Considering the high impact strain that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has put on medical personnel worldwide, identifying means to alleviate stress on healthcare professionals and to boost their subjective and psychological wellbeing is more relevant than ever. This study investigates the extent to which the relationships between the status of working in healthcare and the subjective and psychological wellbeing are serially mediated by work recovery experiences and the need for recovery. Data were collected from 217 Romanian employees (44 health professionals and 173 employees from other domains) using a cross-sectional design with self-report instruments, during the first stage of the nationwide lockdown. The results of the serial mediation analyses revealed that working in the medical field is indirectly related to subjective and psychological wellbeing through the following: (i) mastery experiences and (ii) mastery experiences as an antecedent of the need for recovery. As such, our findings indicate that (i) working in the medical field is, in fact, linked to healthcare professionals' subjective and psychological wellbeing, and they provide some input on (ii) how recovery experiences and the need for recovery intervene in these relationships. Based on these findings, theoretical, methodological, and practical implications were suggested, and future research directions were proposed to maximize healthcare professionals' wellbeing.
考虑到严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）大流行给全球医务人员带来的高冲击压力，确定减轻医疗保健专业人员压力并提升其主观和心理健康的方法比以往任何时候都更加重要。本研究调查了医疗保健工作状态与主观和心理健康之间的关系在多大程度上通过工作恢复经历和恢复需求进行系列中介作用。在全国封锁的第一阶段，采用自我报告工具的横断面设计，从217名罗马尼亚员工（44名医疗专业人员和173名其他领域员工）中收集数据。系列中介分析结果显示，在医疗领域工作通过以下方式与主观和心理健康间接相关：（i）掌握体验，以及（ii）作为恢复需求前提的掌握体验。因此，我们的研究结果表明：（i）在医疗领域工作实际上与医疗保健专业人员的主观和心理健康相关，并且它们为（ii）恢复经历和恢复需求如何干预这些关系提供了一些见解。基于这些发现，提出了理论、方法和实践意义，并提出了未来研究方向，以最大限度地提高医疗保健专业人员的幸福感。
