摘要

基督教事工的工作可以令人满足，但也有让人精疲力竭的风险。尽管有研究记录了神职人员的压力和健康状况，但很少有问卷调查能衡量神职人员的职业倦怠或健康状况。为了填补这一空白，我们开发了积极方面(PAI)和消极方面(NAI)清单。这些问卷测量了积极和消极方面的事工生活的强度和频率。本研究进一步验证了PAI和NAI的可行性。验证性因子分析表明，17个因子最能代表PAI，而12个因子最能表征NAI。重要的是，PAI和NAI得分与倦怠指数之间的相关模式表明了不同的倦怠模式。此外，探索性测试的PAI和NAI分数按性别，协调地位，和年在部委显示关键差异。本研究促进了对神职人员健康的理解，并对评估和干预具有启示意义。

The Complexity of Assessing Ministry-Specific Satisfaction and Stress

Christian ministry work can be gratifying, but it also carries a risk of burnout. Despite research documenting clergy stress and wellness, few questionnaires measure ministry life aspects that contribute to clergy burnout or wellness. To fill this gap, we developed the positive aspects (PAI) and negative aspects (NAI) inventories. These questionnaires measure the intensity and frequency of positive and negative aspects of ministry life. The present research further tests the viability of the PAI and NAI. Confirmatory factor analyses suggest that the PAI is best represented by 17 factors, whereas 12 factors best characterize the NAI. Importantly, correlation patterns between PAI and NAI scores and indices of burnout suggest distinct patterns of burnout. Furthermore, exploratory tests of PAI and NAI scores by gender, ordination status, and years in ministry demonstrated crucial differences. This research advances the understanding of clergy wellness and has implications for assessment and intervention.
