“…Due to this growing demand, it is important to consider the needs of professional caregivers in order to ensure that they can provide the best care. Furthermore, the needs of professional caregivers can be framed by the physical and mental/emotional demands of their work [2][3][4][5]. Using both a quantitative and qualitative approach, the Caring for Paid Professional Caregivers Survey research study explored the health status and quality of life of LTC and AL professional caregivers (hereafter "caregivers") in the province of Alberta, Canada, as well as factors predicted to influence these health aspect and caregiver dedication to quality care [6].…”

Background Numerous studies have found negative outcomes between shift work and physical, emotional, and mental health. Many professional caregivers are required to work shifts outside of the typical 9 am to 5 pm workday. Here, we explore whether shift work affects the health and wellbeing of long-term care (LTC) and assisted-living (AL) professional caregivers. Method The Caring for Professional Caregivers research study was conducted across 39 LTC and AL facilities in Alberta, Canada. Of the 1385 questionnaires distributed, 933 surveys (67.4%) were returned completed. After identifying 49 questions that significantly explained variances in the reported health status of caregivers, we examined whether there was a relationship between these questions and reported health status of caregivers working night shifts. Results We found significant differences between responses from those working different shifts across six of seven domains, including physical health, health conditions, mental/emotional health, quality of life, and health behaviors. In particular, we found that night shift caregivers were more likely to report incidents of poor heath (i.e., they lacked energy, had regular presences of neck and back pain, regular or infrequent incidents of fatigue or low energy, had difficulty falling asleep, and that they never do exercise) and less likely to report incidents of good health (i.e., did not expect their health to improve, were not satisfied with their health, do not have high self-esteem/were happy, were unhappy with their physical appearance, and do not get a good night’s sleep), compared to caregivers working other shifts. Conclusions Our study shows that professional caregivers working the night shift experience poor health status, providing further evidence that night shift workers’ health is at risk. In particular, caregivers reported negative evaluations of their physical, mental/emotional health, lower ratings of their quality of life, and negative responses to questions concerning whether they engage in healthy behaviors. Our findings can support healthcare stakeholders outline future policies that ensure caregivers are adequately supported so that they provide quality care.

Título: Salud y burnout de cuidadores profesionales a domicilio: Impacto de una intervención formativa. Resumen: Existe una creciente necesidad de cuidados en los países desarrollados, por lo que el número de cuidadoras a domicilio ha aumentado de manera exponencial. La literatura ha señalado que este grupo profesional tiene un alto riesgo de sufrir una gran variedad de problemas de salud. A pesar de su importancia, no hay cursos de entrenamiento descritos para ellas. Este estudio describe el diseño de un curso psicoeducativo para un grupo de cuidadoras y muestra los resultados de un estudio pre-post para evaluar su efectividad considerando las siguientes variables: el estado psicosocial de salud, el agotamiento y los pensamientos disfuncionales sobre el cuidado. Una ANOVA de medidas repetidas se utilizó siempre que fue posible y la prueba de Wilcoxon o la prueba de Mann Whitney se usaron como pruebas no paramétricas. Los pensamientos disfuncionales se redujeron después del curso, siendo el tamaño del efecto mediano a grande. La disfunción social se redujo solo en el grupo de mujeres que también eran cuidadoras familiares. Llegamos a la conclusión de que las cuidadoras profesionales pueden beneficiarse de una breve capacitación.Abstract: There is a growing need for care in developed countries, so the number of home health care assistants has increased exponentially. The literature has pointed out that this professional group is at high risk for a variety of health problems. Despite its importance, there are no described specific training interventions for it. This study describes a course for a group of female caregivers. A pre-post study is carried out to evaluate its effectiveness considering the following variables: the psychosocial state of health, the burnout and the dysfunctional thoughts about caregiving. The repeated measures ANOVA was used whenever possible and the Wilcoxon-test or the Mann Whitney-test were used as nonparametric tests. Dysfunctional thoughts were reduced after the course, being the effect size medium to large. Social dysfunction was reduced only in the group of women who were also family caregivers. We conclude that professional caregivers can benefit from brief training.

“…A study of critical care nurses in Iran showed that ER training was effective in decreasing occupational stress . Furthermore, it was found that nurses who had difficulty coping or regulating emotions at work experienced depersonalization and emotional exhaustion after work . This negative effect seemed to be higher among nurses with fewer job resources at work .…”

Aim: To explore the concept of emotional regulation in nursing.Background: People are exposed to a variety of potentially emotion-provoking stimuli almost on a daily basis. The fact that these types of stimuli do not trigger full-blown emotions every time suggests that people are able to manage their own emotions through an internal process. The process is referred to as emotional regulation (ER).Nursing is a stressful and emotionally charged profession, yet the concept of ER is not well explored in the nursing literature. Design: Concept analysis. Data Source: Electronic databases searched were CINAHL, PubMed, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar. Forty-one articles were used in the review of this concept, of which six articles were used to review ER in nursing. Most of the articles on ER were from the field of psychology. Review Methods: Walker and Avant's eight-step to concept analysis. Data extracted from the articles were used in identifying the definitions, related concepts, uses of the concept of ER, and antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents.Results: Four defining attributes of ER were identified as self-awareness, control, emotional expression, and active thinking. Definitions, the uses of the concept of ER, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents are discussed. Model, related and contrary cases were developed. Conclusion:The concept of ER has implications and significance to nursing as nurses are exposed to a variety of emotion-provoking situations when performing nursing tasks.
