In this study, we hypothesized that a nurse's exposure to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients as part of the work role is positively associated with distress as indexed by negative mood at work. Given this expected relation, we sought to identify factors that might reduce the negative effects of caring for AIDS patients on nurses. We predicted that both organizational and social support would moderate the relationship between extent of exposure and negative mood, with the relationship being strongest when support is low and weakest when support is high. The results of tests among a sample of 256 nurses supported all the hypotheses. We discuss implications of this study and directions for future research.
在本研究中，我们假设护士在工作中接触获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）患者与工作中的负面情绪所反映的苦恼呈正相关。鉴于这种预期关系，我们试图确定可能减少护理艾滋病患者对护士负面影响的因素。我们预测组织支持和社会支持都会调节接触程度与负面情绪之间的关系，当支持较低时这种关系最强，而当支持较高时则最弱。对256名护士样本的测试结果支持了所有假设。我们讨论了本研究的意义以及未来研究的方向。
