The latest research suggests that the relationships between the risk of contracting COVID-19, personal resources and subjective well-being have rather an indirect character and can include the occurrence of mediating factors related to meaning-making processes and stress experiences. Protection motivation theory offers a theoretical paradigm that enables these associations to be thoroughly investigated and understood. The current study aimed to examine the mediating roles of meaning-making and stress in the relationship of risk of contracting COVID-19 and personal resources (self-efficacy and meaning in life) with subjective well-being among healthcare workers. A total of 225 healthcare workers from hospitals, medical centres and diagnostic units completed a set of questionnaires during the first few months of the COVID-19 lockdown period (March-May 2020). The results revealed that greater self-efficacy and meaning in life were associated with higher cognitive and affective dimensions of subjective well-being, whereas a lesser risk of contracting COVID-19 was only associated with the higher affective dimension. The central finding demonstrated different mediating roles of stress and meaning-making in the relationship of risk of contracting COVID-19 and personal resources with the cognitive and affective dimensions of subjective well-being. This confirmed the applicability of meaning-oriented and stress management processes for understanding how healthcare workers' well-being is affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
最新研究表明，感染新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的风险、个人资源与主观幸福感之间的关系具有相当的间接性，可能包括与意义构建过程和压力体验相关的中介因素的出现。保护动机理论提供了一个理论范式，能够对这些关联进行深入研究和理解。本研究旨在探讨意义构建和压力在医护人员感染COVID-19的风险与个人资源（自我效能感和生活意义）与主观幸福感关系中的中介作用。在COVID-19封锁期的最初几个月（2020年3月至5月），共有225名来自医院、医疗中心和诊断单位的医护人员完成了一组问卷调查。结果显示，更高的自我效能感和生活意义与主观幸福感更高的认知和情感维度相关，而感染COVID-19的较低风险仅与更高的情感维度相关。核心研究结果表明，压力和意义构建在感染COVID-19的风险与个人资源和主观幸福感的认知及情感维度关系中发挥了不同的中介作用。这证实了以意义为导向的过程和压力管理过程在理解COVID-19大流行期间医护人员幸福感如何受到影响方面的适用性。
