In addition, the relationship between worker status and self-rated health as well as nurse¿s propensity to be involved in work accidents was tested. The broader model which is not reported herein also incorporates variables connected with personal resources and job demands as well as values incongruence, all of which assist in predicting the outcomes specified above.
