We report several novel observations regarding fear of repercussions as an outcome variable that may provide a springboard for further inquiry.
Naturopathy as a professional group are experiencing substantial growth in Australia, though lack of regulation means that training and practice standards remain variable, with possible repercussions for public health and safety [ 8].
These variable responses have important repercussions for identifying and predicting disease spread and consequently for developing and implementing intervention methods.
The clinical significance of published data will continue to change as new findings emerge and the ethical repercussions will depend on many different variables.
Other important climatic variables are also changing implying the multiple repercussions of the change in climate.
Interviews have been completed for 80.8 % of the solicited subjects (n = 5 622).The variables considered comprised insomnia and its daytime repercussions on cognitive functioning, affective tone, daytime sleepiness and diurnal fatigue.
Studies of other outcomes (risk, injury) and in other industries provide an additional basis for considering further explanatory variables to better understand clinicians' fear of repercussions.
On the one hand, movement of the patient during transport, acceleration and deceleration, changes in posture, and movement from one surface to another are all variables with potential haemodynamic, respiratory, neurological, psychological, and algesic repercussions [ 5, 12, 24].
Overall, our explanatory variables explain roughly 18 and 38%% of variance in fear of repercussions for nurses and physicians, respectively.
Separate hierarchical linear regressions were performed for nurses and physicians to identify unique contributions of each explanatory variable (or blocks of explanatory variables) to explaining the variance in fear of repercussions.
