This study aims to evaluate how workplace microaggressions affect anxiety levels in registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs).
Cross-sectional design utilizing an online survey distributed to 5,000 RDNs in the U.S.
Survey items included the Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions Scale (REMS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
Multiple linear regressions analyzed the association between microaggressions and anxiety.
Higher REMS scores correlated with increased anxiety levels (p < 0.001).
Microinvalidations were significantly linked to higher anxiety (p = 0.006).
Younger RDNs reported more anxiety, and marginalized identities experienced greater levels of both anxiety and microaggressions.
