Thus, this cross\u2010sectional study, conducted in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, examined the relationship between organizational justice and serious psychological distress (SPD) among hospital nursing staff during COVID\u201019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study surveyed 783 hospital nursing staff using the Organizational Justice Questionnaire and Effort\u2010Reward Imbalance Questionnaire. The Kessler K6 scale was used to measure SPD. Sociodemographic and occupational characteristics were controlled for as potential confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of SPD was 14.4%, with a mean K6 score of 6.5. Moderate procedural justice (odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20092.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20091.14\u20134.94, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.021) and low distributive justice (effort\u2010reward imbalance) (OR\u2009=\u20093.66, 95% CI\u2009=\u20092.01\u20136.67, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) were associated with SPD, even after adjustment for confounders. Interactional justice showed significance only in the crude model. Effort\u2010reward imbalance had the strongest association with SPD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings showed that moderate procedural justice and low distributive justice were associated with SPD, highlighting the need for organizational interventions to address these factors. Imbalances in effort\/reward had the greatest impact, highlighting the critical role of distributive justice in mental health. Thus, in the context of a pandemic, extreme procedural justice is not necessarily associated with mental health, and efforts to ensure distributive justice are critical to improving the mental health of hospital nursing staff. Moreover, organizational stressors should be addressed during disruptive conditions such as infectious disease outbreaks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jjns.12595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]],"date-time":"2024-03-08T11:04:36Z","timestamp":1709895876000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association between organizational justice and serious psychological distress among hospital nursing staff during the <scp>COVID<\/scp>\u201019 pandemic: A cross\u2010sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3887-4099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satoshi","family":"Ikeda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine School of Nursing, Fukuoka University  Fukuoka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Masumitsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Fukuoka Prefectural University  Tagawa Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satomi","family":"Aomoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Kyushu University  Fukuoka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masanori","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kurume University Hospital  Kurume Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haruka","family":"Kakeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Occupational &amp; Environmental Health  Kitakyushu Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eri","family":"Nagatomo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Kyushu University  Fukuoka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukiko","family":"Kiyota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yahata Kosei Hospital  Kitakyushu Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michiko","family":"Matsueda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seisa University Graduate School  Yokohama Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hikaru","family":"Hori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Graduate School of Medicine, Fukuoka University  Fukuoka Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","first-page":"267","volume-title":"Inequity in social exchange.
