The salutogenic approach in workplace health promotion emphasizes resources to gain and maintain good health and wellbeing. One of these resources could be calling, but its relation to the salutogenic approach is unknown.
To explore the associations between salutogenic measures of health and occupational wellbeing and calling among workers from the care and educational sectors.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Autumn 2020 among Finnish public and private sector care workers. A total of 7925 workers responded. Descriptive analyses and analysis of variance were used for the data analysis.
Salutogenic measures of health and occupational wellbeing correlated strongly mutually, and both correlated moderately with calling. Workers aged over 55 years, workers acting in the education sector, workers with superior positions and temporary workers had the highest scores on health, occupational wellbeing and calling. When comparing occupational wellbeing dimensions by profession, managers had the highest scores and nurses the lowest.
This study provides knowledge of promotive factors and health and occupational wellbeing resources for workplace health promotion in the care sector. Perceived calling in work can be considered a salutogenic resource for overall health and wellbeing; however, these connections should be further studied.
工作场所健康促进中的健康生成方法强调获取和维持良好健康及幸福的资源。其中一种资源可能是使命感，但它与健康生成方法的关系尚不清楚。
探讨护理和教育部门工作人员的健康生成性健康措施、职业幸福感与使命感之间的关联。
2020年秋季对芬兰公共和私营部门护理人员进行了横断面调查。共有7925名工作人员做出回应。数据分析采用描述性分析和方差分析。
健康生成性健康措施与职业幸福感之间相互高度相关，且二者均与使命感中度相关。55岁以上的工作人员、教育部门的工作人员、担任高级职位的工作人员和临时工在健康、职业幸福感和使命感方面得分最高。按职业比较职业幸福感维度时，管理人员得分最高，护士得分最低。
本研究为护理部门工作场所健康促进的促进因素以及健康和职业幸福感资源提供了知识。工作中的使命感可被视为促进整体健康和幸福的健康生成性资源；然而，这些联系应进一步研究。
