Objective:To explore the occupational adaptability of psychiatric medical caregivers from the perspective of a composite ecosystem.Methods:Using purposive sampling combining with snowball sampling and based on ecosystem theory, an interview outline was set up to conduct semi-structured interviews with psychiatric medical caregivers from October to December 2023. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to extract the themes.Results:Totally 15 psychiatric medical caregivers aged 44-61 years, 4 males and 11 females. There were three themes in the study: microsystems-changes in cognition, emotion, and physical and mental health; mid-level system-support and difficulties for families, hospitals, and nursing staff institutions; the macro system-social psychological support system was lacking.Conclusions:Psychiatric medical caregivers lack professional knowledge, have more negative emotions in their emotional experiences, and have a serious lack of mental health support systems. There are biases and misunderstandings towards them in society. It is recommended that managers pay attention to the physical and mental health of psychiatric caregivers and improve their work adaptability.

Objective:To investigate the extent and characteristics of parenting stress experienced by fathers of children aged 0-6 in three provinces of Eastern China, and to compare the quality of their marital relationships within each latent class, in order to provide reference for developing intervention strategies for different categories of fathers.Methods:Using cross-sectional survey methods, fathers with children aged 0-6 years were recruited using convenience sampling from December 2020 to March 2021 from Anhui province, Zhejiang province and Jiangsu province in Eastern China. Data were collected through a general information questionnaire, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, and the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale.Latent profile analysis was used to determine the classification, Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the difference of marital quality. Results:A total of 657 questionnaires were distributed and 604 valid questionnaires were recovered. The age of 604 fathers was (32.50 ± 6.26) years, the score of parenting stress was (89.70 ± 17.87) and the score of marriage quality was (108.36 ± 22.28). The characteristics of parenting stress among fathers of young children were categorized into three latent profile types: "high stress-negative parenting group" (88 people accounting for 14.6%), " medium stress- poor interaction group" (329 people accounting for 54.5%), and " low stress-positive parenting group" (187 people accounting for 30.9%). The scores of marriage quality were (99.94 ± 23.81), (106.52 ± 19.84), (115.56 ± 23.70) points among these three latent classes with significant differences ( H=35.89, P<0.05). Conclusions:The study identifies three latent classes of parenting stress among fathers of children aged 0-6, each associated with varying levels of marriage quality. Therefore, targeted interventions aimed at improving fathers′ parenting stress and marriage quality, and helping create family environments where children can grow up healthy.
