Pediatric Nurses' Role Conflict and Adaptation Survey from a Chinese Children's Hospital

426 pediatric clinical nurses from a tertiary grade A specialized children’s hospital in China participated in a cross-sectional survey. The study reports mean role conflict and adaptation scores of 52.46 and 85.20, respectively, and identifies gender, age, department, and psychological support training as key predictors. Role cognition mediated 55.91% of the total effect between conflict and adaptation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between role conflict and adaptation based on Nurse Role Conflict Scale (NRCS) and Nurse Role Adaptation Scale (NRAS) scores.
• Identifying demographic and occupational predictors of nurse well-being based on factors like gender, age, department, and professional title.
• Investigating the mediating effect of role cognition on the relationship between conflict and adaptation.
• Evaluating the moderating effect of psychological support training as a buffer against role conflict.
• Comparing role stress levels across different hospital departments, such as pediatric ICU and emergency.

Strengths

• Includes survey data from 426 pediatric clinical nurses.
• Reports specific statistical results, including correlation coefficient (r=-0.728) and mediation effect size (indirect effect=-0.407).
• Identifies multiple independent predictors (e.g., gender, age, department, psychological support training) for role conflict and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single hospital in China, which may limit generalizability to other regions or healthcare systems.
