Factors influencing job stress in pediatric nurses during the pandemic period: Focusing on fatigue, pediatric nurse-parent partnership.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing pediatric nurses'job stress, including their level of fatigue and partnerships with the parents of patients. This investigation aimed to findings of this study may lead to the development of strategies to reduce pediatric nurse's job stress. Participants were recruited from pediatric, pediatric intensive care, and neonatal intensive care units across seven general hospitals. Eligibility requiresa minimum of 6 months of experience in pediatric nursing. The sample size was determined using the G*power program, considering various variables, including age, marital status, presence of children, and work-related characteristics, leading to a final sample size of 135, adjusted for a 10% dropout rate. Data collection was conducted through self-report questionnaires, and analysis involved frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-tests, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression, using SPSS Statistics 27.0. This study confirmed a significant correlation between pediatric nurses'fatigue and job stress, with higher levels of fatigue associated with increased job stress. Stepwise regression analysis showed that fatigue and age were significant predictors of job stress among pediatric nurses, explaining 23% of the variance. However, detailed analysis showed that younger nurses had lower job stress scores compared to older nurses. This result suggests that more experienced nurses may experience higher job stress due to increased responsibilities and emotional burdens. This study identified the need for effective strategies to manage fatigue and reduce job stress among pediatric nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Younger nurses, particularly those under 25 and between 26 and 30 years old, experience lower job stress compared to older nurses. Comprehensive support systems should be developed, including workload management, emotional support, and programs to enhance partnerships between nurses and parents. These strategies can improve job satisfaction and the quality of care provided to young patients. Additionally, they ensure a more resilient and effective healthcare workforce during pandemics and similar crises.

The influence of effort-reward imbalance and perceived organizational support on perceived stress in Chinese nurses: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe nursing profession is characterized by high intensity and significant stress. Nurses must not only manage heavy workloads but also address diverse patient needs, engage in emotional labor, and cope with occupational exposure risks. These factors collectively contribute to substantial work-related stress for nurses. Currently, there is limited research on identifying distinct categories of nurse stress profiles and their influencing factors.ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore the potential categories of perceived stress among nurses using Latent profile analysis (LPA) and to analyze the influence of sociodemographic factors, effort-reward imbalance, and perceived organizational support on perceived stress categories.DesignCross-sectional studyMethodsData were collected via electronic surveys from 696 nurses in Shanxi Province, China, from February 18 to 28, 2023. The survey parameters included sociodemographic characteristics, nurse job stressors scale, effort-reward imbalance scale, and perceived organizational support scale. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to classify the perceived stress levels of nurses, and disordered multi-classification logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors.ResultsThe most suitable model was a three-profile model, comprising the “low perceived stress” group (10.5%), “moderate perceived stress” group (66.7%), and “high perceived stress” group (22.8%). Multi-classification logistic regression analysis showed that average working hours per day (OR = 3.022, p = 0.026), extrinsic effort (C2 vs. C1, OR = 1.589, p < 0.001; C3 vs. C1, OR = 2.515, p < 0.001), and perceived organizational support (C2 vs. C1, OR = 0.853, p < 0.001; C3 vs. C1, OR = 0.753, p < 0.001) were the factors influencing the classification of nurses’ perceived stress.ConclusionsLatent profile analysis revealed that nurses’ perceived stress exhibits distinct characteristics. It is recommended that clinical administrators should identify these characteristics and the influencing factors of different nurse categories, and adopt targeted intervention strategies to reduce the levels of perceived stress.

Fighting fear: the buffering of well-being-HRM on the effects of nurses’ fear of COVID-19 on job stress and patient care

PurposePre-pandemic research demonstrated the challenges of the nursing workforce and the provision of quality of patient care. Such challenges have been significantly intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, not least in the workplace and fear of staff catching and transmitting COVID-19. We draw on conservation of resources (COR) theory to examine the impact of the fear of COVID-19 on nurses and the role of well-being-HRM (WBHRM) in negating the fear of COVID-19 and its impact on job stress and perceived quality of patient care.Design/methodology/approachWe collected data from 260 nurses (treating COVID-19 patients) employed in US hospitals across two-waves. Data were analyzed using mediated regression and moderated mediation.FindingsThe results indicated that when nurses report higher levels of fear of COVID-19, this translates into higher levels of nursing job stress. This, in turn, reduces nurses’ perceptions of quality of patient care they can provide. As previous research has found, decreased perceptions of quality of patient care is a significant factor driving intentions to leave the profession. The results demonstrated that WBHRM practices buffer the negative impact of fear of COVID-19 on job stress, and in turn, the perceived quality of patient care.Originality/valueOur paper contributes to new knowledge for healthcare managers on WBHRM bundles and their efficacy in buffering the effects of fear on job stress and quality of patient care. We contribute new knowledge on fear at work and how to manage employees’ fear through WBHRM practices.

New nurses’ practice environment, job stress, and patient safety attitudes: a cross-sectional study based on the job demands-resources model

BackgroundPatient safety is paramount for all healthcare agencies. Health professionals' lack of patient safety competencies threaten patients’ lives, and increase patients, families, hospitals, and social burdens. The new nurse-related patient safety issues have particularly attracted much attention. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of practice environment and job stress on new nurses' patient safety attitudes by employing the job demands–resources model.MethodsThe study used a cross-sectional structural equation modeling (SEM). A convenience sample of 370 new nurses was recruited from seven tertiary hospitals in Anhui province, China, from April 2022 to August 2022. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires including the Chinese version of the Nurse Job Stressors Scale, the Practice Environment Scale, and the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire.ResultsNew nurses' patient safety attitudes scores were moderate (126.99 ± 14.39). Practice environment had a significant direct effect on job stress (β = -0.337, t = 6.120), patient safety attitudes (β = 0.604, t = 13.766), practice environment had an indirect effect on patient safety attitudes through job stress (β = 0.066, t = 3.690), and the indirect effect accounted for 9.9% of the total effect. This model was able to explain 48.3% of patient safety attitudes with moderate prediction accuracy.ConclusionsThis study emphasizes the importance of improving new nurses' attitudes toward patient safety. Hospital administrators should develop policies and strategies to address job characteristics, and establish a favorable work environment to reduce new nurses' job stress as well as to improve patient safety.

Development and psychometric testing of the nursing practice difficulty scale for nurses caring for patients with dementia in general hospitals

ObjectiveAs aging in the Chinese population increases, the hospitalization rates of patients with dementia have also risen. Research on the difficulties of nurses who care for patients with dementia in Chinese general hospitals is limited. This study aimed to develop a scale to measure the difficulties nurses face in nursing patients with dementia in Chinese general hospitals and to verify its reliability and validity. MethodsGuided by the biopsychosocial theory, an initial scale was created through a literature review, qualitative interviews, and expert consultation. A web-based survey for psychometric testing was conducted with 394 nurses from 11 general hospitals during September to November 2021. Validity was verified using content validity, exploratory factor analysis, the known-groups method, and concurrent validity. Cronbach’s α coefficient and split-half reliability were used to assess reliability. ResultsThe Item-level Content Validity Index was 0.833–1.000. The Scale-level Content Validity Index was 0.929. Twenty-one items with four factors were extracted from the item analysis and exploratory factor analysis. According to the known-groups method, the difficulty of the experienced group and the group with training experience was significantly lower than that of the less experienced group and the group without training experience. Based on external standards, the correlation coefficient was 0.387 with the Nursing Job Stress Scale and −0.239 with the Dementia Care Attitude Scale. Cronbach’s α coefficient for each factor ranged from 0.889 to 0.905, and the total was 0.959. The split-half reliability for each factor ranged from 0.814 to 0.894, and the total was 0.911. ConclusionThis study discovered a four-factor structure related to the difficulty scale of dementia nursing practice, and the scale’s reliability and validity were confirmed. The scale can be utilized to assess the difficulty of dementia nursing practice in general hospitals and may be employed in future research to improve dementia nursing practices.

Predictive factors of occupational stress among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study in Kashan, Iran

BackgroundConsidering the severe and sudden changes in the job conditions of nurses during the covid-19 pandemic, the increase in job tensions during this critical period and its consequences on the quantity and quality of nursing care, this study aims to investigate the job stress of nurses during the covid-19 pandemic and its predictors in Iran.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 nurses in ‘Kashan’, Iran, who were randomly selected using stratified sampling. Data were collected using two questionnaires on occupational stress and potential related factors. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 16.ResultsThe results showed that the occupational stress of nurses in Iran was at a medium to high level with a mean and standard deviation of 103.773 ± 15.742 (scale of 34–136). Factors such as satisfaction with physical health, quality of work life, satisfaction with the availability of facilities, sense of coherence, education level, work experience, job burnout, male gender, being native, and workplace were predictors of occupational stress and explained 23.3% of the variance in occupational stress score. The highest contribution was related to satisfaction with physical health.ConclusionConsidering the consequences of occupational stress for nurses, it is crucial for health and nursing authorities to take these factors into consideration in policy-making and planning.

The impact of job stress on perceived professional benefits among Chinese nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer: mediating effects of perceived social support and self-efficacy.

Nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer experience significant job stress, which adversely impacts their mental health. Previous studies have indicated that perceived professional benefits serves as a protective factor for nurses' mental health, and factors such as job stress, perceived social support and self-efficacy influence their perceived professional benefits. However, the relationships between these factors and the associated mechanisms have remained incompletely understood. This study explored the role of perceived social support and self-efficacy in job stress and perceived professional benefits among nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. During June and July 2023, an investigation was conducted in Anhui Province. The Nurse Job Stressors Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale were administered to 311 nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. A chained-mediated effect model was constructed and validated. Job stress negatively affected nurses' perceived professional benefits. Perceived social support was a mediator in job stress and nurses' perceived professional benefits, with a mediating effect value of -0.093. Additionally, perceived social support and self-efficacy functioned as sequential mediators in this relationship, with a mediating effect value of -0.032. This study unveils the influencing mechanisms of job stress on perceived professional benefits of nurses caring for patients with gynecological cancer. It is essential for nursing managers to alleviate nurses' job stress, provide sufficient and effective social support and improve their self-efficacy, ultimately enhancing their perceived professional benefits.

Exploring The Relationship Between Job Stress and Sleep Quality of Community Nurses in China

It is necessary that nurses have a proper sleep schedule to be able to serve their duty with proper dedication. However, in China it has been noticed that challenges within the healthcare system are affecting the sleep schedule of nurses indirectly. The lack of a proper working environment or job security has affected the sleep schedule for Chinese nurses majorly, one of the significant reasons being job stress. A quantitative study has been adopted in this research to identify the main reasons why nurses in China are having an imbalance over sleep quality. The findings of the study have shown high reliability of the methods used with the testing of the Cronbach Alpha value. Policymakers can use the findings of this study to entail different laws for improving the stress at work for the nurses to enhance their respective sleep qualities.

Perceived organizational politics: Implications for nurses’ stress and job satisfaction

BackgroundPerceived organizational politics is a common phenomenon in almost every organization and is associated with undesirable employee outcomes. Despite numerous studies on this important topic, studies describing the influence of perceived organizational politics on nurses' outcomes (job satisfaction and stress) remain underinvestigated. This study examined the impact of perceived organizational politics on job satisfaction and job stress among nurses. MethodsA quantitative cross-sectional design was used in this study. Two hundred and thirteen (213) nurses participated. Three standardized instruments were utilized: Perception of Organizational Politics, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Job Stress Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. FindingsNurses perceived a high level of organizational politics. We identified a significant correlation between perceived organizational politics, job stress, and job satisfaction in nursing. The results showed nurses' perception of organizational politics had a positive relationship with job stress and a negative relationship with job satisfaction. Managerial implicationHospital management should reconsider the organizational, group, and individual situations that create perceived organizational politics to prevent any unnecessary political behaviors in the hospital. Also, strategies to enhance nursing management and healthcare provision should be directed at reducing the use of politics to promote self-interest. Originality/valueOur study provides a novel insight into the unexplored nature and impact of perceived organizational politics on nurses' job satisfaction and stress in Ghana. It is the first research to investigate organizational politics using nursing population in the Ghanaian context and makes significant contributions to theory and practice.

Mental health and job stress of nurses in surgical system: what should we care

BackgroundJob stress has significant influence on the mental health of health care providers. The mental health and job stress of operating room nurses remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the mental health and job stress of nurses in surgical system in China, to provide evidences for clinical nurse management and care.MethodsThe nurses in the surgical system of our hospital were investigated by questionnaire in December 2022. The general information questionnaire, symptom check list 90 (SCL-90) and nurses’ job stressor scale (NJSS) were used for data collection. Pearson correlation and logistic analysis were conducted to evaluate the related influencing factors.ResultsA total of 171 nurses in surgical system were investigated. The mental health level of nurses in operating room was low. The job pressure of the nurses in the operating room was in the middle level. The nursing profession and work, workload and distribution, working environment and resources, patient care, management and interpersonal relationship were all positively correlated with SCL-90 score of nurses in operating room. Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, year of work experience, professional ranks and titles both are the influencing factors of SCL-90 score and of nurses in operating room.ConclusionsThe mental health of nurses in surgical system is affected by work pressure, ages, working years and professional titles. These factors should be considered in the psychological intervention of nurses in operating room in order to improve the health of clinical nurses.

The effect of electronic error-reporting forms on nurse's stress and the rate of error-reporting.

The patient safety culture includes a systematic approach that promotes safe care for patients and the leadership that supports it. Medical errors threaten patient safety. A significant portion of medical errors is committed by nurses. Although error-reporting provides valuable information to prevent errors, most nurses do not report their errors due to their high level of stress. This study was to investigate the effect of electronic error-reporting forms on nurses' stress and the rate of error-reporting. The nurses' level of stress was compared when using paper error-reporting and 6months after using electronic forms. A revised version of the Coudron questionnaire was completed by 186 nurses. Data were analyzed by SPSS 23 using Wilcoxon test. The number of reported errors in paper and electronic media was compared over the same period. Implementation of the electronic error-reporting form reduced the job stress of nurses by 22.22 points (p=.00) and increased the error-reporting rate by 12.86% (p<.05). Although nurse's stress significantly decreases after implementing electronic error-reporting forms, their level of stress is still high and they are still at risk for physical and mental problems. Using methods like modifying the error-reporting form will increase the error-reporting rate.

Relationship between Job Stress and Burnout of Psychiatric Nurses: The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital

Background &amp; Aims: Psychiatric nurses are critical in caring for patients with mental health problems and many challenging problems. They are also likely to be tired because they have been in risky and stressful conditions for a long time. Thus, it is necessary to control job stress and burnout. This study examined the mediating influence of psychological capital in the relationship between job stress and burnout of psychiatric nurses. Materials and Methods: The research method was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population comprised all psychiatric nurses working in three psychiatric hospitals in Tehran, Iran from 10 August to 15 September 2022. The study selected 170 psychiatric nurses working as samples through convenience sampling. The research tools were Job Stress Questionnaire of Nurses, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). After completing the questionnaires, Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression by IBM SPSS 24.0 program. Results: The findings show a significant correlation between job stress, psychological capital, and burnout. The path coefficient of the direct effect of job stress on job burnout is significant (β=0.524, P&lt;0.001). The path coefficient of the direct effect of psychological capital on job burnout is significant (β=0.551, P&lt;0.05). The bootstrap result for this model was 0.49. The confidence interval’s lower and upper limits were calculated as 0.41 and 0.58, respectively. Conclusion: These findings suggest that psychiatric nurses’ burnout can be decreased by implementing different healthcare programs to increase psychological capital. In general, according to the results of this research, it is suggested that the phenomena of occupational stress and burnout among nurses should be taken seriously. These variables can have destructive effects on the quality of nurses’ therapeutic performance. One of the suggestions that can be made is holding psychological workshops to improve self-efficacy, optimism, hope, flexibility and psychological capital among nurses in general.

Relationship between emotional intelligence and job stressors of psychiatric nurses: A multi-centre cross-sectional study.

To investigate the impact of socio-demographic factors and job stressors on the emotional intelligence of psychiatric nurses. Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in enabling nurses to effectively manage their own emotions, comprehend the emotions of others and assist individuals in dealing with diverse stressors. Nevertheless, a comprehensive conceptualization of the relationship between job stressors and emotional intelligence remains lacking. This study employs a multi-centre cross-sectional design. A multi-centre cross-sectional survey involving 1083 registered nurses from 11 psychiatric hospitals across four provinces in China was conducted. Non-probability sampling was utilised. The survey encompassed assessments of nurse job stressors, emotional intelligence using a scale and socio-demographic characteristics using a questionnaire. A multiple linear regression model was applied to identify significant variables associated with emotional intelligence based on demographic attributes and various nurse job stressors. The study adhered to the STROBE checklist. The findings revealed a noteworthy negative correlation between nurse job stressors and emotional intelligence. Socio-demographic factors and job stressors of certain nurses were able to predict emotional intelligence and its dimensions among psychiatric nurses, with percentages of 44.50%, 40.10%, 36.40%, 36.60% and 34.60%. Providing emotional intelligence training for psychiatric nurses could enhance their capacity to cope effectively with workplace stress, particularly among younger nurses who engage in limited physical activities. The analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence and nurse job stressors could facilitate early detection and intervention by managers based on pertinent factors. This, in turn, could elevate the emotional intelligence level of psychiatric nurses. This study did not recruit participants, so details of participants were not be involved.

간호인성, 행복 플로리시, 직무스트레스가 임상 간호사의 소진에 미치는 영향

This study was done to identify variables predicting of burnout with nursing character, flourish and job stress in clinical nurses. The participants were 183 clinical nurses at a general hospital located in P city, Korea. Data were collected from August to October, 2022 by questionnaire survey. Data analysis was done by using SPSS WIN 26.0 program with independent t-test and analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression. This study shows negative correlations between burnout and nursing character(r=-.41, p&lt;.001), flourish(r=-.58, p&lt;.001). In addition, it showed a positive correlation for job stress(r=.36, p&lt;.001). The flourish(β=-.49), job stress(β=.38), nursing character(β=-.16) have a 49.8%(Adj R² .489) explanatory power for the nursing burnout in clinical nurses. Therefore, in order to reduce the burnout of clinical nurses, it is necessary to develop a support system and program within the nursing organization to reduce job stress generated in nursing situations, strengthen flourish and improve positive nursing character.

Relationship Between Self‐Compassion and Turnover Intention Among Early Career Nurses in Japan1

AbstractThis study examined the relationship between self‐compassion and turnover intention among early career nurses in Japan, as well as the mediating effects of nursing job stress, burnout, and work engagement. A total of 326 nurses, with over 5 years of experience, participated in a web‐based survey. Structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the relationship between self‐compassion and other factors related to turnover. Self‐compassion, job stress, burnout, work engagement, and turnover intention were assessed using the Japanese Burnout Scale, Nursing Job Stressor Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Self‐Compassion Scale. The model fit indices showed acceptable estimates. Self‐compassion was negatively associated with nursing job stress and burnout and positively associated with work engagement. Moreover, conflict with other nursing staff and quantitative work were positively associated with burnout, whereas qualitative work was negatively associated with work engagement. However, nursing role conflict was negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with work engagement. Burnout predicted turnover intention, whereas work engagement did not. Thus, increasing self‐compassion may reduce stress among early career nurses and reduce turnover intention.

The Impact of Nurses Job Stress Level on Patients Care in Tertiary Care Hospital

Nursing is dynamic in nature and nurses are often in high level of job stress because of hard job, work load and burden of responsibilities. These stressors can have negative effect on patient care. The focus of study was to evaluate the correlation of nurses’ job stress and quality of care delivered to patients. Objective: To assess the nurses job stress level and the association of job stress and patient care at tertiary care hospital. Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 144 participants working in tertiary care hospital. The nurses were selected via convenient sampling technique.
