Abstract

Purpose: To understand nursing home workers' experience during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and investigate the prevalence of health-related quality of life, emotional distress, job satisfaction, and the impact of the pandemic.

Method: The Healthcare Worker Exposure Response and Outcomes (HERO) Registry served as the data source for this descriptive cross-sectional analysis. Recruitment was conducted nationally. Eligible nursing home workers (N = 1,409) enrolled in the study online, self-reported demographic and employment characteristics, and completed electronic surveys.

Results: Nursing home workers reported overall good physical health, frequent depressive symptoms, burnout, and a high prevalence of feeling tired, stressed, having trouble sleeping, and feeling worried. Age and race were found to be positively associated with the impact of the pandemic.

Conclusion: Findings demonstrate the difficulties and challenges nursing home workers faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research needs to evaluate the relationships among nursing home workers' roles, mental health, depressive symptoms, and prevalence of burnout with a larger, more diverse sample.

养老院工作人员在 COVID-19 大流行期间的经历。

目的：了解养老院工作人员在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间的经历，调查与健康相关的生活质量、情绪困扰、工作满意度以及大流行的影响：医护人员暴露反应与结果（HERO）登记处是此次描述性横断面分析的数据来源。招募工作在全国范围内进行。符合条件的疗养院工作人员（N = 1,409）在线注册了研究，自我报告了人口和就业特征，并完成了电子调查：养老院工作人员报告的总体身体健康状况良好，经常出现抑郁症状、职业倦怠，以及感到疲倦、压力、失眠和忧虑的比例较高。年龄和种族与大流行病的影响呈正相关：研究结果表明了护理院工作人员在 COVID-19 大流行期间所面临的困难和挑战。未来的研究需要在更大规模、更多样化的样本中评估养老院工作人员的角色、心理健康、抑郁症状和职业倦怠发生率之间的关系。[老年护理研究》（Research in Gerontological Nursing），17（3），131-140。

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
