Abstract

This study explored the subjective well-being of hospital volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic from a mental health perspective using a health care system sustainability perspective, and adopted the purposive sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey. A total of 520 questionnaires were distributed, and 500 questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 96.1%. Of the recovered questionnaires, 43 invalid questionnaires were eliminated, and 457 valid questionnaires were collected, for a valid recovery rate of 91.4%. The data analysis method explored the variable path analysis through descriptive analysis and structural equation modeling. In addition, new data analysis methods have been added to explore the variable path analysis, such as descriptive analysis, discriminant validity, mediation effects, and structural equation modeling. The results show that: (1) the work resources of the hospital volunteers exerted a significant impact on their subjective well-being; (2) the work resources of the hospital volunteers exerted no significant impact on their flow experience; (3) the work resources of the hospital volunteers exerted a significant impact on their leisure involvement; (4) the leisure involvement of the hospital volunteers exerted no significant impact on their subjective well-being; (5) the leisure involvement of the hospital volunteers exerted a significant impact on their flow experience; (6) the flow experience of the hospital volunteers exerted no significant impact on their subjective well-being; and (7) the leisure involvement of the hospital volunteers exerted a mediating effect between work resources and flow experience.
