Stratified analysis by baseline musculoskeletal injury status (cases vs. referents) and job group (nurses vs. others): multivariable associations of psychosocial factors at baseline interview with subsequent new or recurrent injury over 2-year follow-up among 492 hospital workers

Variable at baseline All employees (n = 492)
Nurses (n = 193)
Others (n = 299)
Cases at baseline (N = 174)
Referents (N = 317)
Cases at baseline (N = 43)
Referents (N = 150)
Cases at baseline (N = 73)
Referents (N = 226)
OR 95 % CI OR 95 % CI OR 95 % CI OR 95 % CI OR 95 % CI OR 95 % CI
Job strain 0.89 0.56-1.41 1.26* 1.02-1.55 1.17 0.48-2.81 1.26 0.81-1.97 0.81 0.46-1.41 1.27 0.99-1.61
Effort-reward imbalance 1.04 0.72-1.50 1.42** 1.12-1.81 0.80 0.42-1.52 1.67 0.91-3.08 1.23 0.76-1.98 1.42** 1.09-1.83
Total support 0.95 0.66-1.37 0.97 0.77-1.22 1.36 0.63-2.93 1.59* 1.03-2.44 0.86 0.55-1.33 0.76 0.57-1.03
Overcommitment 1.58* 1.05-2.39 1.01 0.81-1.26 2.98* 1.01-8.77 0.91 0.61-1.36 1.38 0.88-2.16 1.08 0.82-1.42

All multiple logistic regression models include age, sex, and race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white vs. other); to standardize the OR estimates, scores for job strain, effort-reward imbalance, total support, and overcommitment were divided by its standard deviation (SD) so that the ORs estimate the likelihood of outcome experienced per 1 SD change (see “Methods”). Due to missing data, the sample size for each data analysis varies
