Resumen
[EN]Abstract
Aims and Objectives: This paper aims to examine the satisfaction and depressed
mood experienced by nursing home workers during the COVID-19
pandemic and associated
variables. Specifically, to analyse the factors that may contribute to nursing
home workers developing adaptive behaviours that promote satisfaction or, on the
contrary, show characteristics associated with a negative mood.
Background: Nursing homes have faced unprecedented pressures to provide appropriately
skills to meet the demands of the coronavirus outbreak.
Design: A cross-sectional
survey design using the STROBE checklist.
Methods: Professionals working in nursing homes (n = 165) completed an online survey
measuring sociodemographic and professional characteristics, burnout, resilience,
experiential avoidance, satisfaction with life and depression. Data were collected online
from April to July 2021, the time in which Spain was experiencing its fifth wave of
COVID-19.
Two multiple linear regression models were performed to identify salient
variables associated with depressive mood and satisfaction.
Results: Resilience, personal accomplishment and satisfaction had a significant and
negative relationship with depression and emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation
and experiential avoidance had a positive relationship with depression. However,
emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and experiential avoidance had a negative
and significant relationship with satisfaction and personal accomplishment, and resilience
had a positive and significant relationship with satisfaction. In addition, it was
found that accepting thoughts and emotions when they occur is beneficial for developing
positive outcomes such as satisfaction.
Conclusions: Experiential avoidance was an important predictor of the effects that
the COVID-19
pandemic can have on nursing home workers.
Relevance to Clinical Practice: Interventions focusing on resources that represent
personal strengths, such as acceptance, resilience and personal accomplishment,
should be developed.
No Patient or Public Contribution: The complex and unpredictable circumstances
of COVID's strict confinement in the nursing home prohibited access to the centres for external personnel and family members. Contact with the professionals involved
could not be made in person but exclusively through online systems. However, professionals
related to the work environment have subsequently valued this research
positively as it analyses ‘How they felt during this complicated process’.
