5. LIMITATIONS
The addition of numerous years of data may have provided more depth to
the study. However, performing a more comprehensive analysis using
multiple years is challenging because the study is based on single-year
data. Although this research was based on data from 2008, the analysis
performed was exhaustive, including adjusting for covariates to improve
the study’s reliability, validity, and efficacy. Even though the
research data is from 2008, Kelly et al.30demonstrated in a paper published in 2021 that work environment impact
on nurses is still relevant and requires a systemic approach to tackle
the issue. While this research can be generalizable, the findings in
this study should be interpreted with caution because the analysis was
based on single-year data.
