The grief that nurses experience when patients and residents die can be complex and has been linked to both problematic (e.g., depression) and beneficial (e.g., gains in coping) outcomes. In this study, 380 nursing assistants working in the nursing home setting were surveyed to gain an understanding of the relationship between grief and well-being. Findings indicated that participants experienced both distress and growth in their grief. Those who experienced greater distress from grief reported significantly higher levels of burnout and lower levels of psychological and physical well-being. Conversely, participants who experienced greater growth from their grief reported significantly lower levels of burnout, higher levels of psychological and physical well-being, and higher levels of job satisfaction. These findings suggest that grief may be an important determinant of well-being in nursing assistants, which, in turn, may impact quality of care in the nursing home.
当患者和疗养院居民去世时，护士所经历的悲伤可能很复杂，并且与问题性（如抑郁）和有益性（如应对能力提升）的结果都有关联。在本研究中，对380名在疗养院工作的护理助理进行了调查，以了解悲伤与幸福感之间的关系。研究结果表明，参与者在悲伤中既经历了痛苦也获得了成长。那些因悲伤而经历更多痛苦的人报告称职业倦怠水平显著更高，心理和身体健康水平更低。相反，那些从悲伤中获得更多成长的参与者报告称职业倦怠水平显著更低，心理和身体健康水平更高，工作满意度也更高。这些发现表明，悲伤可能是护理助理幸福感的一个重要决定因素，而这反过来可能会影响疗养院的护理质量。
