Multicenter Study of Nursing Role Complexity on Environmental Stressors and Emotional Exhaustion
Among nurses, work and cognitive complexity patterns of care were previously associated with environmental stressors but it is unknown if complexity patterns are also associated with emotional exhaustion. A multicenter sample of hospital nurses (N=281) completed valid, reliable questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multivariable modeling. Registered nurse characteristics did not vary by work setting. Overall mean (standard deviation [SD]) standardized complexity of care score was 45.82 (13.73), reflecting moderate complexity during three-hour work periods. (Source: Applied Nursing Research : ANR)
