Two-period Difference Model Regression Results: Association between Changes in Work Environment and Staffing and Changes in Nurse Outcomes (n=137 hospitals)

Estimate SE P-Value
Burnout
Work Environment −6.42 1.77 <0.01
Staffing −3.63 1.60 0.03
Intention to Leave
Work Environment −4.10 1.24 <0.01
Staffing 0.47 1.13 0.68
Job Dissatisfaction
Work Environment −8.00 1.46 <0.01
Staffing −0.96 1.32 0.47

Regressions control for baseline staffing, work environment, teaching status, bed size, and technology status. Coefficients for work environment/staffing represent the average change in outcome rate associated with a hospital that improved as compared to a hospital that did not change (or a hospital that did not change as compared to one that declined).
