Impact of immigration-specific stress on safety attitudes: a national cross-sectional study on overseas qualified nurses in Japan by Xinyi Chang, Xiuzhu Gu

“…Spearman’s correlation analysis and a generalised linear model were used to analyse the relationship between immigration-specific stress and safety attitudes as perceived by OQNs.Results The findings showed that various safety attitude dimensions were significantly impacted by stressors such as ‘Not at home’, ‘Occupation’ and ‘Discrimination’. Notably, ‘Occupation’ disadvantages perceived by OQNs significantly affected all the safety attitude dimensions, such as ‘Teamwork climate’ (B=−5.69, [−7.78, –3.60], p<0.001), ‘Job satisfaction’ (B=−9.38, [−12.32, –6.44], p<0.001) and ‘Stress recognition’ (B=5.86, [3.17, 8.54], p<0.001).Conclusions The findings underscore the significance of implementing effective strategies such as enhancing the sense of belonging, providing better career advancement prospects and opportunities and addressing workplace discrimination to improve safety attitudes among OQNs. …”
