Abstract

This study investigated Perceived Conflict Resolution strategies, marital status and Gender Dysphoria on Psychological wellbeing among Doctors and Nurses in Federal Teaching Hospitals. A total of 207 participants, comprising 114 males and 93 females, were selected from Two Federal Teaching Hospitals in Owerri and Enugu state using a convenience sampling technique. The participants' ages ranged from 27 to 58, with a mean age of 41.16 and a standard deviation of 9.69. The study had three hypotheses. Data collection relied on three instruments: Conflict Resolution Strategies Scale developed by Howat and London (1980), the Utrecht Gender Dysphoria scale developed by Schneider, Cerwenka and Nieder (2016) and the Psychological Wellbeing Scale developed by Ryff (1989). The research design employed was a cross-sectional survey design, and data analysis was conducted through Hierarchical multiple regression and standard linear regression. The findings of this study revealed that perceived Conflict Resolution Strategies and marital status predicted the Psychological wellbeing of Doctors and Nurses, while Gender Dysphoria did not predict Psychological wellbeing among Doctors and Nurses in Federal Teaching Hospitals. In light of these findings, managers and owners of companies are advised to take procedure measures to prevent or manage Conflict; even though it’s inevitable, adopting the proper conflict resolution strategies will help in improving the Psychological wellbeing of Doctors and Nurses.
