Introduction: Nurses' possession of emotion regulation skills plays an effective role in improving the quality of nursing care. Because it enables them to manage emotions in critical situations, relying on their knowledge and skills. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of strengthening Barlow's five emotion regulation skills on nurses' professional self-efficacy.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. 50 nurses from Zia'ian Hospital in Tehran were selected according to the study's inclusion criteria and were assigned to two intervention and control groups by coin toss. In the intervention group, Barlow's five emotion regulation skills were practiced during 6 group sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. The data collection tools were the demographic characteristics form and the Riggs Professional Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, which were completed before and after the study. The data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential tests in SPSS version 21 software.
Results: There was no significant difference in the demographic characteristics of the nurses in the two groups. The mean score of professional self-efficacy in the intervention and control groups before the study was 43.16 ± 5.76 and 41.28 ± 6.40, respectively, which was not a significant difference (p = 0.28). After the study, this mean increased in the intervention group, which was significantly different from before and compared to the control group (p < 0.001). However, in the control group, these differences were not significant at both times and with the intervention group (p = 0.75).
Conclusion: Strengthening the five emotion regulation skills increases the professional self-efficacy of nurses. Therefore, strengthening these skills is recommended as an effective strategy in nurses' professional development programs to nursing managers and health policy makers. |
