Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 224 nurses from five teaching hospitals in Tianjin, China, was conducted. Self-esteem scale, job satisfaction scale, and subjective well-being scale were used to explore the status of ICU nurses' self-esteem, job satisfaction, and subjective well-being. Correlation among the three elements was calculated by SPSS 17.0. Results: The scores of three scales (i.e., ICU nurses' self-esteem, job satisfaction, and subjective well-being) were 27.67 ± 3.41, 43.57 ± 9.04, and 69.73 ± 11.60, respectively. The subjective well-being was significantly positively correlated with self-esteem and job satisfaction (r = 0.454, P < 0.01; r = 0.584, P < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: The study shows that the prevalence of subjective well-being and self-esteem with ICU nurses are at a low level, and job satisfaction is at the median level. Associations among self-esteem, job satisfaction, and subjective well-being in ICUs have been confirmed. Self-esteem and job satisfaction positively correlated with nurse subjective well-being. The higher the self-esteem and job satisfaction levels are, the stronger the subjective well-being is. The working pressure in ICUs cannot be alleviated temporarily; hence, to promote a high subjective well-being, managers and ICU nurses increase their self-esteem and job satisfaction through taking strategies that strengthen psychological construction.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352013217300339Intensive careJob satisfactionNursesSelf-esteemSubjective well-being |
