Abstract

Aims: This study aims to verify the association between nurses' perception of the meaningfulness of their work and their pleasure in working, and whether this relationship may change based on the level of deep acting performed to cope with emotional regulation demands and the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the healthcare work.

Methods: Nurses from both private and public Italian institutions (N = 239) completed an online questionnaire between June 2021 and January 2022. A moderated moderation model was tested through SPSS Process macro. The design is cross-sectional.

Results: The results show that the perception of meaningfulness of work is positively associated with pleasure in working, especially in conditions of high deep acting. This relationship is further moderated by the COVID-19 influence so that the association between meaningful work and pleasure in working is stronger in conditions of high COVID-19 influence and at higher levels of deep acting performed.

Conclusion: Perceiving one's work as meaningful can be a job resource that protects nurses from the negative effects of emotional regulation demands and even from the stress of dealing with COVID-19.

Impact: The study addresses the problem of nurses' emotional regulation demands at work and evaluates the protective role of meaningful work. The findings could be useful for planning prevention interventions (through training in adaptive emotional regulation strategies) or protection interventions (through the promotion of effective coping strategies and the stimulation of one's work engagement).

有意义的工作、工作的乐趣以及深层行为和COVID-19对护士工作的调节作用。
目的:本研究旨在验证护士对工作意义感的感知与工作愉悦感之间的关联,以及这种关系是否会因应对情绪调节需求的深度表演水平和新冠肺炎疫情对医护工作的影响而改变。方法:来自意大利私立和公立机构的护士(N = 239)在2021年6月至2022年1月期间完成了一份在线问卷。通过SPSS Process宏对有调节的调节模型进行检验。设计是横断面的。结果:结果表明,工作意义感与工作愉悦感呈正相关,尤其是在高深度行为条件下。COVID-19的影响进一步缓和了这一关系,因此,在COVID-19影响程度高的情况下和深度行为水平较高的情况下,有意义的工作和工作乐趣之间的关联更强。结论:认为自己的工作有意义是一种工作资源,可以保护护士免受情绪调节需求的负面影响,甚至免受应对COVID-19的压力。影响:本研究探讨护士在工作中的情绪调节需求问题,并评估有意义工作的保护作用。研究结果可能有助于规划预防干预措施(通过适应性情绪调节策略的培训)或保护干预措施(通过促进有效的应对策略和刺激个人的工作投入)。
