Studies have documented workers' well-being during individual pandemics and epidemics. However, there lies a need to summarize worker well-being crises. Moreover, there is a scarcity of reviews exploring precarious workers' well-being during these crises. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective via positive psychology's third wave, this scoping review examines positive and negative well-being across diverse occupational groups and situations (e.g., precarious employment) and across crises. Inspired by Ecological Systems Theory, factors at different ecological levels (self, social, workplace, pandemic) relevant to workers' well-being are reviewed. The following questions are addressed: 1) How are virus-related public health crises (i.e., epidemics, pandemics) related to workers' well-being? 2) What resilience and risk factors are associated with workers' well-being in these crises? And 2a) How is the well-being of precarious workers impacted during virus-related public health crises? Of the 2,395 potentially relevant articles published before October 23rd, 2020, 187 were retained. Overall, more research has been conducted on negative than positive well-being. Workers experienced: 1) positive well-being frequently or at moderately high levels overall during pandemics and epidemics, 2) mild to moderate negative well-being during SARS and COVID-19's beginning and high negative well-being during other crises, and 3) high work-related well-being during such crises. Factors at self- (age, gender), social- (social support), workplace- (occupation, frontline status), and pandemic-related (risk/exposure, knowing someone infected/killed by the virus, PPE access) levels were associated with workers' well-being. Although explored infrequently, precarious employment was typically associated with greater negative well-being. Practice- and policy-related recommendations are discussed.
研究记录了个体大流行和流行病期间工人的福祉。然而，有必要总结工人福祉危机。此外，在这些危机期间，探索不稳定工人福祉的综述稀缺。本范围综述通过积极心理学的第三波采用多学科视角，考察不同职业群体和情况（如不稳定就业）以及不同危机下的积极和消极福祉。受生态系统理论启发，回顾了与工人福祉相关的不同生态层面（自我、社会、工作场所、大流行）的因素。探讨了以下问题：1）与病毒相关的公共卫生危机（即流行病、大流行）如何与工人的福祉相关？2） 在这些危机中，哪些复原力和风险因素与工人的福祉相关？以及2a）在与病毒相关的公共卫生危机期间，不稳定工人的福祉受到怎样的影响？在2020年10月23日前发表的2395篇潜在相关文章中，保留了187篇。总体而言，关于消极福祉的研究比积极福祉的更多。工人经历了：1）在大流行和流行病期间，总体上经常或处于中等偏高水平的积极福祉；2） 在非典和新冠疫情初期，经历轻度至中度的消极福祉，在其他危机期间经历高度消极福祉；3） 在这些危机期间，与工作相关的高度福祉。自我层面（年龄、性别）、社会层面（社会支持）、工作场所层面（职业类型、一线状态）和与大流行相关层面（风险/暴露、认识感染/死于病毒的人、个人防护装备的获取）的因素与工人的福祉相关。虽然很少被探讨，但不稳定就业通常与更大的消极福祉相关。讨论了与实践和政策相关的建议。
