p < .05.
p < .01. Unstandardized regression weights are presented with standard error in parenthesis. Nurse Gender: 0 = male, 1 = female. Nurse Race: 0 = non-white, 1 = white. Order of Emotion and Risk Judgement Questionnaires: 0 = Emotion items first, 1 = Risk judgement items first. Positive Emotions Toward COVID-19 (3 items; Cronbach's α = 0.81). Negative Emotions Toward COVID-19 (9 items; Cronbach's α = 0.89). Emotional Suppression (4 items; Cronbach's α = 0.82). Emotional Reappraisal (6 items; Cronbach's α = 0.88). Patient Safety Risk (4 items; Cronbach's α = 0.80). Personal Safety Risk (4 items; Cronbach's α = 0.75). Nursing experience was substituted for nurse age in Model 1, and results were identical in interpretation; as such, age was used in subsequent models.
