Physician and Nurse Workplace Stressors throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic: Level of Exposure to the Disease, Perceived Risk of Infection, and Moral Dilemmas during Care
Frank RydellABSTRACT. I draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on physician and nurse workplace stressors throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and to explore this, I inspected, used, and replicated survey data from BMA, Chapman University, Harvard Medical School, ICF, NNU, UNICEF, UNC School of Medicine, and UPMC, performing analyses and making estimates regarding level of exposure to the disease, perceived risk of infection, and moral dilemmas during care. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the proposed conceptual model.
