Objective Through cross-sectional surveys, the current status of job satisfaction, psychological capital, and mental health of nurses at the Guangzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital was investigated, providing reference for improving the nurses professional status. Methods From January to June 2023, 358 nurses from Guangzhou Women and Children Center were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method, and the nurses were investigated by general data questionnaire, career benefit sensing questionnaire, psychological capital scale, depression and anxiety scale. Results The total score of the Professional Benefit Perception Scale for the 358 nurses was (130.03±19.88), the total score of the Psychological Capital Scale was (89.50±16.99), the total Generalized Anxiety Disorder score was (6.44±4.52), and the total Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score was (7.05±5.00). There were statistically significant differences in professional benefit perception scores among nurses with different ages, marital statuses, employment statuses, and years of service (P<0.05). Pearsons correlation analysis showed that the total score of nurses job satisfaction was significantly correlated with the total score of psychological capital (r=0.775, P<0.05), depression (r=-0.398, P<0.05), and anxiety (r=-0.447, P<0.05).Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that psychological capital was the main factor affecting nurses sense of professional benefit (P < 0.05). Conclusion The findings suggest that nurses’ perceived professional benefits is significantly positively correlated with psychological capital and significantly negatively correlated with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Nursing managers should pay attention to the nurses psychology and emotions by enhancing psychological capital, improving their perceived professional benefits, reducing the occurrence of depressive symptoms and anxiety, and ultimately improving the overall mental health of the nursing team.
