Core Tip

Core Tip: The professional and psychological qualities of clean operating department nurses affect their operation success. Clinical practice emphasizes the importance of the mental health of nurses in operating rooms. This study found that, for nurses working in clean operating departments, resilience was positively correlated with life satisfaction and negatively correlated with depression, indicating that resilience can increase life satisfaction and decrease depression. Life satisfaction mediated the relationship between resilience and depression. This suggests that nurses in clean operating departments should improve their life satisfaction and resilience to adversity to improve their mental health.
