Psychiatric Nurses N = 353; Hospitals N = 67.

Note: Adjusted models controlled for Nurse Characteristics (baccalaureate degree and years of experience) and Hospital Characteristics (bed size, teaching status, and high technology). None of the control variables were significantly related to the outcomes (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment).
