Notes: , , and . was the change of square, was standardized regression coefficients, was unstandardized regression coefficients, and SE was standard error of mean (the same below). aDemographic variables include type variables, working department, and shift pattern (i.e., the 8 h three-shift or 12 h two-shift scheduling pattern) and continuous variable (i.e., working duration as a nurse). Because the working department containing six types of departments was a dummy variable, the intensive care unit (ICU), emergency intensive care unit (EICU), emergency department, radiotherapy department, and rehabilitation department were coded as 1 in turn while the other departments as a reference were coded as 0. The 8 h three-shift and 12 h two-shift scheduling patterns were coded as 0 and 1, respectively. bHCC referred to hair cortisol content. cSA×HCC referred to the interaction between surface acting and hair cortisol content.
