Abstract

Participants were recruited from statewide nursing membership organizations and major healthcare providers (N = 174). Outcomes of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were tested for association with two key predictors; economic abuse and abuser-initiated workplace disruptions. Utilizing multiple linear regression analyses, findings indicate economic abuse experienced among nurses increases anxiety and depression. However, abuser-initiated workplace disruption improved model fit when added, significantly increasing anxiety, depression, and PTSD even when controlling for demographics and economic abuse. The impact of abuser-initiated workplace disruptions could stretch beyond mental health problems and warrants future exploration.
