Adriaenssens, et al. (2017). Predictors of occupational stress and well-being in First-Line Nurse Managers: A cross-sectional survey study.

Risk and protective factors of stress and health

Analyzing if job requests, job control, social support and inter-professional conflicts are predictors of NM* job stress and well-being (job satisfaction).

Various associations between predictors and outcomes and Job Demand-Control-Support model is confirmed

Positive perception of work/timedemands is associated with lower levels of psychosomatic distress and burnout and higher levels of job satisfaction.

Job control and social support of the staff team are important predictors of NM’s occupational well-being and the inter-professional collaboration of job satisfaction

No association between physical demand and outcomes and between social support of colleagues and well-being
