To assess the mental health of nurses and to find the post responsibility and psychological status of clinical nurses. A total of 447 nursing staff at different levels in a teaching hospital was assessed by nursing post responsibility scale and mental symptom checklist (SCL-90) then compared with each other. The study period was from April 1, 2018 to April 30, 2018. There was a positive correlation between the responsibility of post and interpersonal relationship (r = 0.11, P < .05), depression (r = 0.10, P < .05) and hostility (r = 0.10, P < .05). Post risk was negatively correlated with somatization (r = −0.10, P < .05), job involvement scope and communication ability were negatively correlated (r = −0.11, P < .05). Based on the multiple linear regression, knowledge and skills (β = −0.20, P = .02) and risks of the post (β=0.20, P < .01) both significantly related to SCL-90 total score. In conclusion, knowledge and skills and risks of the post associated with mental health of clinical nurses. The sustainable development of nursing post responsibility requires healthy physiological and mental health.
