Abstract

The study addresses the mental stress and resources of care workers in general and in a job-related context. In May 2021, 103 care workers from stationary facilities were surveyed using the BSCL, the ERI and the BGW questionnaire. 35% of nurses showed psychological distress and had fewer structural and human resources than the ERI comparison sample. Significant differences in workloads and resources were evident between trainees and trainers in different nursing practice areas. The study results suggest a need for action to provide mental health support and point to more specific adaptation of preventive measures.
