Relationships between Incivility and Physical Health: The Mediating Effect of Sleep and Moderating Effects of Hostile Attribution Bias and Rumination in a Sample of Nurses
Year: 2015
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The current study is an investigation of the relationships between perceived incivility, sleep quality and quantity, and physical health outcomes, as well as the moderating effects of work-related rumination and hostile attribution bias.The author proposed based on selfregulatory theory (Muraven & Beaumeister, 2000) and conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll, 1989) that incivility has negative effects on physical symptoms through the mediating effects of sleep quality and quantity, and that individual difference variables would amplify the direct effects between incivility, sleep, and physical symptoms.Study results based on data from a sample of Ohio nurses (n = 456) provided mixed support for the hypotheses.Specifically, the study found support for sleep quality and quantity as full mediators, but no support for the hypothesized individual difference moderators.Study implications and limitations are discussed.
