Schedule Control And Mental Health: The Relevance Of Coworkers’ Reports, David Hurtado, M. Glymour, Lisa Berkman, Dean Hashimoto, Silje Reme, Glorian Sorensen

Dean M. Hashimoto

Although some studies suggest that schedule control might promote mental health, research has over-relied on self-reports, which might explain why the evidence is inconclusive and mixed. In this study, we introduce an analytical approach based on coworkers’ reports (in lieu of self-reports) in order to better characterize the organizational nature of schedule control, and to address biases of self-reports (e.g. reverse causation or confounding). Following job demand-control theoretical principles, in this cross-sectional study of 1229 nurses nested in 104 hospital units, we tested the hypothesis that psychological distress (a risk factor for mental illness) would be lower for nurses where …

Supervisors’ Support For Nurses’ Meal Breaks And Mental Health, David Hurtado, Candace Nelson, Dean Hashimoto, Glorian Sorensen

Dean M. Hashimoto

Meal breaks promote occupational health and safety; however, less is known about supervisors’ support for nurses’ meal breaks. In this study, the researchers tested whether the frequency of meal breaks was positively related to supervisors’ support of nurses’ meal breaks, and whether more frequent meal breaks were associated with less psychological distress. This study is based on a cross-sectional survey of 1,595 hospital nurses working on 85 units supervised by nursing directors. Specific meal-break support was measured at the nursing director level; frequency of meal breaks and psychological distress were measured at the individual nurse level. Multilevel adjusted models showed …
