Examining the impact of perceived social support on mental workload in clinical nurses: the mediating role of positive coping style
Our study found that clinical nurses suffered relatively high level of mental workload. Positive coping style could mediate the effect of perceived social support on mental workload. Appropriate strategies should be formulated to enhance the accessibility and utilization of social support by nurses, and promote them to adopt positive coping methods to deal with clinical problems, so as to further reduce the mental workload of clinical nurses.
