AimTo analyse whether the harmful effect of job demands on recovery can be alleviated by healthy lifestyle, psychological recovery experiences and job resources. We also describe their prevalence among employees in different types of eldercare service and in the health and social services sector in general.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsThe data were collected using a self‐report survey in 2020 in the health and social services sector organizations (n = 4478). Employees were classified as the following service types: general health and social services (N = 3225), home care (N = 452), service housing (N = 550) and outpatient and ward care (N = 202). The data were analysed using percentages, cross‐tabulations and logistic regression analysis.ResultsPoor recovery, high job demands, low appreciation and low autonomy in terms of worktime and breaks were more prevalent in eldercare. Employers could alleviate the risk of high job demands by offering job resources—appreciation, autonomy in terms of worktimes and breaks—and motivating employees to maintain healthy lifestyle habits and use recovery experiences such as relaxation.ConclusionThe study emphasizes the importance of appreciation in the health and social services sector context. Even with moderate levels of appreciation employers can protect employees from poor recovery from work in the demanding health and social services work environment.ImpactEldercare employees face continuous and accumulating work strain at the same time as the sector struggles against a labour shortage. One way to prevent the harmful consequences of strain is to enhance recovery from work.Employers could alleviate the risk of high job demands and poor recovery by showing appreciation and giving employees more autonomy in terms of work time and breaks during the workday. This could also motivate employees to keep up healthy lifestyle habits and use their recovery experiences. Results are important especially in the daily management of HSS work.What Does this Paper Contribute to the wider Global Clinical Community?Managers in the health and social services sector and eldercare can use these findings to promote recovery from work.Reporting MethodSTROBE checklist.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

如何减轻压力对 4478 名卫生和社会服务工作者工作恢复的有害影响？横断面研究

目的分析健康的生活方式、心理康复经历和工作资源是否可以缓解工作要求对康复的有害影响。我们还描述了不同类型老年护理服务以及健康和社会服务部门员工中的普遍情况。设计横断面研究。方法数据是通过 2020 年健康和社会服务部门组织的自我报告调查收集的（n= 4478）。员工被分为以下服务类型：一般健康和社会服务（氮= 3225），家庭护理（氮= 452），服务住房（氮= 550）以及门诊和病房护理（氮= 202）。采用百分比、交叉表和逻辑回归分析等方法对数据进行分析。结果老年护理中恢复不良、工作要求高、欣赏能力低以及工作时间和休息自主权低等现象更为普遍。雇主可以通过提供工作资源（欣赏、工作时间和休息方面的自主权）并激励员工保持健康的生活习惯和利用放松等恢复经验来减轻高工作要求的风险。结论该研究强调了欣赏对健康的重要性和社会服务部门的背景。即使有中等程度的赞赏，雇主也可以保护雇员，使其免受在要求较高的健康和社会服务工作环境中工作后恢复不良的影响。Impact老年护理雇员在该行业努力应对劳动力短缺的同时，也面临着持续和不断累积的工作压力。防止压力造成有害后果的一种方法是加强工作后的恢复。雇主可以通过表达赞赏并在工作日的工作时间和休息方面给予员工更多的自主权来减轻高工作要求和恢复不良的风险。这还可以激励员工保持健康的生活习惯并利用他们的康复经验。结果在 HSS 工作的日常管理中尤其重要。本文对更广泛的全球临床社区有什么贡献？健康和社会服务部门以及老年护理部门的管理者可以利用这些发现来促进工作恢复。报告方法 STROBE 检查表。患者或公共捐款没有患者或公共捐款。
