... Nurses are faced with varying job stressors depending on their work unit. Moreover, the perception of stress among nurses in the same unit may be different depending on their characteristics, resources, and coping abilities (Masa'Deh et al., 2016;Richard S. Lazarus et al., 1984). ...
... There was no significant difference in the stress levels of nurses in the intensive care and emergency units. The work units with the lowest stress levels, based on work units, are medical nurses and operating room nurses(Masa'Deh et al., 2016) Emergency nurses not only face holistic psychological and physical stressors like all parts of the hospital, but they also face specific pressures such as time urgency and exposure ...

Stress was recognized internationally as a work hazard for nurses , but e ffective coping can prevent work stress. Religious coping is the type of emotional coping that is widely used by nurses. A compilation of studies related to the role of religious coping in nurses’ work-related stress is still limited. The purpose of this scoping review is to determine the use of religious coping technique in nurses and its impact on stress. Methods: This scoping review was carried out following the PRISMA Statement recommendations checklist, Items for Systematic Reviews, and Meta-Analyses—Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-SCR). Databases for literature searching were SCOPUS, Springer Link, and Science Direct. The search strategy was (nurse or nursing) and (religious or spiritual) and coping and (job stress or work stress or occupational stress). Only original research articles, published within the last 10 years, in English or Indonesian, free full - text availability , and focusing on nurses’ religious coping synthesized by the authors . Result: A total of 14 articles have been included in the review. 10 out of 11 articles stated that nurses used religious coping. 2 of 2 articles that analyzed the relationship between religiosity and distress stated there was a significant relationship. 2 of 3 articles that analyzed the relationship between religious coping and distress stated t he re was no significant relationship, and 1 article stated they were significantly related. Conclusion: Religious coping is an emotional coping method commonly used by nurses to reduce stress. Religiosity is a resource for preventing work stress in nurses. There are variations in the results of the relationship between religious coping and stress in nurses. Variations in results can be caused by the type of stressor, level of religiosity, and indicators of religiosity. Future research needs to analyze how the types of stressors and religiosity affect religious coping.

... Most previous studies agreed that psychiatric nurses are subject to high stress levels (Chakraborty, Chatterjee, & Chaudhury, 2012;Itzhaki et al., 2015;Masadeh et al., 2016). Recent studies moved from measuring stress levels of psychiatric nurses toward investigating the reasons behind such high stress levels. ...
... The results showed that work overload, the demanding nature of psychiatric patients and the complex ethical dilemmas in psychiatric nursing were the most common causes of stress, shedding light on the nature of psychiatric settings for patients as well as health professionals. Although nursing working environments are stressful in general, psychiatric settings are the most acutely stressful (Masadeh et al., 2016). Qi et al. (2014) studied the effect of work-related environment on nursing in a descriptive comparative cross-sectional study comparing the level of work-related stress between 297 female nurses working in two psychiatric hospitals and 408 nurses working in a medical unit at a general hospital in China. ...
... Therefore, this study assessed perceived stress levels of Jordanian psychiatric nurses and identified factors associated with these stress levels. The need of this study was highlighted by a previous Jordanian study reporting that psychiatric nurses had the highest stress levels compared to nurses working in other departments, which recommended looking for predictors (Masadeh et al., 2016). The research questions of this study are: ...
Objectives. This study aims to compare the work stress and obsessive-compulsive symptoms of nurses and office workers and to determine the relationship between work stress and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.Methods. A total of 127 nurses and 127 office workers participated in the cross-sectional study and comparative study. Data were collected using the perceived work stress scale and the Maudsley obsessive-compulsive inventory.Results. Nurses had higher work stress scores (p = 0.003) in general than office workers. In particular, nurses with a low (p < 0.039) and average (p < 0.007) economic status, nurses who had been employed for 1-10 years (p < 0.001) and nurses working 40 h per week (p < 0.042) had higher work stress scores than office workers. There was no difference (p > 0.05) between obsessive-compulsive symptom scores. There was a positive significant relationship (p < 0.001) between work stress and obsessive-compulsive symptom scores of nurses and office workers. Work stress explains 6.1% of the obsessive-compulsive symptoms in nurses and 12.4% in office workers.Conclusion. The results of this study concluded that work stress of nurses is higher than that of office workers and work stress affects the obsessive-compulsive symptoms in both groups.
The aim of the study was to assess the individual stress intensity and its management in Lithuania in the context of public well-being, concentrating on the effects of socio-demographic and clinical factors on stress intensity. To reach the aim, a quantitative study was conducted. 1137 residents of Lithuania participated in the online survey. A visual analogue scale (1–10, VAS) was used to determine stress intensity and management, and the Arizona Integrative Outcome Scale was used to determine the sense of well-being. The research results indicate that 98% of respondents experience stress with an average stress intensity and only 50% of respondents experience a higher-than-average sense of well-being formed by physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual state. The measured relationships between stress, socio-demographic and clinical factors suggest that the marital status, education, profession, nature of work, salary, work experience, duration of work and rest, consequences of COVID-19 have the greatest potential for perceived stress. High-intensity stress is prevalent in Lithuania with moderate management. In the study it was identified, that the main tools for reducing stress are communication with supportive persons, daily regimen and sleep, leisure time for a hobby and rehabilitation, avoiding bad habits, appropriate medical SPA treatments or wellness practices.
There is global recognition that mental health nursing can be stressful and have detrimental effects on nurses' well-being and retention. With substantial nursing shortages, there is an urgent need to attract and retain nurses to sustain this workforce and provide effective mental healthcare. Mental health transition programs provide vital recruitment pathways and support novice registered nurses, enrolled nurses and experienced registered generalist nurses moving into this field. There is little evidence, however, on the well-being, resilience, and retention of nurses transitioning into mental health. The primary aims for this cross-sectional study were to describe demographic characteristics, perceived stress, well-being, resilience, mental illness stigma attitudes, work satisfaction, and turnover intention of four nurse cohorts entering mental health transition programs: generalist registered nurses, graduate and post-graduate registered nurses, and enrolled nurses; to explore relationships between these variables; and explore differences between these four nurse cohorts. Findings (n = 87) included overall moderate perceived stress, moderate well-being and resilience, high work satisfaction, low stigma, and low turnover intention. Higher turnover intention was associated with lower age and work satisfaction, and higher perceived stress. Generalist RNs had significantly higher stress and stigmatizing attitudes than Enrolled Nurses. Secondary analysis of well-being scores identified 14 nurses with scores indicating depression, with significantly lower resilience and work satisfaction, and significantly higher stress than the rest of the sample. To help prevent attrition, it is vital that mental health services provide tailored well-being initiatives during transition and intervene early to provide support for nurses with mental distress.
The aim of this study is to explore real-time stress monitoring models (based on physiological features) for intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. The quantification of stress in ICU nurses has been limited to subjective ratings, with a general gap in continuous measurement; real-time stress monitoring based on continuous physiological measurement is needed to assess the negative outcome of stress. Electrodermal activity, eye tracking, accelerometer data, and skin temperatures were recorded continuously through 12-hour shifts for ICU nurses (23 participants). A machine learning algorithm was applied to identify stress over time based on physiological features. eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) was performed with an accuracy of 0.88. Skin temperature contributed the most to real-time stress identification for monitoring. Future work should investigate the efficacy of using skin temperature for stress identification in real-time for ICU nurses.
Objective A minimum amount of stress is essential for a successful life. When it goes beyond the limit, it affects overall well-being. There is a need to modify the environment, feelings, and physical factors of an individual to promote resilience. This study aimed to assess and find the relationship between perceived stress and resilience among nurses working in a selected hospital.
Materials and Methods The investigators used the descriptive correlation design and, through the nonprobability sampling method, selected 65 nurses. Data was collected using the demographic variables, perceived stress scale, and the Connor–Davidson resilience scale.
Results and Discussion The investigators found a moderate level of stress (61.5%) with intermediate resilience (73.8%) among the nurses and noted a weak correlation between perceived stress and resilience (calculated value is 0.226 and the p-value is 0.071). There was an association found between the frequency of night duty, education level, and perceived stress.
Conclusion Our study showed that most of the nurses had a moderate level of stress with intermediate resilience. The unmarried nurses were more resilient, with a moderate level of stress than the married.
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to cause mental health issues, especially for healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to investigate levels of perceived stress, insomnia, and the sense of family support among nurses in pandemic conditions. We administered in a sample of 150 nurses from different hospital departments during the COVID-19 pandemic the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Family Support Scale (FSS). Individual and demographic data were recorded. In total, 120 women and 30 men completed the study questionnaires. Almost half of the participants (49.7%) reported the presence of insomnia and more than half (50.3%) experienced increased stress levels. Scores on the Athens Insomnia Scale correlated positively with Perceived Stress Scale scores (p < 0.01), and negatively with Family Support Scale scores (p < 0.01). Significantly negative correlations were observed among scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and the Family Support Scale (p < 0.01). The regression models revealed that ‘scores on Perceived Stress Scale’ and ‘years of work experience’ were significant predictors of ‘scores on Athens Insomnia Scale’, each explaining 43.6% and 2.3% of the variance. ‘Scores on Athens Insomnia Scale’ and ‘scores on Family Support Scale’ were significant predictors of ‘scores on Perceived Stress Scale’, explaining 43.7% and 9.2% of the variance. In conclusion, we confirmed that working with COVID-19 patients has a negative impact on the sleep of nurses, possibly mediated by increased levels of stress. Family support, as a protective factor, appears to moderate the deleterious consequences of stress.
Background
Factors affecting job satisfaction of home health nurses are studied.
Methods
PSS-10, CBI and HHNJS are used to measure the perceived stress, burnout of home health nurses and Job Satisfaction.
Results
The significant predictors for Job satisfaction were Relationship with organization, Autonomy and control, Salary and Benefits as 82% of variation in job satisfaction was explained by these, (F change (3, 144) = 236.72, p < .001).
Conclusion
Agencies should work upon improving the dimensions such as the “relationship with the organization”, “Autonomy and control” and “Salary and Benefits" to increases the Job satisfaction of home health nurses.
The current study investigated the effect of an aggression management training course on reducing perceived stress levels of nurses working in mental health care settings in Jordan. This quasi-experimental pre/post study included 83 nurses (44 male, 39 female; mean age = 33 years) who completed a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire and the Arabic Version of the Perceived Stress Scale 10-Items Questionnaire. Participants attended 32 hours of an aggression management training course and then answered the questionnaires for a second time. Female nurses reported significantly higher stress levels than male nurses before and after the training course. Paired-samples t test showed a significant decrease in the mean total score of perceived stress of all nurses after attending the training course. The results of this study highlight the need to design and implement aggression management courses, as such training can improve nurses' mental health and perceived stress levels.
