This article reports a wait list control design study on the influence of an online meditation training program for geriatric social workers (GSWs) in a range of adult day care facilities across eight Asian and African cities. Results indicated that the online program was effective in building resilience and promoting job satisfaction among the intervention group. The program was more effective for participants from Asian cities, women, Hindus, and Buddhists working in transitional day care facilities and regularly logging into the self-practice sessions. Self-practice was an important mediator determining the relationship between demographic predictors and outcomes. This synchronous and asynchronous online program can be used by GSWs with some modifications for participants from African cities; men; Muslims and Christians; and those working in active adult, palliative, and memory care facilities. Refinements may entail adding familiar spiritual ideologies, some activities for men involving greater verbalization of feelings and emotions linked to the work, and intensive exercises addressing specific challenges of workers in palliative and memory care facilities.

成人日托机构中的老年社会工作者：冥想、工作者的韧性和工作满意度

本文报告了一项候补名单控制设计研究，研究了针对老年社会工作者 (GSW) 的在线冥想培训计划在八个亚洲和非洲城市的一系列成人日托机构中的影响。结果表明，在线计划在干预组中有效地建立复原力和提高工作满意度。该计划对来自亚洲城市的参与者、妇女、印度教徒和佛教徒在过渡日托机构工作并定期登录自我练习会更有效。自我练习是决定人口统计学预测因素和结果之间关系的重要中介因素。这个同步和异步在线程序可供 GSW 使用，但对来自非洲城市的参与者进行了一些修改；男人；穆斯林和基督徒；以及那些在活跃的成人、姑息治疗和记忆护理机构工作的人。改进可能需要添加熟悉的精神意识形态，一些针对男性的活动，涉及与工作相关的感受和情绪的更多语言表达，以及针对姑息和记忆护理设施中工人的特定挑战的强化练习。
