Relationship between practice efficacy and professional identity in public health master's graduates: A study on the mediating role of anxiety
To investigate the current status of and relationship between practice efficacy
professional identity
and anxiety among public health master's graduates.
Methods
2
From a national survey on the satisfaction with education of fresh medical master's graduates conducted from June to July
2022
we selected 461 master's graduates of public health with internship experience from 49 institutions. With the use of SPSS 21.0
we compared the scores of practice efficacy
professional identity
and self-rated anxiety by personal characteristics through
t
-tests and
analysis of variance; and explored the mediating role of anxiety in the relationship between practice efficacy and professional identity through stratified regression analysis.
Results
2
The public health master's graduates scored (3.47±1.23) points for anxiety
(3.92±0.88) points for practice efficacy
and (4.33±0.77) points for professional identity. The score of anxiety differed significantly by sex
the degree of being affected by public health emergencies/major outbreaks
and internship initiative (all
P
<
0.05). The score of practice efficacy was significantly different by sex
the type of institution
the degree of being affected by public health emergencies/major outbreaks
and internship initiative (all
P
<
0.05). The score of professional identity differed significantly by sex
the type of institution
major transfer
the degree of being affected by public health emergencies/major outbreaks
internship initiative
and internship duration (all
P
<
0.05). Professional identity was positively correlated with practice efficacy (
r
=0.652
P
<
0.01) and negatively correlated with anxiety (
r
=-0.213
P
<
0.05). The stratified regression results showed that practice efficacy positively influenced professional identity (
β
=0.782
P
<
0.001)
and anxiety partially mediated the relationship between the two (
β
=-0.104
P
<
0.05).
Conclusions
2
Anxiety plays a mediating role in the relationship between practice efficacy and professional identity
suggesting that reducing anxiety can help enhance practice efficacy to promote the professional identity of public health master's graduates.
