目的探讨工作压力源和正念资源对员工身心健康的影响。设计：一项横断面调查设计，在澳大利亚维多利亚的护理和保健工作者。方法收集702名被调查者的调查资料。与工作相关的压力源和员工的心理和身体健康的平均得分进行了比较，人口规范。我们使用分层线性回归来研究人口统计学、工作相关压力源和正念对员工身心健康的相对影响。结果-在这个样本中的员工报告更高水平的工作相关的压力和较差的心理健康相比，现有的规范，而他们的身体健康水平在正常范围内。回归分析表明，工作相关的压力源是员工心理健康的重要预测因素，但正念是更强的预测。与正念相比，员工身体健康与工作相关压力之间的关系略强。此外，年轻和从事非护理工作与更好的身体健康有关。鼓励护士和其他医护人员将正念作为一种健康行为实践，可以提高员工的幸福感，并可能使他们更有效地满足其苛刻角色的要求。
Purpose To examine the relative impact of work-related stressors and the personal resource of mindfulness on employees' mental and physical health. Design A cross-sectional survey design with nursing and healthcare workers in Victoria, Australia. Methods Data were collected from 702 respondents. Mean scores for work-related stressors and employee mental and physical health were compared with population norms. We used hierarchical linear regressions to examine the relative impact of demographics, work-related stressors, and mindfulness on employee mental and physical health. Findings Employees in this sample reported higher levels of work-related stress and poorer mental health compared to available norms, while their levels of physical health were within the normal range. Regression analyses showed that work-related stressors were important predictors of employee mental health, but mindfulness was the stronger predictor. There was a slightly stronger relationship between employee physical health and work-related stress compared to mindfulness. Furthermore, being younger and employed in a non-nursing role were associated with better physical health. Clinical Relevance Encouraging mindfulness as a health behavior practice among nurses and other healthcare workers could improve employee well-being and potentially enable them to more effectively fulfill the requirements of their demanding roles.
