This study aims to describe factors associated with subjective well-being (SWB) in cancer workers in Queensland and compares results to normative data for the Australian population.
This study was based on a cross-sectional survey of 544 cancer workers in Queensland with a response rate of 54%. SWB was measured using the Personal Wellbeing Index for Adults. Multiple regression analyses were performed to identify explanatory variables, which were independently associated with SWB. Results were compared with normative Australian data.
The overall mean SWB for study participants was 74.63, which was comparable to the mean of 75.02 for the Australian population (P = 0.47). Female cancer workers had significantly lower levels of SWB compared to the normative data of female Australians (74.44 compared to 75.7, P = 0.03). Multiple regression analyses showed that higher levels of SWB were associated with having 11-30 h of direct patient care hours per week, being married, no child or elder care commitments, good physical health, low levels of both psychological distress and burnout, and high levels of work engagement.
Cancer workers' overall levels of SWB were similar to the national mean scores. Amount of time in direct patient care was linked with SWB, with an optimal time between 11 and 30 h per week associated with high SWB. The majority of the factors significantly associated with SWB were of a personal nature such as marital status and physical and mental health. These data provide a valuable baseline for future research in this area, especially in the area of interventions to promote SWB of workers.
本研究旨在描述昆士兰州癌症医护人员主观幸福感（SWB）的相关因素，并将结果与澳大利亚人群的标准数据进行比较。
本研究基于对昆士兰州544名癌症医护人员的横断面调查，回复率为54%。使用成人个人幸福指数来衡量主观幸福感。进行多元回归分析以确定与主观幸福感独立相关的解释变量。将结果与澳大利亚的标准数据进行比较。
研究参与者的主观幸福感总体平均分为74.63，与澳大利亚人群的平均分为75.02相当（P = 0.47）。与澳大利亚女性的标准数据相比，女性癌症医护人员的主观幸福感水平显著较低（分别为74.44和75.7，P = 0.03）。多元回归分析表明，较高水平的主观幸福感与每周有11 - 30小时的直接患者护理时间、已婚、没有儿童或老年人护理责任、身体健康状况良好、心理困扰和职业倦怠水平较低以及工作投入程度较高有关。
癌症医护人员的主观幸福感总体水平与全国平均得分相似。直接患者护理时间与主观幸福感相关，每周11至30小时的最佳时间与高主观幸福感相关。与主观幸福感显著相关的大多数因素是个人性质的，如婚姻状况以及身心健康。这些数据为该领域未来的研究提供了有价值的基线，特别是在促进医护人员主观幸福感的干预措施方面。
