This study describes the well-being at work of nurse entrepreneurs and owner-managers of social care companies in Finland from the vantage point of health and working capacity, general coping and job satisfaction and identifies factors associated with well-being.
In recent years, increasing numbers of nurses have been starting up in business in the social care sector. As yet, there has been only limited research into their well-being at work.
Survey.
This study was conducted as part of a questionnaire survey among 335 social care entrepreneurs with different educational backgrounds. The sample for the study reported here consisted of those respondents who had a registered nurse degree (n = 84). The data were analysed by SPSS statistical software.
Most of the respondents rated their physical, mental, financial and social situation and working capacity as good. Less than half of the respondents had experienced stress during the past year. Over half felt their coping efficacy was better than it had been shortly after starting up in business. The respondents' resources were consumed and strengthened by a range of different work-related factors. The majority were satisfied with their job as an entrepreneur. Several background factors were associated with the results.
Most of the nurse entrepreneurs reported being content with their well-being at work. Nevertheless, the results also highlighted factors that could and should be addressed to improve the well-being at work of entrepreneurs who struggle to cope.
The results provide useful information for the development of entrepreneurial training for nurses, for the design and provision of occupational health care services and for the enrichment of the content of the entrepreneur's job.
本研究从健康与工作能力、总体应对方式以及工作满意度的角度，描述了芬兰护士企业家和社会护理公司业主经理的工作幸福感，并确定了与幸福感相关的因素。
近年来，越来越多的护士开始涉足社会护理领域创业。然而，目前对他们工作幸福感的研究还很有限。
调查。
本研究是对335名具有不同教育背景的社会护理企业家进行问卷调查的一部分。此处报告的研究样本由拥有注册护士学位的受访者组成（n = 84）。数据采用SPSS统计软件进行分析。
大多数受访者对自己的身体、心理、财务和社会状况以及工作能力评价良好。不到一半的受访者在过去一年中经历过压力。超过一半的人觉得自己的应对效能比创业后不久更好。受访者的资源因一系列不同的工作相关因素而被消耗和增强。大多数人对自己作为企业家这份工作感到满意。几个背景因素与结果相关。
大多数护士企业家报告对自己的工作幸福感感到满意。然而，研究结果也凸显了一些可以而且应该解决的因素，以改善那些难以应对的企业家的工作幸福感。
研究结果为护士创业培训的发展、职业健康护理服务的设计与提供以及丰富企业家工作内容提供了有用信息。
