Abstract
OLIVEIRA, Lila Gonçalves and SALA ESCARRABILL, Roser. Importance of individual and organizational resilience for the occupational health of healthcare workers. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.2, pp.151-160. Epub Sep 13, 2021. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objectives:
Individual resilience refers to the personal qualities that allow to thrive in the face of adversity. Organizational resilience is the ability of an organization to survive and grow stronger in times of crisis. Both variables can play a positive role in the health of healthcare employees, especially in the current context of a pandemic. The main objective is to explore the impact of individual and organizational resilience on occupational health. A cross-sectional study was carried out with validated questionnaires. The sample consisted of 311 professionals from two hospitals in the Barcelona region. The results indicate that higher individual resilience is related to less fatigue, less disease and greater job satisfaction. In turn, a higher perception of organizational resilience has a significant impact on job satisfaction. These results confirm the importance of considering resilience in intervention plans to improve occupational health in the health field.
