A sample of 250 health care workers aged 18 to 68 (mean = 32.5 years) completed the Survey of Health Care Professionals. Self-ratings of their social skills, mental capacity, and physical capability corresponded to their ratings of work demands. Physical tiredness and tension were rated higher than mental tiredness. Worker age did not affect self-ratings of work performance, but physical and mental tiredness increased with increases in the age that one felt. The younger participants felt compared to their calendar ages, the better the level of current work ability they reported. The main concerns of workers were connected with off-the-job factors, most likely caused by the economic crisis and unfavorable ecological conditions in Ukraine. More than half of the participants were quite a bit or extremely concerned with changes in the cost of living, water quality, food safety, and radiation. The variable most closely related to these concerns is the discrepancy between calendar age and how old one feels. Coping strategies of workers can be related to sleeping, entertainment, and other off-the-job activities. These behaviors are related to the discrepancy between calendar age and how old one looks and feels, as well as felt age.
250名年龄在18至68岁（平均32.5岁）的医护人员完成了医护专业人员调查问卷。他们对自己社交技能、心理能力和身体能力的自我评分与他们对工作要求的评分相符。身体疲劳和紧张程度的评分高于精神疲劳。工作人员的年龄并不影响其工作表现的自我评分，但身体和精神疲劳会随着感觉年龄的增长而增加。与实际年龄相比，参与者感觉自己越年轻，他们报告的当前工作能力水平就越高。工作人员的主要担忧与工作之外的因素有关，很可能是由乌克兰的经济危机和不利的生态状况造成的。超过一半的参与者非常或极其担心生活成本、水质、食品安全和辐射的变化。与这些担忧最密切相关的变量是实际年龄与感觉年龄之间的差异。工作人员的应对策略可能与睡眠、娱乐和其他工作之外的活动有关。这些行为与实际年龄和看起来及感觉上的年龄差异以及感觉年龄有关。
