Professional residential care providers face several stressors due to the burden of caring for dependent people. This burden may affect the way in which care is carried out. Resilience, as personal strengths, may help them to be more effective in their workplace and in their interaction with patients, and this may be related to the development of participation skills and prosocial behaviours. A total of 125 professional's caregivers from Spain responded to the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale Resilience Scale and the PB new Prosocial Conduct Scale over the years 2018 and 2019. We checked the predictive power of resilience as well as other predictors (sex, type of contract and total months worked in professional caregiving) on prosocial behaviour in caregivers' professionals with multiple regression analysis. Results showed resilience as the only significant predictor, explaining 21% of the variance in prosocial behaviour (R = 0.21, F(5, 115) = 6.16, p < 0.001). This indicates that resilience is a variable prediction of prosocial behaviour in health and social professionals. Resilience gets in the individual the capacity to be attentive to give answers in certain situations, being a predictor of great relevance of the prosocial behaviours. Thus, it is necessary to deepen the research on professional caregivers to be able to train and empower them in skills that improve their quality of life and by strength, that of dependent people.
专业的住家护理人员由于照顾依赖者的负担而面临多种压力源。这种负担可能会影响护理的实施方式。作为个人优势的韧性可能会帮助他们在工作场所和与患者的互动中更加高效,这可能与参与技能和亲社会行为的发展有关。2018 年至 2019 年,共有 125 名来自西班牙的专业护理人员对康纳-戴维森韧性量表(Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale)和 PB 新亲社会行为量表(PB new Prosocial Conduct Scale)做出了回应。我们通过多元回归分析,检查了韧性以及其他预测因素(性别、合同类型和专业护理工作总月数)对护理人员亲社会行为的预测能力。结果表明,韧性是亲社会行为的唯一显著预测因素,解释了 21%的亲社会行为方差(R²=0.21,F(5, 115)=6.16,p<0.001)。这表明韧性是健康和社会专业人员亲社会行为的一个可预测变量。韧性使个体具备在特定情况下做出回应的能力,是亲社会行为的一个重要预测因素。因此,有必要深入研究专业护理人员,以便能够在技能方面对他们进行培训和赋权,从而提高他们的生活质量,并通过提高依赖者的韧性来提高他们的生活质量。
