Introduction: This paper addresses the psychological constructs of resilience, anxiety, professional burnout and stress coping strategies among employees of Nursing Homes.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between psychological resilience, occupational burnout, coping strategies, and sense of anxiety among Nursing Homes.
Material and methods: Employees of Nursing Homes in Poland were included in the study. A total of 173 people took part in the study. Four questionnaires were used to measure variables: CISS (coping styles with stress), ER89 (resilience), GAD-7 (sense of anxiety), LBQ (job burnout) and a self-administered tool - a metric.
Results: Psychological resilience and task style of coping with stress are negative predictors for occupational burnout and its components. There is also a significant difference in perceived anxiety and occupational burnout in the different types of Nursing Homes.
Conclusions: It was found that the higher the level of resilience, the lower the level of burnout. The study also showed that task-based coping style negatively correlates with professional burnout. At the same time, the trend is the opposite in the other stress coping styles. Respondents with higher levels of avoidant style and emotional style, had higher levels of job burnout. Employees of Nursing Homes for the intellectually disabled and the elderly had the highest levels of anxiety.
