摘要

Background

Healthcare professionals experience high levels of burnout and chronic stress, which further jeopardizes their optimism and mental resilience.

Methods

The study involved 175 health professionals (46 doctors, 56 nurses, 27 nursing assistants, 23 ward assistants, 23 paramedical workers) of the Sismanogleio General Hospital of Athens, aged 26-65. Participants were administered an electronic questionnaire, which included socio-demographic data and work-related information, the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISK-25). The data analysis was conducted using SPSS, with Descriptive and Inferential Statistics methods.

Results

The results reveal moderate levels of mental resilience (Mean=65.23, Std. Dev.=15.44) and moderate levels of optimism (Mean=12.75, Std. Dev.=2.89) among participants. Health professionals’ levels of optimism are positively correlated with their levels of mental resilience (rho = 0.208, p = 0.006). The levels of optimism and mental resilience do not differ according to gender, marital status, or years of work experience (p = 0.612, p = 0.458, p = 0.214, respectively), but differ according to age (p < 0.001). Health professionals aged 60+ show the highest levels of mental resilience, while paramedical workers demonstrate greater optimism compared to physicians.

Conclusions

The development of targeted training and support programs aimed at strengthening optimism and mental resilience among healthcare professionals may be beneficial.
