Moderators of the negative outcomes of nurse manager stress
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine moderators of the negative effects of nurse managers' stress. BACKGROUND: Nurse managers have important and stressful jobs. Stress affects outcomes such as job satisfaction and intent to quit. METHODS: A quantitative, cross-sectional survey design was used to obtain a convenience sample to examine which factors buffered negative effects of stress. RESULTS: Nurse managers reported high levels of stress, although stress decreased with age. Autonomy was the most effective buffer, followed by social support and predictability. CONCLUSIONS: Nurse managers should be offered autonomy and encouraged to seek support from supervisors and coworkers to reduce the negative effects of stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
