Burnout , Perceived Stress and Coping Styles among Nurses at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Muscat = الاحتراق النفسي ، و إدراك الكرب ، و أسلوب التعامل بين الممرضين بمستشفى الرعاية الطبية الثالثة في مسقط بسلطنة عمان

The purpose of this study was to examine college students' smoking behavior as well as their current smoking status and its effects on perceived levels of stress and coping styles. Students from four universities completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations and a smoking questionnaire. Of the 1330 students who participated in the study, 19 percent were current smokers. On the Perceived Stress Scale, current smokers' mean score was significantly higher than that of the students who had never smoked. In addition, the current smokers' mean score for Emotion-oriented Coping was significantly higher than that of the students who had never smoked or formerly smoked. The former smokers' mean score on Avoidance-oriented Coping was significantly lower than the never and the current smokers. Ten percent of the students smoked their first cigarette after high school, while 11 percent started to smoke on a daily basis after high school. Based on the findings, programs that focus on smoking prevention and cessation for college students are recommended.

ABSTRACT Literature has presented nursing as a stressful profession. The present study was conducted to compare stress level and job stressors operating in two different units, i.e. intensive care units (ICU) and general wards of a tertiary care hospital of North India. This is a cross-sectional study involving 285 nurses (general wards = 176; ICU = 109). The nurses were selected conveniently. Demographic profile sheet, modified workplace stress scale (WSS), workplace stress symptom scale (WSSS) and coping checklist (CCL) of Rao, Subbakrishna and Prabhu (1989) was used in the study. Findings of the study revealed moderate to high stress level among general wards and ICU nurses with young female nurses experiencing more stress. Further, workload, role ambiguity and lesser social support accounted for significant amount stress among nurses working on both the units while external factors, such as physical environment and resources hardly contributed to stress. It was also found that the ICU nurses experienced stress more in the form of exhaustion (11.9%); irritation (11.9%) and reduced self-confidence (0.9%) that those working in general wards. However, the nurses on both the units use distraction, positive coping, problem-solving and religious strategies to manage and handle their stress. The findings of the study give insight into stress and stressors related to job which can be buffered using various stress management strategies by the nurse managers.
