Abstract

Cultivation of self-care is believed to foster more well-being and to mitigate the psychological difficulties that mental health professionals experience. However, how the well-being and psychological distress of these professionals impact their personal self-care practice is rarely discussed. In fact, studies have yet to investigate whether the use of self-care improves mental health, or whether being in a better place psychologically makes professionals more prone to using self-care (or both). The present study aims to clarify the longitudinal associations between self-care practices and five indicators of psychological adjustment (well-being, posttraumatic growth, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue). A sample of 358 mental health professionals were assessed twice (within a 10-month interval). A cross-lagged model tested all associations between self-care and psychological adjustment indicators. Results showed that self-care at T1 predicted increases in well-being and in post-traumatic growth, and a reduction in anxiety and depression at T2. However, only anxiety at T1 significantly predicted greater self-care at T2. No significant cross-lagged associations were found between self-care and compassion fatigue. Overall, findings suggest that implementing self-care is a good way for mental health workers to "take care of themselves." However, more research is needed to understand what leads these workers to use self-care.

自我保健实践与心理健康专业人员心理调整之间的关系:两波交叉滞后分析。
自我照顾的培养被认为可以促进更多的福祉,并减轻心理健康专业人员所经历的心理困难。然而,这些专业人士的幸福感和心理困扰如何影响他们的个人自我保健实践很少被讨论。事实上,研究还没有调查是否使用自我护理可以改善心理健康,或者是否处于一个更好的心理环境会让专业人士更倾向于使用自我护理(或两者兼而有之)。本研究旨在探讨自我护理行为与心理适应五项指标(幸福感、创伤后成长、焦虑、抑郁和同情疲劳)之间的纵向关系。对358名心理健康专业人员的样本进行了两次评估(间隔10个月)。交叉滞后模型检验了自我照顾与心理适应指标之间的所有关联。结果显示,T1时的自我照顾预示着幸福感和创伤后成长的增加,T2时焦虑和抑郁的减少。然而,只有T1的焦虑显著预测T2的自我照顾。在自我照顾和同情疲劳之间没有发现显著的交叉滞后关联。总体而言,研究结果表明,实施自我保健是精神卫生工作者“照顾自己”的好方法。然而,需要更多的研究来了解是什么导致这些员工使用自我护理。

期刊介绍: This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
