A meta-analysis of 125 nurses in three types of nursing roles investigated whether these nurses received social support from their administrators, the types of social support received, and whether more or less social support from these managers was desired. The Arizona Social Support Interview Schedule (ASSIS) was used to assess these questions. Results showed that home health nurses received social participation and physical assistance, whereas staff nurses received positive feedback and physical assistance. Nursing faculty received little support from their managers. Social exchange theory predicts that intangibles such as social support should exist in equitable relationships. It is possible that the difference in the nurses' and administrators' statuses and power levels affected staff nurses' results. Mental health clinical nurse specialists can use these results to help nurses understand their work relationships.

The decision of a home health nurse to remain employed at an agency is certainly influenced by a number of factors, one being how much support or encouragement that nurse is receiving from colleagues. The home health nurse does interact with peers at the office and over the telephone, but such an act as calling down the hall to another registered nurse to help with a client is not possible.
