Abstract

Objective To explore the potential mechanisms underlying the association between general self-efficacy and fatigue among Armed Police soldiers during disaster rescue, and to explore whether self-esteem exerts a mediating effect on the influence of general self-efficacy on fatigue. Methods The fatigue Scale -14 (FS-14), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Self-Esteem scale (SES) and general data questionnaire were used to investigate 267 Armed Police soldiers. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and Spearman rank correlation coefficient were used to describe the correlations between the data, and the PROCESS macro program was used to test the mediating effect model. Results The average fatigue level of these soldiers was (3.20±3.02), and the incidence of fatigue was 13.69%. The results of the mediating effect test showed that general self-efficacy was negatively correlated with fatigue(B=-0.397,t=-6.930,P<0.001), but positively with self-esteem (B=0.485,t=8.782,P<0.001), and that the negative effect of self-esteem on fatigue was significant (B=-0.415,t=-6.947,P<0.001).The mediating effect of self-esteem accounted for 50.72% of the total effect of general self-efficacy on fatigue while the direct effect of general self-efficacy on fatigue was 49.28%. Conclusions Better self-efficacy of soldiers can reduce the sense of fatigue, and individuals with low self-efficacy need to improve their self-esteem and reduce fatigue via interventions.
