This study aims to explore the phenomenon of languishing among healthcare workers and its impact on their quality of work life, job performance, and coping strategies. Due to the lack of a specific languishing scale, the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) were utilized, with 200 healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) participating in the study. The findings revealed that 47% of the participants exhibited signs of languishing, and this condition was negatively correlated with job satisfaction. Additionally, the results indicated that the languishing experienced by healthcare workers adversely affected their quality of work life and led to a decline in their overall performance.

Bu çalışma sağlık çalışanlarında ruhsal durgunluk (languishing) durumunu ve yaşanan bu durumun çalışanların iş yaşam kalitesi, iş performansı ve sorunlarla başa çıkma stratejileri hakkındaki etkilerini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma için uygulanacak herhangi bir Languishing ölçeği olmadığından, MHC-SF (Mental Health Continuum) ve GHQ-12 (General Health Questionnaire) ölçekleri kullanılmış olup çalışma 200 sağlık çalışanı (doktor, hemşire) üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan anket sonuçlarından elde edilen bulgular sonucunda katılımcıların %47'sinin ruhsal durgunluk belirtileri gösterdiği ve bu durumun iş tatmini ile negatif yönlü bir ilişki içinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Aynı zamanda sonuçlara göre sağlık çalışanlarını yaşadığı ruhsal durgunluk, iş yaşamı kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilemekte ve genel performansını düşmesine neden olmaktadır.
