Self‐reported data were collected in two hospitals simultaneously over two time periods. The table does not show repeated measures/panel data.
a
Hospital, time period and sex (0 = “woman”, 1 = “man”) were added as dummy‐coded control variables.
b
For age, “younger than or 25 years old” was chosen as reference group and compared to “26–40 years old” (contrast age 1) and “41 years old or older” (contrast age 2).
c
Concerning profession, “physicians” were used as the reference group and compared to “midwives” (contrast profession 1), “nurses” (contrast profession 2), and “other” (contrast profession 3).
