  Title Health correlates of autonomy, control and professional relationships in the nursing work environment Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 42 Issue 3 Pages 260-268  
  Keywords Workplace; Occupational health and safety; Registered nurses  
  Abstract The aim of this study was to examine nursing in New Zealand and to see whether aspects of the work environment are associated with health status. A total of 225 registered nurses in a general hospital completed the Revised Nursing Work Index (NWI-R) and Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Ratings indicated that the New Zealand hospital environment was characterized by less autonomy and control and better nurse-physician relations than in USA hospitals. Results of correlations demonstrated that more positive ratings of the three workplace attributes were associated with better health status amongst the nurses. The results of regression analyses were indicative either of a confounding relationship or of a mediating relationship such that nurses' relations with physicians, administration and other departments mediate the associations between autonomy, control and health status.
