Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of moral resilience of elderly care workers in elderly care institutions and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 225 elderly care workers from 7 private elderly care institutions in Zhangzhou City were selected from Sep 2023 to Nov 2023 by convenience sampling.The general information questionnaire,Rushton moral resilience scale(RMRS),nurses'moral dilemma scale,nurses'moral courage scale,social support rating scale(SSRS),and hospital ethical atmosphere scale were used to investigate.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of moral resilience with moral dilemma,moral courage,social support and ethical climate.Generalized linear regression was used to analyze the main factors affecting the moral resilience of elderly care workers.Results:The total score of moral resilience of elderly care workers in elderly care institutions was 41.00(35.00,47.00).Spearman correlation analysis showed that moral resilience was positively correlated with moral dilemma score and moral courage score(r=0.364 and 0.279,respectively,P＜0.01),and weakly correlated with social support score and ethical atmosphere score(P＞0.05).Generalized linear regression showed that moral courage and moral dilemma were the influencing factors of moral resilience of elderly care workers in elderly care institutions(β=0.041 and 0.216,respectively,P＜0.01).Conclusions:The moral resilience of elderly care workers in elderly care institutions is at a medium level.Managers of elderly care institutions should formulate corresponding measures to improve the ability of elderly care workers to deal with moral dilemmas,enhance the inherent potential of moral courage,and then improve the moral resilience of elderly care workers.
