Research Abstract

In this study, we examined the effects of emotional labor and SOC (Sense of Coherence), which are factors related to burnout and turnover of medical staff. We hypothesized that emotional labor of health workers affects mental health, and SOC was a factor contributing to maintaining mental health of health workers. As a result, physical, emotional, and cognitive work are unavoidable for health care workers, but the emotional labor burden does not necessarily have a significant effect on health. In addition, they also become familiar with coping methods with years of experience. These results suggest that tailor-made intervention focusing on individual sense of coherence may contribute to reducing the burden on healthcare workers.
