| F1: Self-endangering cognitions | 1. I find it difficult to say no to my leaders when I have to fill in for colleagues. | 0.84 | 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.08 | 0.78 |
| 2. I find it difficult to say no to my colleagues when I have to fill in for them. | 0.88 | 0.03 | 0.05 | −0.08 | 0.77 | |
| 3. I have a hard time saying no on the phone when asked if I can fill in. | 0.92 | −0.04 | −0.05 | 0.07 | 0.85 | |
| 4. I find it difficult in personal contact (e.g., directly at work) to say no when asked if I can fill in. | 0.96 | −0.02 | 0.02 | −0.03 | 0.91 | |
| 5. I feel bad for the residents if I don’t fill in. | 0.57 | 0.00 | 0.07 | 0.16 | 0.46 | |
| 6. When I fill in for others and give up my free time, I feel guilty towards my family/friends. | 0.50 | 0.14 | −0.11 | −0.12 | 0.26 | |
| F2: Self-endangering behavior | 7. In the last four weeks I have been asked to fill in for other colleagues. | −0.02 | 0.96 | −0.01 | −0.02 | 0.90 |
| 8. For the past four weeks, I've been filling in on my time-off days. | −0.01 | 0.80 | −0.02 | 0.14 | 0.69 | |
| 9. In the last four weeks, I have had to switch shifts at short notice (e.g., instead of an early shift, I took on a late shift the next day). | 0.10 | 0.61 | 0.12 | −0.12 | 0.42 | |
| F3: Self-endangering expectations | 10. In order to take good care of the residents, my colleagues should put their own physical and mental health second. | 0.14 | 0.02 | 0.73 | −0.07 | 0.57 |
| 11. If a shift needs to be covered, I expect my colleagues to step in, even if they have to change private plans to do so. | −0.07 | −0.03 | 0.93 | 0.11 | 0.91 | |
| 12. When staff is absent, my colleagues should step in to save other colleagues’ weekends/time off. | 0.03 | 0.08 | 0.70 | −0.07 | 0.49 | |
| F4: Self-endangering behavior tendencies | 13. If a shift needs to be covered, I would fill in to make sure the residents are well taken care of. | −0.01 | 0.00 | −0.05 | 0.79 | 0.58 |
| 14. If a shift needs to be covered, I would fill in, even if it means changing private plans. | 0.06 | 0.04 | 0.08 | 0.93 | 0.99 | |
