中年婦女職業倦怠與身心健康狀況之研究

Occupational Burnout on Physical and Psychological Health Conditions in Middle-Aged Women

本研究目的乃探討中年婦女不同背景下工作活力、職業倦怠、生命凝聚成、憂鬱狀況之探討，並 提出具體且有益身心健康之社會支持。採橫斷式研究及立意抽樣方法，調查對象為299 位臺灣地區 40 至 65 歲的中年婦女，研究期間為2018年9月至11月份。研究結果顯示，中年婦女生命凝聚感在55歲（含） 以上為最低，教育程度較高者自覺健康狀況好、生命凝聚感也較佳，自覺健康狀況不佳者職業倦怠與憂 警狀況較高；職業倦怠與憂鬱狀況呈正相關，但與工作活力及生命凝聚感呈負相關，生命凝聚感與工作 活力呈正相關，但與憂鬱狀況呈負相關，工作活力則與憂鬱狀況呈現負相關，以及提供社會支持及降低職業倦怠策略。未來研究建議可採縱貫型研究，與職場、醫療院所合作更進一步监测中年婦女職業倦怠。

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between work vigor, burnout, sense of coherence, depression and provide the applicable options of social support for middle-aged women. We conducted a cross-sectional study with purposive sampling and enrolled 299 middle-aged women aged 40 to 65 in Taiwan from September to November, 2018. The results showed that middle-aged women have the lowest sense of cohesion at or older than age 55, and those with higher educational levels have better self-rated health and sense of coherence. Those with poor self-rated health have higher burnout and depression. Burnout is positively correlated with depression, but reversely correlated with work vigor and sense of coherence. Sense of coherence is positively related to work vigor, but reversely associated with depression. The higher work vigor middle-aged women had, the lower depression they could have. These findings may contribute to social support and burnout-reduced strategies. Longitudinal study design is suggested for future research. The cooperation with workplace and medical institutions to monitor the burnout of middle-aged women is also recommended.
