It has been argued that family issues in individual cultures do not correlate with fulfilment. However, the universality of these findings is unknown as they are based on data from the Western world.
To examine the connection between job burnout and recovery and the moderating effects of perceived family cohesion and family size in this relationship.
Moderated hierarchical regression analyses were carried out on a sample of medical practitioners working in intensive care units from federal and state-owned hospitals in Southeastern Nigeria.
There were 183 participants. Job burnout was negatively related to recovery and perceived family cohesion was positively related to recovery. However, contrary to our assumption, family size was positively related to recovery. Perceived family cohesion was vital in recovery regardless of the doctors' experience of high levels of burnout. In contrast to most previous findings, family size was found to have a moderating effect in the burnout-recovery connection.
The findings of this study suggested that family bond is important in collectivistic cultures. This was underscored by the moderating effects family issues had on the relation between burnout and recovery. These findings are different from those in Western societies in which previous studies have been conducted.
有人认为，个体文化中的家庭问题与幸福感无关。然而，由于这些发现基于来自西方世界的数据，因此其普遍性尚不清楚。
探讨职业倦怠与恢复之间的关系，并检验在这种关系中感知到的家庭凝聚力和家庭规模的调节作用。
对来自尼日利亚东南部联邦和州立医院重症监护病房的医疗从业者样本进行了分层回归分析。
共有 183 名参与者。职业倦怠与恢复呈负相关，感知到的家庭凝聚力与恢复呈正相关。然而，与我们的假设相反，家庭规模与恢复呈正相关。无论医生是否经历过高度的职业倦怠，感知到的家庭凝聚力对恢复都是至关重要的。与大多数先前的发现相反，家庭规模在职业倦怠与恢复之间的关系中具有调节作用。
这项研究的结果表明，家庭关系在集体主义文化中很重要。这一点得到了家庭问题对倦怠与恢复之间关系的调节作用的支持。这些发现与之前在西方社会进行的研究不同。
