The objective was to develop and evaluate a model that examines the mediating role of the meaning of work in a multidisciplinary group of palliative care professionals. Using this model, the authors sought to assess the relationships between meaning of work, perceived stress, personal protective factors (optimism, self-esteem, life satisfaction, personal growth, subjective vitality), and sociodemographic variables. They suggest their findings could have highly relevant practical implications for designing programs to promote the psychological well-being of healthcare professionals.
