SARS-CoV-2爆发期间意大利医护人员的主观幸福感:一项准实验
意大利是严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型疫情最严重的国家之一,在疫情爆发期间,医疗系统承受着异常的压力。对民众实施的封锁使经济陷入停滞,并为一场将对医疗系统和该国经济产生影响的危机开辟了道路。这项研究比较了医疗保健人员的主观幸福感水平在疫情爆发前和封锁最关键的时刻,意大利是世界上第一个感染人数最多的国家。主观幸福感是用情绪幸福感、工作满意度来衡量的,全球幸福感和生活满意度在疫情爆发前和疫情期间以及不同亚组的受访者之间对每项指标进行了比较。特别关注专业水平、性别和教育水平的不平等及其对主观幸福感的影响。研究发现,虽然情绪幸福感略有下降,在封锁期间,其他措施没有受到影响,工作满意度甚至有所提高。一旦专业人员抗击严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型疫情,基于专业和教育水平不平等的幸福感差异就会消除。不平等的减少和工作满意度的提高可能与对医疗专业人员的新信任密切相关,如PERMA模型所述,民众的高度感激之情以及成就感和意义感这项研究的发现应该有助于医疗保健组织降低不平等现象,并有助于其他组织将这些知识应用到其结构中©2020,《国际福利慈善信托杂志》版权所有
