Note. UNI=univariate logistic regression modeling analysis; MULTI=multivariate logistic regression modeling analysis. Adjusted for highest degree obtained (undergraduate, bachelor’s in nursing/registered nurse, master’s in nursing); employment (part-time, full-time); and years worked in direct patient care. Burnout based on the emotional exhaustion subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory.
