Abstract
AIM
To examine predictors of Canadian new graduate nurses' health outcomes over 1 year.
DESIGN
A time-lagged mail survey was conducted.
METHOD
New graduate nurses across Canada (N = 406) responded to a mail survey at two time points: November 2012-March 2013 (Time 1) and May-July 2014 (Time 2). Multiple linear regression (mental and overall health) and logistic regression (post-traumatic stress disorder risk) analyses were conducted to assess the impact of Time 1 predictors on Time 2 health outcomes.
RESULTS
Both situational and personal factors were significantly related to mental and overall health and post-traumatic stress disorder risk. Regression analysis identified that cynicism was a significant predictor of all three health outcomes, while occupational coping self-efficacy explained unique variance in mental health and work-life interference explained unique variance in post-traumatic stress disorder risk.
