Abstract
Background
Despite high levels of burnout and psychological distress among nurses, few studies have evaluated these outcomes among Hispanic nurses.
Purpose
To evaluate the differences in job-related and psychological well-being outcomes for Hispanic and non-Hispanic White nurses and the association of nurse work environments.
Methods
Cross-sectional analysis of the 2021 RN4CAST-New York-Illinois nurse survey. Multilevel logistic regression models examined the association between nurse ethnicity and job-related outcomes and psychological well-being.
Discussion
Our sample included 798 (10.7%) Hispanic and 6,642 (89.3%) non-Hispanic White nurses in 249 hospitals. In unadjusted models, Hispanic ethnicity was associated with higher odds of burnout (odds ratio (OR) 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03–1.42), which diminished when considering the work environment (OR 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01–1.35) and nurse characteristics (i.e., age) (OR 1.01, 95% CI: 0.83–1.21).
Conclusion
Equity-driven solutions to support the well-being of Hispanic nurses should consider a focus on the needs of young Hispanic nurses and include increased support in work environments.
