no evidence of response bias in a population based childhood cancer survivor Questionnaire Survey results from the swiss childhood cancer survivor study
PLOS ONE, 2017Co-Authors: Corina S Rueegg, Micol E Gianinazzi, Gisela Michel, Marcel Zwahlen, Nicolas Von Der Weid, Claudia E KuehniAbstract:Purpose This is the first study to quantify potential nonresponse bias in a childhood cancer survivor Questionnaire Survey. We describe early and late responders and nonresponders, and estimate nonresponse bias in a nationwide Questionnaire Survey of survivors. Methods In the Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, we compared characteristics of early responders (who answered an initial Questionnaire), late responders (who answered after ≥1 reminder) and nonresponders. Sociodemographic and cancer-related information was available for the whole population from the Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry. We compared observed prevalence of typical outcomes in responders to the expected prevalence in a complete (100% response) representative population we constructed in order to estimate the effect of nonresponse bias. We constructed the complete population using inverse probability of participation weights. Results Of 2328 survivors, 930 returned the initial Questionnaire (40%); 671 returned the Questionnaire after ≥1reminder (29%). Compared to early and late responders, we found that the 727 nonresponders (31%) were more likely male, aged <20 years, French or Italian speaking, of foreign nationality, diagnosed with lymphoma or a CNS or germ cell tumor, and treated only with surgery. But observed prevalence of typical estimates (somatic health, medical care, mental health, health behaviors) was similar among the sample of early responders (40%), all responders (69%), and the complete representative population (100%). In this Survey, nonresponse bias did not seem to influence observed prevalence estimates. Conclusion Nonresponse bias may play only a minor role in childhood cancer survivor studies, suggesting that results can be generalized to the whole population of such cancer survivors and applied in clinical practice.

burnout role conflict job satisfaction and psychosocial health among hungarian health care staff a Questionnaire Survey
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2006Co-Authors: Bettina PikoAbstract:Abstract Background There is a growing interest in the psychosocial work environment of health care staff since they are at high risk for burnout, role conflict and job dissatisfaction. Burnout, as a type of prolonged response to chronic job-related stressors, has a special significance in health care where staff experience both psychological–emotional and physical stress. Burnout and the other negative aspects of the job of health care staff have major behavioural and health implications. Objectives The present study investigated the interrelationships among burnout, role conflict and job satisfaction in a sample of Hungarian health care staff. The study also investigated how these indicators of psychosocial work climate influence respondents' frequency of psychosomatic symptoms. Design A Questionnaire Survey (anonymous Questionnaires) has been carried out to detect these interrelationships. Settings Two major hospitals in Szeged, Hungary. Participants Questionnaires were distributed to 450 health care staff among whom 55.7% were registered nurses. All together, 201 Questionnaires were returned and analyzed, giving a response rate of 44.6%. Methods Questionnaire contained items on work and health-related information (i.e., burnout, job satisfaction, role conflict, and psychosomatic symptoms) and on some basic sociodemographics. Beyond descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analyses were computed. Results Findings show that emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores were higher, while scores on personal accomplishment was lower as compared to Canadian, Norwegian or US samples. Burnout, particularly emotional exhaustion ( p . 001 ), was found to be strongly related to job dissatisfaction. Schooling was inversely related to satisfaction with the job ( p . 05 ). While job satisfaction was a negative predictor of each type of burnout subscale ( p . 001 ), role conflict was a factor contributing positively to emotional exhaustion ( p . 001 ) and depersonalization scores ( p . 001 ). Conclusions The study results underline the importance of the role of psychosocial work environment and the interrelationships among burnout, role conflict, job satisfaction and psychosomatic health among Hungarian health care staff.

the mediating effect of job satisfaction between emotional intelligence and organisational commitment of nurses a Questionnaire Survey
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2008Co-Authors: Guldal Guleryuz, Semra Guney, Eren Miski Aydin, Oznur AsanAbstract:Abstract Background The effect of emotional intelligence and its dimensions on job satisfaction and organisational commitment of nurses has been investigated in this study. Objectives This paper examines the relations among emotional intelligence, job satisfaction and organisational commitment of nurses and the mediating effect of job satisfaction between emotional intelligence and organisational commitment. Design A Questionnaire Survey was carried out to explore the relations between emotional intelligence, job satisfaction and organisational commitment. Setting Teaching hospital in Ankara, Turkey. Participants Questionnaires were distributed by Nursing Services Administration to 550 nurses working at different departments of the hospital and 267 Questionnaires were analyzed. Methods A 45-item Questionnaire which consists of emotional intelligence, job satisfaction and organisational commitment parts was carried out to investigate the relations among these variables. Some basic socio-demographic questions were included. Results Emotional intelligence was significantly and positively related to job satisfaction \( r = 0.236 , p ≤ 0.01 \) and organisational commitment \( r = 0.229 , p ≤ 0.01 \) . The positive relation between job satisfaction and organisational commitment was also significant \( r = 0.667 , p ≤ 0.01 \) . Job satisfaction was found to be related with "regulation of emotion (ROE)" \( r = 0.228 , p ≤ 0.01 \) and "use of emotion (UOE)" \( r = 0.155 , p ≤ 0.01 \) but not with other dimensions of emotional intelligence. "Others's emotional appraisal" did not have any relations with job satisfaction or organisational commitment and "self-emotional appraisal (SEA)" was found to be a suppressor. Conclusion It was found that job satisfaction is a mediator between emotional intelligence and organisational commitment. The other finding of the study was that "SEA" and "UOE" have direct effects on organisational commitment whereas job satisfaction is a mediator between "regulation of emotion" and organisational commitment.
