Abstract：
The pedagogical transition from academic theoretical environments to rigorous clinical settings
represents a formidable juncture for nursing interns, frequently precipitating elevated psychological distress and
profound adaptability hurdles. Grounded inextricably in the theoretical paradigm of positive psychology, this
cross-sectional empirical investigation seeks to elucidate the multifaceted correlations between the sense of
occupational benefit and clinical adaptability among nursing interns. Between October 2023 and April 2024, a
purposive sample comprising 310 nursing interns from tertiary grade-A hospitals was recruited for this study. The
participant cohort completed a comprehensive demographic survey, the Nurses' Sense of Professional Benefit
Questionnaire (NSPBQ), and the Clinical Adaptability Scale.Quantitative evaluations were executed utilizing
Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression models via SPSS 26.0. Empirical findings indicate
that the cohort's mean occupational benefit score stood at 125.43 ± 14.82, whereas clinical adaptability
averaged 76.85 ± 9.45, both situating at a moderately high threshold. A robust, positive bivariate correlation was
established between the aggregate occupational benefit sense and overall clinical adaptability (r = 0.612, P <
0.001). Subsequent multivariate regression diagnostics delineated that the dimensions of self-growth and
positive occupational perception independently accounted for 38.5% of the variance in adaptability metrics (F =
45.62, P < 0.001). The investigation substantiates that fostering a robust sense of occupational benefit, cultivated
meticulously through targeted positive psychological interventions, acts as a critical exogenous catalyst in
augmenting the clinical adaptability of nursing interns, thereby optimizing their professional socialization
trajectory and mitigating attrition intentions.
