Skrb in nega starejših svojcev postajata čedalje pogostejši izziv delovne populacije. Ob tem se pričakuje, da bo število zaposlenih, ki morajo tovrstne obveznosti usklajevati z delovnimi, naraščalo. Dozdajšnje raziskave so se osredotočale predvsem na negativne izide omenjenega usklajevanja, vezane na blagostanje in zdravje posameznika, pri tem pa so bili prezrti pozitivni izidi ter pogojevalci in posredovalci, ki povečajo verjetnost za take pozitivne izide. V tem preglednem članku so povzeti dejavniki telesnega, socialnega in duševnega blagostanja iz posameznikovega delovnega in zasebnega življenja, osebne lastnosti in sociokulturni kontekst, njihova obravnava pa izhaja iz teorije zahtev in virov in ekološkosistemske teorije. V pregled relevantne literature je bilo vključenih 22 člankov, objavljenih med letoma 2017 in 2024. Iz rezultatov je razvidno, da se zahteve tako v zasebnem življenju kot na delovnem mestu negativno povezujejo z dejavniki blagostanja. Ob tem pa se viri na obeh omenjenih področjih pričakovano pozitivno povezujejo z dejavniki blagostanja. Prispevek obravnava tudi kontekst, v katerem so bile izvedene raziskave ter pogojevalce in posredovalce med omenjenimi dejavniki in izidi ter s tem prispeva k celostnemu razumevanju blagostanja zaposlenih z obveznostmi oskrbe in nege starejših svojcev, poleg tega odpira nove priložnosti za raziskovanje te rastoče skupine zaposlenih.
