Abstract:While the literature on well-being has largely explored workers in different industries, and much has been written about patient well-being and quality of life in recent years, little attention has focused on the well-being of healthcare professionals. This study aims to provide a relevant state-of-the-art on the healthcare sector within the context of well-being. The paper employs a systematic literature review, following the PRISMA guidelines, to find relevant studies; the analysis of results is then provide… Show more
“…The study emphasizes the importance of cognitive flexibility in the relation between self-confidence and psychological well-being. Factors influencing psychological well-being have attracted considerable attention over the last ten years (Huppert, 2009;Kim, 2005;Nirmala, Valarmathi, Venkataraman, Kanniammal, and Arulappan, 2018;Tomo & De Simone, 2017). Thanks to a better understanding of the factors affecting psychological well-being and developing a comprehensive program, such as cognitive and psychological flexibility, self-confidence, self-compassion, such findings may be integrated to various assistance programs aimed at enhancing psychological well-being.…”
This study examined the role of self-confidence and cognitive flexibility in psychological well-being. The study looked into whether cognitive flexibility mediates the relationship between self-confidence and psychological well-being. The study involved the participation of 284 university students (192 female and 92 male) enrolled in the Faculty of Education at a private university in Istanbul, Turkey. Data was collected via the Self- Confidence Scale, Flourishing Scale and Cognitive Flexibility Scale. The results of our multiple regression analysis revealed that self-confidence and cognitive flexibility statistically predict psychological well-being. Self-confidence and cognitive flexibility were found to explain 38% of the variance in psychological well-being. Furthermore, cognitive flexibility served as a mediator in the relationship between self-confidence and psychological well-being.

“…19 Personal factors, such as physical exhaustion and anxiety, negatively affect the global happiness of healthcare workers. [20][21][22] Organisational/context-related factors, such as job tasks, relationships with colleagues and superiors, and lack of safety, also impact the global happiness of healthcare workers. [22][23][24][25] Previous studies have illustrated that job satisfaction and global happiness affect the quality of care provided by care staff through job commitment.…”

[22][23][24][25] Previous studies have illustrated that job satisfaction and global happiness affect the quality of care provided by care staff through job commitment. 26 Care communities with highly committed staff members endeavour to integrate the wishes, preferences and care needs of residents by respecting their privacy, dignity, comfort and choice in various activities.…”
ObjectivesThere is growing concern regarding quality of work life (QWL) among care staff in nursing homes. However, little is known about the impact of QWL on nursing home residents’ functional performance. Recent literature suggests that job satisfaction and happiness of healthcare workers reflect their perceived QWL and impact the quality of their care. This study examined the association between job satisfaction and global happiness with change in functional performance of severely disabled elderly residents in nursing homes.DesignA retrospective cohort study of nursing home residents combined with a questionnaire survey of their care staff.SettingEighteen nursing homes in Japan.ParticipantsData were collected from 1000 residents with a required care level of 3–5 and from 412 care staff in nursing homes between October 2017 and March 2018.Outcomes and explanatory variablesFunctional performance was structurally assessed with ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) staging, composed of 52 items concerning activities of daily life, cognitive function and social participation, at baseline and 6 months later. Deterioration and improvement of functional performance were dichotomously defined as such change in any of the items. QWL of care staff was evaluated with a questionnaire including questions about job satisfaction and global happiness.ResultsFunctional performance deteriorated and improved in 23.0% and 12.7% of residents, respectively. Global happiness of care staff was associated with lower probability of residents’ deterioration (adjusted OR, 0.61; CI 0.44 to 0.84). There was no significant correlation between job satisfaction or happiness of care staff and improvement of residents’ functional performance.ConclusionThese results suggest that QWL of care staff is associated with changes in functional performance of elderly people with severe disabilities in nursing homes.
“…With reference to the specific health care context, along with other factors generally acknowledged to affect employee well-being, other specific factors are found to negatively affect employee well-being (Tomo and De Simone, 2017). Previous literature that analyzed well-being in the health care context is summarized as follows in Table 1 Tepas et al, 2004) lack of recovering time and energy (e.g.…”

Sleep disorders comprise the factor that is specifically highlighted with respect to healthcare workers (Poissonnet & Véron, 2000;Rose & Glass, 2009), especially considering the effects of night shift-work and difficult work schedules.…”

Literature is increasingly recognizing that organizations must combine themes of care and concern with more established economic objectives. This conceptual study will expand on this literature by considering how expressions of organizational care toward employees, by improving their well-being, may influence their motivation, work involvement and, in turn, improve performance. In more detail, by extending the conceptual framework developed by Bonner & Sprinkle (2001), it is argued that managers should take into account the impact, not only of monetary and non-monetary incentives, but even of other caring policies, on employee motivation and performance outcomes. On this ground, this study develops a theoretical model on how organizational care may help employees in expressing their work potential and enhancing their performance. The model is developed within the health care context since its particular setting that strongly affects employees' well-being.
