在美国和其他西方国家，与老年人痴呆症相关的攻击性行为（AB）与护理人员（CW）职业压力的增加有关，并且可能导致员工流动。然而，日本国内对此问题的研究却很少。当前的横断面研究检查了（a）接触痴呆相关 AB 的 CW 频率与 CW 职业压力（即工作倦怠、工作满意度和辞职意向）之间的关系，以及（b）接触痴呆相关 AB 的频率与 CW 职业压力之间的中介效应。来自日本 10 家疗养院的痴呆症特殊护理单位的 137 名护理人员被招募为研究参与者。主要研究结果表明，接触 AB 与工作成果之间的关系完全由压力评估来调节。这项研究的结果可用于制定文化相关的培训和教育干预措施，旨在减少痴呆症患者的 AB 以及 CW 中接触 AB 带来的职业压力。
Aggressive behaviors (ABs) related to dementia in older adults have been associated with increased occupational stress among care workers (CWs) in the United States and other Western countries, and they may contribute to staff turnover. However, few studies related to this issue have been conducted in Japan. The current cross-sectional study examined (a) the relationship between CW frequency of exposure to dementia-related ABs and CW occupational stress (i.e., job burnout, job satisfaction, and intention to resign), and (b) mediator effects between frequency of exposure to dementia-related ABs and CW occupational stress. A total of 137 CWs in dementia special care units from 10 nursing homes in Japan were recruited as study participants. Major findings indicate that the relationship between exposure to ABs and work outcomes was fully mediated by the appraisal of stress. Findings from this study may be used to develop culturally relevant training and educational interventions targeted at reducing ABs in individuals with dementia and occupational stress from exposure to ABs among CWs.
