ᵚ Just entered work: age 20–30. Prime working age: age 31–50. ᵝ Nondoctor: allied healthcare + nonclinician. ᶱ ED: Emergency Department. ᶶ Ward care: anesthetic + internal medicine. ᵞ PUI: patient under investigation/suspected cases. ᵟ PCOPE: positive religious coping. ᵠ NCOPE: negative religious coping. n = 199: Excluded one case of approaching retirement age of 51–64. Variables with p values < 0.25 were preserved for multivariate analyses. b1 indicates crude regression coefficient; b2 represents regression coefficient (adjusted). CI indicates confidence interval. Partial eta2: effect size (estimated). Bolded p values and partial eta2 represent comparison between different variable groups while nonbolded values represent comparison values within the same variable.
