  1. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals in each row are from separate multivariate logistic regression models for each nurse outcome, and reflect the difference between contract-based nurses and ‘bianzhi’ nurses (the reference group). All models controlled for individual nurse characteristics and for characteristics of hospitals where nurses worked (including the nurse practice environment), and were adjusted for the clustering of nurses in hospitals. *P <0.05; **P <0.01. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
