| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Nurses manipulate their emotions as part of their occupation, and as a consequence, nurses may be susceptible to emotional dissonance, a phenomenon that affects healthcare professionals from a variety of angles because it may jeopardize their psychological and mental health, as well as challenge and influence their goals and psychological wellbeing. Aim of the study: Assess the relation between emotional dissonance and psychological wellbeing among psychiatric nurses. Subjects and methods: Research design: Descriptive correlational design was used to conduct the study. Setting: The study was executed out at El-Azazi hospital for mental health in Abo Hamad City, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: A purposive sample of 100 psychiatric nurses participate in this study. Tools of data collection: Two tools were used for data collection. The Emotional Dissonance Scale is composed of two parts (Socio-demographic and work-related characteristics Questionnaire and Emotional Dissonance Scale), and Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWB). Results: This study demonstrated that less than half of the studied nurses had moderate level of emotional dissonance and less than three-quarters of the studied nurses had high psychological wellbeing levels. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant negative correlation between nurses' emotional dissonance and their psychological well-being. Recommendation: Developing psychosocial counselling sessions to train psychiatric nurses on emotional expression and management. | ||||
