El bienestar de los especialistas en Tecnología de la Información ucranianos durante el tiempo de guerra: explorando el papel de los recursos internos de resiliencia
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La invasión rusa a Ucrania en 2022 impactó el bienestar subjetivo de los especialistas en Tecnología de la Información ucranianos, desafiando sus recursos internos de resiliencia, como la creencia en un mundo justo y la plenitud existencial. Este estudio exploratorio investiga cómo las condiciones de guerra influyen en sus recursos internos y bienestar subjetivo. Participaron dos muestras independientes en dos momentos temporales, 80 especialistas en 2021, antes de la invasión (42.5% mujeres; M = 35.33; DT = 7.77) y 77 en 2022, durante la guerra (48.05% mujeres; M = 34.48 años; DT = 7.43). Se realizaron análisis de moderación y mediación. Se observó una disminución del bienestar subjetivo y recursos internos, con excepción de la creencia en un mundo justo. La edad y el género moderaron cambios inducidos por la guerra en el malestar emocional y realización existencial, disminuyendo esta última en dos grupos: mujeres mayores de 35 y hombres menores de 35. El malestar emocional aumentó en mujeres mayores de 35. El análisis de mediación mostró que la plenitud existencial y la creencia personal en un mundo justo mediaban la relación entre el estrés de la guerra y el bienestar subjetivo, y el efecto de la creencia general en un mundo justo sobre el bienestar. Estos resultados sugieren que el apoyo para mantener el cumplimiento existencial y la creencia personal en un mundo justo puede ser esencial para fortalecer el bienestar de estos especialistas en condiciones de guerra, particularmente para grupos vulnerables por edad y género.
