Coping with Work Stressors in Nursing. Effects of Adaptive versus Maladaptive Strategies.
Parasuraman, Saroj; Hansen, Donna
Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v14 n1 p88-105 Feb 1987
The effect of coping behaviors on nurses' affective reactions to work-generated stressors was assessed, using data gathered from 215 nurses in a medical center hospital in the Midwest. Adaptive coping, reflecting problem-solving behaviors, was found to moderate the relationships of work overload and resource inadequacy with felt stress. (Author/CH)
