Abstract:
This study investigated the psychological well-being, resilience, and work productivity of emergency care nurses in selected specialty hospitals in Anhui Province, China, with the aim of developing an inter-professional emergency team collaboration framework. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered from 206 randomly selected emergency care nurses using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Dulewicz and Higgs Work Productivity Scale. Psychological well-being was measured across autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations, purpose in life, and self-acceptance; resilience across active coping, cognitive flexibility, positive emotion, optimism, and spirituality; and work productivity across work engagement, work attitude, and work performance. Descriptive analysis revealed that nurses demonstrated strong psychological well-being by confidently making decisions, overcoming daily challenges, fostering positive relationships, setting meaningful goals, and valuing their achievements. They also showed high resilience through adaptability, optimism, persistence under pressure, and self-perceived strength when facing difficulties. In terms of work productivity, nurses actively engaged in their tasks, maintained positive attitudes, and strived to meet goals efficiently. Correlational analysis revealed strong positive relationships among psychological well-being, resilience, and work productivity. Further, multiple regression indicated that psychological well-being accounted for 76.6% of the variance in work productivity, while resilience explained 78.2%. These findings highlight the significant role of psychological well-being and resilience in enhancing the work productivity of emergency care nurses. The study underscores the importance of fostering supportive inter-professional collaboration to strengthen these attributes and improve healthcare delivery outcomes.
