Understanding the Association Between Economic Abuse, Abuser-Initiated Workplace Disruptions and Mental Health Outcomes Among Nursing Professionals.

Summary: Nurses spend their days caring for others, but some face serious trouble in their own homes. A recent study looked at "economic abuse" among nurses. This happens when a partner controls the money or purposely messes up the nurse's job, like making them late or calling them constantly at work. The study found that nurses who face this kind of money bullying and workplace sabotage have much worse mental health. They feel more depressed and anxious. This shows that we need to protect nurses not just from hospital stress, but from partners who try to ruin their careers and financial safety.
