Cohort profile: the nurses' mental health study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Owing to the special nature of work and practice environment, nurses face relatively higher mental health risks. The mental health problems of nurses in China's tertiary hospitals are particularly prominent. However, nationally representative longitudinal data on nurses' mental health in China are lacking. The present paper describes the design and initial findings of the Nurses' Mental Health Study (NMHS).

Methods

The study population comprised registered nurses employed at 67 tertiary hospitals across 31 provinces in mainland China. Survey content covers sociodemographic information, work-related factors, health status, lifestyle habits, objective experiences, family and social relationships, current affairs opinions, overall evaluation, and identity information
