WORK-RELATED STRESS EVALUATION AMONG THE NURSES AT REFERRAL HOSPITALS IN MONGOLIA. /DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PERIOD/

Abstract

Background: Occupational or work-related stress is defined as a person's response to cope with situations that make it impossible for them to perform normally due to colleagues or co-workers' relationships and the working environment. Nursing, itself, is a stress-prone profession, we cannot eliminate the stressors, but teaching nurses effective ways to deal with stress and avoid stress will allow them to focus on their work and work energetically and satisfactorily. Thus we saw the need to figure out the workplace stress among the nurses who worked in the referral hospitals in Mongolia.
