The Impact of Psychosocial Health and Self-nurturance on Graduate Nurse Experience

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance on the experience of new graduate nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used. The participants in this study were 149 nurses who had less than 12 months of nursing experience and were working at one of 4 general hospitals. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire from Nov. 2012 to Oct. 2014. Results: The total mean score for Psychosocial health was $3.07{\pm}0.60$, Self-nurturance, $3.38{\pm}0.44$, and graduate nurse experience, $2.59{\pm}0.27$. The effect of Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance predicted 23% of variance in graduate nurse experience. Conclusion: These results indicate that Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance have a positive relationship to graduate nurse experience. Therefore, further studies including approaches that support Psychosocial health and Self-nurturance are recommended to help in the adaptation of newly graduated nurses to clinical settings.
