本研究探讨了不同的应对模式如何影响为智障人士提供服务的项目中工作人员的心理困扰。通过一系列路径模型，我们检查了两种不同的应对模型（分别是交易模型和心理灵活性模型）中的构建（即一厢情愿和心理僵化）作为中介的相对有用性，以解释工作场所压力源如何导致为智障人士服务的工作人员的心理困扰。分析涉及来自美国南部一个由国家资助的大型智力和身体残疾人居住项目的 128 名工作人员（84% 为女性；71% 为非裔美国人）的自我报告问卷。使用引导标准误差和置信区间的横截面路径模型揭示，当工作压力源和心理困扰包含在单独的模型中时，一厢情愿的想法和心理僵化介导了工作场所压力源和心理困扰之间的关系。然而，当这两个变量都包含在多重中介模型中时，只有心理僵化仍然是重要的中介变量。结果表明，心理不灵活性和心理灵活性模型对于进一步调查智力障碍环境中工作场所相关压力的原因和改善可能特别有用。 (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The present study examined how different patterns of coping influence psychological distress for staff members in programs serving individuals with intellectual disabilities. With a series of path models, we examined the relative usefulness of constructs (i.e., wishful thinking and psychological inflexibility) from two distinct models of coping (i.e., the transactional model and the psychological flexibility models, respectively) as mediators to explain how workplace stressors lead to psychological distress in staff serving individuals with intellectual disabilities. Analyses involved self-report questionnaires from 128 staff members (84% female; 71% African American) from a large, state-funded residential program for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities in the southern United States of America. Cross-sectional path models using bootstrapped standard errors and confidence intervals revealed both wishful thinking and psychological inflexibility mediated the relation between workplace stressors and psychological distress when they were included in separate models. However, when both variables were included in a multiple mediator model, only psychological inflexibility remained a significant mediator. The results suggest psychological inflexibility and the psychological flexibility model may be particularly useful for further investigation on the causes and amelioration of workplace-related stress in ID settings.
