Differences in Job Demands, Patient Safety Event Involvement, and Burnout
Table 1 summarizes results from each of the 3 MBI dimensions across the subgroups. Inpatient nurses reported significantly higher levels of reduced personal accomplishment than MDs and APPs (p <.001). There were no other significant differences among subgroups in emotional exhaustion or depersonalization. Table 2 summarizes respondents’ perceived job demands, and involvement in PSEs by subgroups. Mental demand was the highest ranked job demand among all 4 cohorts. We observed significant differences among cohorts in physical job demands: MDs & APPs reported significantly lower physical demand than did inpatient nurses (P <.001) and ambulatory nurses (P <.001). Further, inpatient nurses reported significantly higher physical demands than did ambulatory nurses (6.1 vs. 5.3, P =.006). No significant differences were observed among the cohorts for PSE involvement.
