Nursing literature predominantly focuses on job demands but is scarce for resources related to nurses' work. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, resources that can buffer the health-impairing effects of increased demands gain importance. The aim of this study is to explore resilience, meaning of work and joyful moments in home health care workers in South Germany during the pandemic. Resilience and meaning of work were measured quantitatively; moments of joy were investigated qualitatively by audio diaries and analyzed with qualitative content analysis. In all, 115 home health care workers (mean age = 47.83 ± 11.72; 81.75% female) filled in the questionnaires and 237 diary entries were made by 23 persons (mean age = 46.70 ± 10.40; 91.30% female). The mean scores of resilience (5.52 ± 1.04; 1-7) and meaning of work (4.10 ± 0.92; 1-5) showed high levels, with significantly higher values in females. Home care workers experienced joyful moments 334 times in 60 different types in the categories of social relationships, work content, work organization, work environment and self-care. A deeper understanding of resilience, meaning of work and joyful moments provides a basis for the development of worksite health promotion programs that address both demands and resources in home health care workers.
护理文献主要关注工作需求，但与护士工作相关的资源却很少。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，能够缓冲需求增加对健康造成的损害的资源变得尤为重要。本研究旨在探讨德国南部家庭保健工作者在大流行期间的韧性、工作意义和快乐时刻。通过问卷调查来衡量韧性和工作意义；通过音频日记来调查快乐时刻，并采用定性内容分析进行分析。共有 115 名家庭保健工作者（平均年龄=47.83±11.72；81.75%为女性）填写了问卷，23 人（平均年龄=46.70±10.40；91.30%为女性）共完成了 237 篇日记条目。韧性（5.52±1.04；1-7）和工作意义（4.10±0.92；1-5）的平均得分较高，女性的得分明显更高。家庭保健工作者在社会关系、工作内容、工作组织、工作环境和自我保健等 60 个不同类型中体验了 334 次快乐时刻。对韧性、工作意义和快乐时刻的更深入理解为制定家庭保健工作者的工作场所健康促进计划提供了基础，这些计划既可以满足工作需求，也可以提供资源。
