Eur J Investig Health Psychol Educ
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Parents of children with special needs and disabilities (W-SND) face a higher risk of parental burnout (PB) than those with typically developing children (WO-SN), yet research has largely focused on the latter group.
- - The study found that factors like the severity of the child's disability and caregiver burden contribute to PB, while social support and learned resourcefulness can provide protective benefits; about 50% of PB variance was explained by the relationships among these factors.
- - Recommendations include enhancing healthcare professionals' awareness of PB risk factors, creating workshops to build protective resources, and urging further studies involving fathers and diverse cultural backgrounds.
Background: Choosing a field of specialization within the nursing profession is affected by nurses' personality traits, self-confidence in performing clinical skills, and the field's prestige. A successful choice of area of expertise may improve nurses' job satisfaction and reduce job mobility. This study aims to examine the relationship between personality traits, clinical self-efficacy, perceived prestige, adoption of technological changes, and choice of specialty field among nursing students.
