Influence of Group Training Based on Psychological Capital Theory on Nursing Staff's Occupational Benefits and Job Satisfaction in an Infusion Preparation Center

Context: While they play an increasingly important role in medication safety, nursing staff in an infusion preparation center also face high work intensity and high occupational-exposure risks. Psychological capital for nurses manifests as ab ability to overcome difficulties; nurses' perceptions of occupational benefits can enable them to think and function in a constructive and rational way in a clinical environment; and job satisfaction can influence the nursing quality.

Objective: The study intended to investigate and analyze the influence of group training based on psychological capital theory on the nursing staff's psychological capital, occupational benefits, and job satisfaction in an infusion preparation center.

Design: The research team performed a prospective, randomized controlled study.

Setting: The study took place at the First Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital in Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Participants: Participants were 54 nurses working in the infusion preparation center at the hospital between September 2021 and November 2021.

Intervention: The research team randomly divided the participants into an intervention and a control group, each with 27 participants, using a random number list. Nurses in the intervention group received group training based on the psychological capital theory, while those in the control group received a routine psychological intervention.

Outcome Measures: At baseline and postintervention, the study compared the scores for psychological capital, occupational benefits, and job satisfaction between the two groups.

Results: At baseline, no statistically significant differences existed between the intervention and control groups on their scores related to psychological capital, occupational benefits, or job satisfaction. Postintervention, the intervention group's scores were significantly higher (1) for psychological capital-hope (P = .004), resilience (P = .000), optimism (P = .001), self-efficacy (P = .000) and total psychological capital score (P = .000); (2) for occupational benefits-career perception (P = .021), sense of belonging to a team (P = .040), and career benefit total score (P = .013); and (3) for job satisfaction-occupational recognition (P = .000), personal development (P = .001), relationships with colleagues (P = .004), the work itself (P = .003), workload (P = .036), management (P = .001), family and work balance (P = .001), and total score for job satisfaction (P = .000). Postintervention, no significant differences existed between the groups (P > .05): (1) for occupational benefits-identity of relatives and friends, self-growth, or nurse-patient relationships or (2) for job satisfaction-salary and benefits.

Conclusions: Implementing group training based on psychological capital theory can improve the psychological capital, occupational benefits, and job satisfaction of nurses in the infusion preparation center.
