Note. CI = Confidence Interval.

a

Fully adjusted models include all variables listed and are adjusted for clustering using generalized estimating equations.

b

Parsimonious models include variables significant at p <.15 using stepwise backwards selection. The models are adjusted for clustering using generalized estimating equations.

c

Referent group is nurses who reported below the midpoint of the subscale.
