infection prevention and control personnel was positively correlated with occupational satisfaction and job competence (r=0.373, 0.339; P<0.001), and occupational satisfaction was positively correlated with occupational environment support (r=0.547, P<0.001). The mediating effect of job satisfaction on the occupational environment support and job competence was 0.085, accounting for 22.8% of the total effect. Conclusion Occupational satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between occupational environment support and job competence, and the mediating effect is significant.
