养老院的护理人员在充满挑战的环境中工作，而COVID-19疫情以前所未有的方式加剧了这些挑战。另一方面，一致性意识（SOC）是一种能力，可以帮助这些专业人员将情况视为可以理解，可管理和有意义的。本研究旨在分析COVID-19大流行期间，潜在风险和保护性因素对养老院工作人员的影响程度，并评估这些因素对他们职业倦怠的贡献。340名在西班牙养老院工作的专业人士完成了一项调查，并报告了他们的社会人口特征以及与COVID-19、SOC和倦怠相关的工作的组织特征。进行多元线性回归分析。结果表明，SOC与职业倦怠各维度高度相关，是职业倦怠的保护性因素。此外，工作时数的增加也有负面影响，使人们对紧张情况的反应不足;虽然人们认为社会支持和资源的可得性具有保护作用，但身心健康的恶化是最重要的风险因素。这项研究可以帮助更好地了解养老院工作人员努力的心理后果，也可以帮助为工作人员设计心理健康预防和护理干预措施，为他们提供资源和支持，培养他们的应对技能。
Care staff in nursing homes work in a challenging environment, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated those challenges in an unprecedented way. On the other hand, the sense of coherence (SOC) is a competence that could help these professionals perceive the situation as understandable, manageable and meaningful. This study aims to analyse the extent to which potential risk and protective factors against burnout have affected nursing home workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess the contribution of these factors to their burnout. Three hundred forty professionals who worked in nursing homes in Spain completed a survey and reported on their sociodemographic characteristics and their organisational characteristics of the job related to COVID-19, SOC and burnout. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed. The results showed that the SOC is highly related to the dimensions of burnout and is a protective factor against this. In addition, the increase in hours has a negative effect, facilitating inadequate responses to stressful situations; and whereas perceived social support and availability of resources have a protective effect, the deterioration in mental and physical health is the most important risk factor. This study could help better understand the psychological consequences of the effort that nursing home workers and can also help design mental health prevention and care interventions for workers that provide them with resources and supports that foster their coping skills.
