Stress and coping of direct care workers serving adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Stress and coping of direct care workers serving adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities. - 237 p.

Adviser: Naoko Muramatsu.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Chicago, Health Sciences Center, 2008.

Direct care work with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) can be a very stressful profession, due to heavy workload, client care and guidance, conflicting job roles, and lack of ownership in the organizational decision-making process. Though direct care workers (DCWs) serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) serve as caregivers and key role models for adults with ID/DD, work stress can impede capacities. Support from supervisors and coworkers (work social support), personal control beliefs, and health promoting self-efficacy can help DCWs to cope with the stress.

520 $a Direct care work with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) can be a very stressful profession, due to heavy workload, client care and guidance, conflicting job roles, and lack of ownership in the organizational decision-making process. Though direct care workers (DCWs) serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) serve as caregivers and key role models for adults with ID/DD, work stress can impede capacities. Support from supervisors and coworkers (work social support), personal control beliefs, and health promoting self-efficacy can help DCWs to cope with the stress.
520 $a We examined (1) how work stress was related to outcomes of depression, burnout, and intentions to quit the job, and (2) how resources of work social support, locus of control, and health promotion self-efficacy were related to these outcomes, particularly for workers experiencing different stress levels. In addition, we considered (3) how worker sociodemographic and work-related characteristics were associated with work stress, to understand who is at greatest risk for work stress.
520 $a DCWs (n = 323) who serve adults with ID/DD from five community-based organizations which provide residential, vocational, and personal/respite/foster care services completed a cross-sectional, self-administered survey. A series of multiple regression analyses were then conducted to examine both the additive and interaction effects of work stress (global and sub-dimension measures) and resources on study outcomes.
520 $a Work stress was associated with higher levels of depression, burnout, and intention to quit. Social support at work was related to lower levels of depression and intention to quit the job, and internal control beliefs and exercise and dietary self-efficacy to lower levels of depression. The resources of work social support and locus of control moderated dimensions of work stress. Furthermore, having supervisory responsibilities was associated with higher levels of work stress.
520 $a These findings can lead to a better understanding of what types of work stress are most amenable to moderation by certain resources, and which direct care staff are at risk for specific types of work stressors. They can also inform theory development and interventions for direct care workers.
