Description:Objective:
Examine the association of discrimination and short sleep and the buffering effect of people-oriented culture in the workplace among nurses and patient care associates.
Methods:
Used a mixed-methods design from the 2018 Boston Hospital Workers Health Study (N=845) and semi-structured interviews among nurse directors (N=16).
Results:
We found that people-oriented culture reduced the odds of short sleep and slightly attenuated the association of discrimination and short sleep. People oriented culture did not buffer the effects of discrimination on short sleep. Qualitative findings showed that discrimination occurred between co-workers in relation to their job titles and existing support in the workplace does not address discrimination.
Conclusions:
Healthcare industries need to implement specific programs and services aimed at addressing discrimination which can potentially improve health outcomes among workers.
