The mental health of nurses working in long-term healthcare centers is affected by the care they provide to older people with major chronic diseases and comorbidity and this in turn affects the quality of that care. The aim of the study was to investigate dispositional optimism, burnout and self-reported health among nurses working in long-term healthcare centers. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used. Survey questionnaires were distributed in 11 long-term health care centers ( = 156) in Catalonia (Spain). The instruments used were LOT-R (dispositional optimism), MBI (burnout) and EuroQol EQ-5D (self-reported health). Bivariate analyses and multivariate linear regression models were used. Self-reported health correlated directly with dispositional optimism and inversely with emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Better perceived health was independently associated with greater dispositional optimism and social support, lower levels of emotional exhaustion level and the absence of burnout. Dispositional optimism in nurses is associated with a greater perception of health and low levels of emotional exhaustion.
长期护理中心护士的心理健康受到他们为患有重大慢性疾病和合并症的老年人提供的护理的影响,而这反过来又会影响护理质量。本研究旨在调查长期护理中心护士的特质乐观主义、倦怠和自我报告的健康状况。采用描述性、横断面调查设计。调查问卷分发给加泰罗尼亚(西班牙)的 11 个长期保健中心(=156)。使用的工具包括 LOT-R(特质乐观主义)、MBI(倦怠)和 EuroQol EQ-5D(自我报告的健康状况)。采用了双变量分析和多元线性回归模型。自我报告的健康状况与特质乐观主义呈正相关,与情绪衰竭和玩世不恭呈负相关。更好的自我感知健康与更大的特质乐观主义和社会支持、较低的情绪衰竭水平以及没有倦怠独立相关。护士的特质乐观主义与对健康的更高感知和较低的情绪衰竭水平有关。
