Abstract: Medical social workers in mainland China encounter numerous structural challenges that could adversely affect their professional quality of life (ProQOL). This study seeks to investigate the correlation between ProQOL classification, resilience, and perceived health. A total of 319 medical social workers participated by completing questionnaires designed to assess their levels of ProQOL, resilience, and perceived health. The analysis of ProQOL clusters based on perceived health and resilience revealed that the career satisfied group exhibited higher perceived health scores (M = 4.05, SD = 0.99) and resilience scores (M = 6.43, SD = 1.33) compared with the trauma thriving group and the compassion fatigue group. These findings underscore potential risk factors for physical health, resilience, and the three dimensions of ProQOL among various demographic variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
