Work-based musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are prevalent among health-care workers, particularly the nursing staff. The authors focused on the perceived social support exchange imbalance or the combination of higher perceived obligation to provide support to and lower perceived available support from the coworkers and examined the association between support exchange imbalance and nurses’ MSDs via anger. Using a sample of 410 nurses from 29 units across two hospitals, the authors found that when individual nurses reported higher support exchange imbalance, they experienced more anger, which in turn was associated with more severe MSD symptoms in low back and upper limbs. The association between support exchange imbalance and anger was exacerbated when nurses perceived that a similar level of support was available within their unit.

团队环境中的社会支持交流和护士的肌肉骨骼损伤：愤怒作为调解器

基于工作的肌肉骨骼疾病 (MSD) 在卫生保健工作者中很普遍，尤其是护理人员。作者关注感知的社会支持交换不平衡或更高感知义务向同事提供支持和更低感知可用支持的组合，并通过愤怒检查支持交换不平衡与护士 MSD 之间的关联。作者使用了来自两家医院 29 个单位的 410 名护士的样本，发现当个别护士报告更高的支持交换失衡时，他们会经历更多的愤怒，这反过来又与更严重的腰背和上肢 MSD 症状相关。当护士认为在他们的单位内可以获得类似水平的支持时，支持交换不平衡和愤怒之间的关联就会加剧。
