Summary
The nature of the nurses’ job is widely recognized as stressful. They have heavy workload juggling between clinical contacts and administrative tasks, time constraint, insufficient number of colleagues to share the work burden, strained relationship with other healthcare providers, role conflicts, and challenges in dealing with the patients and the families’ expectations and sufferings (American Holistic Nurses Association 2012). The participants in each study reported various levels of stress. This suggests that given similar external stressors, individual nurses’ differential experiences of stress can be explained by their personal appraisals and coping strategies. The use of self-blame and emotional ventilation among the nurses predicted a higher level of stress (Emilia & Noor Hassim 2007; Wan Salwina, Raynuha, Ainsyah et al 2009)
