Recovery from work today seems to be crucial for health care employees' health, so it is important to uncover ways how to facilitate and improve adequate recovery from work. Focusing on the recovery concept of detachment from work, this study investigated associations between detachment after work and during work breaks and individual health among health care employees from a general hospital in the Netherlands. An online cross-sectional survey study was conducted comprising a sample of 368 health care employees of different departments. Controlling for demographics in hierarchical regression analyses, results showed that when health care employees experienced more cognitive detachment after work, they reported less concentration problems. Second, when employees experienced more emotional detachment after work, they reported less feelings of emotional exhaustion, less depressive feelings, and less sleep problems. Finally, in case employees experienced more physical detachment after work, they reported less concentration problems, less feelings of emotional exhaustion, less sleep problems and less physical health problems. No significant associations were found for detachment during work breaks. In conclusion, findings add to current recovery research showing that detachment after work is an important predictor for health care employees' health.
今天的工作恢复似乎对医疗保健员工的健康至关重要，因此，探索促进和改善充分工作恢复的方法很重要。本研究聚焦于工作脱离的恢复概念，调查了荷兰一家综合医院的医疗保健员工在工作后和工作休息期间的脱离与个体健康之间的关联。一项在线横断面调查研究包含了来自不同部门的 368 名医疗保健员工的样本。在分层回归分析中控制人口统计学因素后，结果表明，当医疗保健员工在工作后经历更多的认知脱离时，他们报告的注意力问题就越少。其次，当员工在工作后经历更多的情绪脱离时，他们报告的情绪疲惫感、抑郁感和睡眠问题就越少。最后，当员工在工作后经历更多的身体脱离时，他们报告的注意力问题、情绪疲惫感、睡眠问题和身体健康问题就越少。工作休息期间的脱离没有显著关联。总之，研究结果为当前的恢复研究增添了新的内容，表明工作后脱离是医疗保健员工健康的一个重要预测因素。
