Nurses exposed to high nursing stress report no health complaints as long as they have high coping abilities. The purpose of this study was to investigate coping styles in relation to the health status and work environment of Norwegian and Dutch hospital nurses. This comparative study included a random sample of 5400 Norwegian nurses and a convenience sample of 588 Dutch nurses. Coping, health, and work environment were assessed by questionnaire in both samples and associations were investigated bivariately and multivariately. We found that active problem-solving coping was associated with the health and work environment of Norwegian nurses but not with the health and work environment of Dutch. Passive coping (avoiding problems or waiting to see what happens) was found to relate to poor general health, poor mental health, low job control, and low job support in both Norwegian and Dutch nurses. Improvements in the nursing work environment may not only result in better mental health, but may also reduce passive coping.
暴露于高护理压力下的护士只要具有高应对能力，就不会报告健康问题。本研究旨在调查挪威和荷兰医院护士的应对方式与健康状况和工作环境之间的关系。这项比较研究包括对 5400 名挪威护士的随机样本和 588 名荷兰护士的便利样本。在两个样本中，通过问卷评估应对方式、健康状况和工作环境，并进行了单变量和多变量关联分析。我们发现，积极解决问题的应对方式与挪威护士的健康和工作环境有关，但与荷兰护士的健康和工作环境无关。被动应对（避免问题或等待看会发生什么）与挪威和荷兰护士的一般健康状况不佳、心理健康状况不佳、工作控制程度低和工作支持程度低有关。改善护理工作环境不仅可以改善心理健康，还可以减少被动应对。
