Relationship between Coping Strategies and Burnout among Health and Safety Workers in an Algerian Refinery: The Moderating Role of COVID-19 Threat Perception
Full text linkThe current study examined the association between coping strategies and job burnout among health and safety workers of Algerian petroleum refinery, exploring the moderating effect of COVID-19 threat perception. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administrated structured questionnaire between August 2020 and September 2020 among 100 health and safety workers of an Algerian petroleum refinery. Correlations and Moderated linear regressions were used to analyze the data via SPSS V26 and process macro V3.5.3. Results were significant at CI=0.95 and p ≤0.05. The findings indicate that higher problem-focused strategies have been linked to reduced levels of burnout among health and safety workers (B= -4.225, SE= 1.262, p= .001). In contrast, emotion-focused strategies were not related significantly to burnout. COVID-19 threat perception acts as a moderator and mitigates the significant negative relationship between problem-focused strategies and job burnout (B= -1.1947; SE= .4720; p= .0130). This study contributes to new theoretical and empirical perspectives on the relevance of effective coping strategies to tackle burnout at the organizational and individual levels during the COVID-19 pandemic

No full textThe study focused on determining the level of moral distress among nurses in selected hospitals in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Since moral distress is a wide-ranged phenomenon, its magnitude has affected health providers, especially nurses, who are working in a diverse and complex clinical environment. A quantitative correlational design was applied determining socio-demographic profile of the nurse respondents in terms of sex, area of assignment and year of experience and its correlation to their moral distress levels. Their moral distress levels were measured using the moral distress thermometer scale (MDTS). The findings of this research indicated that nurses experience low to moderate level of moral distress and that female nurses are more prone to experience higher levels of moral distress than males. There is also a significant correlation between years of experience, inadequate working condition and the moral distress levels. Further, it has been concluded that this study supports evidences from relevant empirical findings that moral distress is indeed a serious phenomenon affecting nurses and can affect their working condition. Also, moral distress is more common to female nurses and may vary according to the complexity and diversity of their health environment.
