Abstract

Childcare providers’ mental health is important for their well-being and its potential impact on turnover and care quality. A systematic review of research (1980–2012) was conducted to investigate the quality and findings of studies on the mental health of centre- and home-based childcare providers. Eighteen articles were identified that examined depression, stress, negative moods or positive mental health. There were risks of bias within most studies (15/18). Qualitative research indicated high provider stress, yet mean scores of perceived stress and depression were low and mental well-being was high. Poor mental health was linked with poor working conditions. Its relationship with care quality was inconclusive; however, higher quality care was consistently related to higher educator mental well-being. This systematic review revealed a limited evidence base largely focused on mental health problems and suggests that sector engagement is essential to advance the mental health of childcare providers.

托儿服务提供者的心理健康:对其患病率、决定因素及其与护理质量关系的系统回顾

托儿服务提供者的心理健康对他们的福祉及其对人员流动和护理质量的潜在影响非常重要。对1980-2012年的研究进行了系统回顾，以调查关于中心和家庭托儿服务提供者心理健康的研究的质量和结果。研究人员确定了18篇研究抑郁、压力、消极情绪或积极心理健康的文章。大多数研究存在偏倚风险(15/18)。定性研究表明，提供者压力较高，但感知压力和抑郁的平均得分较低，心理幸福感较高。不良的精神健康状况与恶劣的工作条件有关。其与护理质量的关系尚无定论;然而，高质量的护理始终与高等教育工作者的心理健康有关。这一系统评价揭示了主要集中于心理健康问题的有限证据基础，并表明部门参与对于促进儿童保育提供者的心理健康至关重要。
