Introduction: Nursing has been identified as an occupation that has high levels of stress. Job stress brought about hazardous impacts not only on nurses' health but also on their abilities to cope with job demands. Objectives: This study aimed at finding out the degree of work-related stress among the staff nurses and various determinants, which have a impact on it. Materials and Methods: Institutional-based cross-sectional study conducted on GNM qualified nurses. Predesigned and pre-tested questionnaire covering their sociodemographic variables in part I and professional life stress scale by David Fontana in part II. Analysis used was Chi-square test and logistic regression for various factors. Results: Risk for professional stress due to poor and satisfactory doctor's attitude was found about 3 and 4 times more than with excellent attitude of doctors toward the staff nurses. A statistically significant association (P < 0.024) between department of posting and level of stress. Nurses reported that they had no time for rest, of whom 42% were suffering from moderate-to-severe stress. The nurses who felt that the job was not tiring were found to be less stressed as those who perceived job as tiring (OR = 0.43). Conclusion: The main nurses' occupational stressors were poor doctor's attitude, posting in busy departments (emergency/ICU), inadequate pay, too much work, and so on. Thus, hospital managers should initiate strategies to reduce the amount of occupational stress and should provide more support to the nurses to deal with the stress.

| Introduction | |  |
Occupational stress is a recognized problem in health care workers. [1] Nursing has been identified as an occupation that has high levels of stress. [2]
It was found that job stress brought about hazardous impacts not only on nurses' health but also in their abilities to cope with job demands. This seriously impairs the provision of quality care and the efficacy of health services delivery. [3],[4] Nursing has been identified by a number of studies as a stressful occupation. [5],[6] Stress has a cost for individuals in terms of health, wellbeing, and job satisfaction, as well as for the organization in terms of absenteeism and turnover, which in turn may impact the quality of patient care. [7],[8]
Stress has been categorized as an antecedent or stimulus, as a consequence or response, and as an interaction. It has been studied from many different frameworks. For example, Selye [9] proposed a physiological assessment that supports considering the association between stress and illness. Conversely, Lazarus and Folkman [10] advocated a psychological view in which stress is "a particular relationship between the person and the environment that is appraised by the person as taxing or exceeding his or her resources and endangering his or her wellbeing."
Stress is not inherently deleterious, however. Each individual's cognitive appraisal, their perceptions, and interpretations, gives meaning to events and determines whether events are viewed as threatening or positive. [10] Personality traits also influence the stress equation because what may be overtaxing to one person may be exhilarating to another. [11]
In fact, occupational stress has been cited as a significant health problem. [12],[13],[14] Work stress in nursing was first assessed by Menzies [15] who identified four sources of anxiety among nurses: Patient care, decision making, taking responsibility, and change. The nurse's role has long been regarded as stress-filled based on the physical labor, human suffering, work hours, staffing, and interpersonal relationships that are central to the work nurses do. Since the mid-1980s, nurses' work stress has been escalating due to the increasing use of technology, continuing rises in health care costs, [16] and turbulence within the work environment. [17]
Most people can cope with stress for short periods but Chronic stress produces prolonged changes in the physiological state. [18] The issues of job stress, coping, and burnout among nurses are of universal concern to all managers and administrators in the area of health care. [2] All these stresses can be modified in a positive way by the use of appropriate stress management skills.
Thus, this study aimed at finding out (1) the degree of professional stress among the staff nurses and (2) various determinants, which have an impact on it so that strategies to improve their personal and professional quality of life can be planned out in the long run.

It is an Institutional-based cross-sectional study, conducted in the year 2013-2014. Place of the study is Swami Vivekanand Hospital, attached to Subharti Medical College, Meerut. It is a tertiary hospital. Study population comprised of nursing staff working in the hospital. Study unit included in the study was the GNM qualified nurse. All the GNM qualified nurses working in the day or night shift were covered by consequential sampling technique; and all those who were on leave or not available at the time of data collection twice were excluded from the study. Thus, the total sample size of the study comprised of 100 staff nurses.
Data collection technique: Predesigned and pre-tested, and validated questionnaire in English and Hindi by the experts was administered. It had two parts:
Part I: Covering their sociodemographic variables and variables on their working environment, including attitude of the different category of working staff, salary, job condition, and so on.
Part II: Including Professional life stress scale by David Fontana, The British Psychological Society and Routledge Ltd, Leicester, England, 1989. It consists of 22 questions. It has covered different variables like personality perception by others, optimism for life, satisfaction to self and work, adjustment with the professional environment, and so on. A total score 60, was classified into
0-15: Stress is not a problem in life
16-30: Moderate stress, which can reasonably be reduced
31-45: Stress is clearly a problem and needs remedial action
46-60: Stress is a major problem and something must be done.
Quality Assurances of the data collection: Data were collected by the well-trained and well-qualified two primary investigators themselves.

| Discussion | | |
Stress up to a certain extent, will improve peoples' performance and quality of life because it is healthy and essential that they should experience challenges within their lives, [19] but if pressure becomes excessive, it loses its beneficial effect and become harmful, [20] because it is the reaction of people under pressure or other types of demands placed on them and arise when they worry that they cannot cope. [21]
It is important that stress is a state, not an illness, which may be experienced as a result of an exposure to wide range of work demands and in turn can contribute to an equally wide range of outcomes, [22] which may concern the employees' health and be an illness or an injury or changes in his/her behavior and lifestyle.
Interpersonal relationships and stress
In our study, 91% staff nurses were younger than 35 years with a mean age of 27.41 years (SD = 7.06), 34% were male nurses. One third staff nurses were married and out of them 18% had 2 or 3 children. Work life, however, is not independent from family life; these domains may even be in conflict [Table 1]. [23],[24] In our study professional stress was not significantly associated with socio-demographic factors like age, marital status, no of children and gender of the staff nurse [Table 2].
Study has revealed for poor doctors attitude has been perceived by 5% staff nurse, whereas 21% perceive poor attitude from patients side [Table 3]. Doctors attitude was perceived as significant association with professional stress [Table 4]; and risk for professional stress due to poor and satisfactory doctor's attitude was found about 3 and 4 times more than with excellent attitude of doctors toward the staff nurses (OR = 2.97 and OR = 3.97, respectively). Similarly, Blair and Littlewood emphasized that work relationships are potential stressors. [25] In a study of 260 RNs, conflict with physicians was found to be more psychologically damaging than conflict within the nursing profession [Table 5].

Verbal abuse from physicians was noted to be stressful for staff nurses. [27] Similarly, Adib-Hajbaghery and colleagues found that poor relationships between nurses and other health care professionals is a major source of occupational stress among hospital nurses. [28] French and colleagues [29] identified conflict with physicians, problems with peers and supervisors, and discrimination as stressors for nurses. Thus, developing good personal relationship at work place is necessary for the prevention of job stress among hospital nurses.
Association between department of posting and stress
The target study revealed a statistically significant association (P < 0.024) between department of posting and level of stress [Table 6]. Majority (43%) of the nurses posted in the emergency/ICU department were stressed out, of whom 2% were severely stressed. It was found that staff nurses posted in medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obs/gynecology department were less stressed as compared with those posted in the emergency/ICU department (OR = 0.32; 0.41; 0.54; 0.28, respectively) [Table 5]. In another study, a statistical significant association was seen between nurses' occupational stress and their area of work or specialty (P < 0.01). The mean score of nurses' occupational stress in the psychiatry ward (3.86), ICU (3.43), operation theater (3.45), pediatrics (3.41), cardiology (3.35), internal medicine (3.34), surgery (3.30), accident and casualty department (3.27), obstetrics (3.26), orthopedics (3.24), and CCU (3.21) were high. Nurses working in intensive care units ranked insufficient regular breaks, work shifts, too much work, and staff shortage as the main sources of distress. Nurses in medical, surgical care units, and operation theaters ranked workload, time pressure, staff shortage, and lack of management and co-workers' support more stressful. [30] Similarly, Rahmani and colleagues reported high job stress in ICU nurses in Tabriz University Hospitals, Iran. [31] | Table 6: Association between working environment and professional stress

Association between working conditions and stress
In the current study, as high as 80% nurses reported that they had no time for rest, out of which 42% were suffering from moderate-to-severe stress, whereas 45% said that they found their job tiring, out of whom 33% were under moderate-to-severe stress [Table 6]. Also, the staff nurses who felt that the job was not tiring were found to be less stressed as those who perceived job as tiring (OR = 0.43). Inadequate salary was also one of the key factors causing stress as perceived by 75% nurses (OR = 2.29) [Table 5]. Similarly, too much work to do and inadequate staff to cover duties were the most significant associated factors of stress for Iranian nurses. [30] Several studies have highlighted work overloads and time pressure as significant contributors to work stress among health care professionals [32],[33] An excessive workload increases job tension and decreases job satisfaction, which in turn, increases the likelihood of turnover. [34],[35] A study by Ali Mohammad Mosadeghrad among Iranian nurses revealed excessive workload (3.72), and time pressure (3.63) as one of the major factors leading to stress in terms of mean scores of occupational stress among them. [30]
| Conclusion | | |
The level of occupational stress among a group of Indian staff nurses was measured using a questionnaire survey and professional stress scale and GHQ were applied. In addition, factors contributing to occupational stress were examined. Hospital nurses in this study reported moderate (51%) to severe (3%) levels of job-related stress. The main nurses' occupational stressors were poor doctor's attitude, posting in busy departments (emergency/ICU), inadequate pay, too much work, time pressure, and tiring job with insufficient time for rest and meals. Stress decreases attention, concentration, and decision making, and judgment skills. Occupational stress is also negatively related to quality of care due to loss of compassion for patients and increased incidences of mistakes and practice errors. Thus, hospital managers should initiate strategies to reduce the amount of occupational stress among the nurses. They should provide more support to the nurses to deal with the stress.
