Self‐transcendence, caring and their associations with well‐being

Abstract

Aims To examine the relationship between nursing staffs’ self‐transcendence and well‐being in long‐term care facilities and to investigate the mediating role of caring behaviours in the aforementioned relationship. Background Factors associated with the well‐being of healthcare providers influence the quality of care delivered. Although an increasing number of studies have shed light on the relationship between self‐transcendence and subjective well‐being, little is known of the mediating effect of caring behaviour in this relationship. Design The cross‐sectional design applied in this study included a questionnaire survey of long‐term care facilities. Methods Structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation was used for empirical analysis of survey data obtained from 276 nurses and nurse‐aids in 55 long‐term care facilities. A bootstrapping method was used to analyse mediating effects. Results Tests of the measurement model and hypothesized model showed an adequate goodness of fit to the sample data. The results showed that nursing staffs’ self‐transcendence was related to their caring behaviours and well‐being. Moreover, caring behaviours partially mediated the relationship between self‐transcendence and well‐being. Conclusion Our findings provide insight into the influence of self‐transcendence and caring behaviours on the well‐being of nursing staffs in long‐term care settings. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of circumstances national wide.

Factors Affecting the Meaning in Life of Teachers

“…These findings support and reinforce previous findings (Schnell, 2011;Monasterio & Cloninger, 2019;Hwang et al, 2019;Pulfrey & Butera, 2019;Verhaeghen, 2019;Bishop, 2017;Levenson et al, 2005;Haugan et al, 2016) that self-transcendence variable has a positive effect and is an intervening factor on one's meaning in life. People with high level of self-transcendence, tend to have a high meaning in life, and vice versa.…”

A Study of Personal Values, Sociocultural Adaptation And Subjective Well-Being From the Perspective of Refugees in the Time of Covid19 Pandemic

“…The research findings on refugees offered some support for the proposal derived from the principle of self-determination (Ryan and Deci, 2001) that some principles may be considered to enhance personal well-being uniformly, while others undermine it. Our findings concerning H1 were in line with the literature (see Hwang, Tu, & Chan, 2019;. Further, Malaysia is ranked at the top for healthcare responses during COVID19, based on the latest WHO survey (2020).…”

Clarifying the concept of the four‐season symphony (I SEA) in nursing practice: A Wilson's approach to concept analysis

“…Personal transcendence can facilitate the caring behavior. Internal resources, such as reflective practice, emotional regulation, and intentional consciousness may involve personal transcendence, which facilitates integration of complex and conflicting elements of living and helps a person to organize challenges into a meaningful system for improving caring for others 69 …”
