- Results of nine multivariate, linear regression analyses, where persons working in each practice area were compared with persons not working in this area.
- N = number of persons in each practice area (the categories are not mutually exclusive, and some persons reported working in two areas).
- b (se) = unstardardised regression coefficients (standard error), adjusted for baseline level of psychological distress, changes in the work situation between baseline and follow-up, age, gender, marital status, number of preschool children, pregnancy, the extent of engagement in special tasks of care taking during leisure time, regular physical exercise, the extent the respondents were bothered by long-term health problems of any kind, and years of experience as nurses' aide.
- * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01.
