Status of the psychological contract between psychiatric nurses and head nurses from a dual perspective: A qualitative study

The psychological contract of psychiatric nursing teams is not only influenced by personal effort and responsibility, but also by the empowerment of hospital management and organizational culture. It is suggested that the interaction mode should be optimized through management measures such as fairness of work arrangement, empathetic leadership, attention to nurses' invisible contributions, and two-way feedback of the system, so as to improve nurses' sense of professional safety and team cohesion, and then improve work efficiency and nursing quality.
