Paul E. Spector, PhD
Distinguished Professor Emeritus
Department of Psychology

Nurses are exposed to all forms of physical and psychological health and safety risks, including biological hazards, chemical exposure, overuse injury, physical assault, psychosocial environment, and verbal mistreatment. I will cover the various forms of exposure, results of a long-term study of newly graduated nurses, and recent work from a study at Tampa General Hospital concerning the impact of unit understaffing.
