Introduction: the nursing profession is in the group of high-stress occupations. Mindfulness is a specific attitude towards the experience that relies on the two elements of present and acceptance. This study investigates the relationship between mindfulness and job stress in nurses. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive correlational study, 270 nurses working in Panj Azar Hospital in Gorgan were included in the study via convenience sampling. The instruments were a demographic checklist and two standard questionnaires, including the Brown and Ryan mindfulness questionnaire and Tuft and Anderson nursing job stress questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS17 software at the statistical level of 0.05 (p≤ 0.05).  Results: According to the results, the nurses of Panj Azar Hospital, with an average score of about 80.93%, suffer from moderate job stress. This variable has a significant relationship with gender and marriage. In this study, the average score of nurses' mindfulness is about 72.20. The results also showed a negative correlation (-0.24) between mindfulness and job stress.  Conclusion: The mindfulness variable can predict nurses' job stress. Therefore, the nurses who have more mindfulness experience lower stress.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the moderating influence of organizational climate in the relationship between job stress and intent to stay. Design/methodology/approach This study has used a non-probability sampling design for data collection. A semi-structured questionnaire has been prepared and a street survey has been carried out at popular public places in Macau. Findings This study shows that stressful employees working in organizations characterized by unsupportive organizational climate had far less desire to stay with the organization than those working in organizations with supportive organizational climate. Research limitations/implications Street intercept survey is a technique of convenience sampling. This makes it difficult to generalize the study’s findings to the entire population. Originality/value Few studies to date have paid attention to the influence of organizational climate between job stress and intent to stay. The multi-industry context from which the data are collected suggests that the results and findings are useful to managers and practitioners from across a broad range of business sectors.

Job stress is considered one of the critical causes of construction workers’ unsafe behaviors. As a mainstay industry in many countries, the construction industry has a considerable number of employees and the research on how job stress affects workers’ unsafe behaviors has important theoretical and practical significance to improve construction safety performance through better job stress management. In this study, the authors thoroughly reviewed the literature and conducted semi-structured interviews to identify the dimensions of job stress, designed the job stress scale and cited the safety behavior measurement scale. After that, a questionnaire survey was developed using the proposed measurement scale and distributed to the construction employees from a project in Beijing. One hundred fifty responses were collected and analyzed using reliability analysis to validate the scale’s internal consistency. Results from factor analysis indicate that the scales of job stress measurement can be grouped into six dimensions. To demonstrate the applicability of the developed scale on construction safety management research, the collected data was used to test the hypothesis that job stress has a negative correlation with safety behavior. Results show that the hypothesis is valid, and there is a negative correlation between job stress and safety behavior. In addition, finer results of the relationship between the six dimensions of job stress and safety behavior can be obtained. In summary, this study developed an improved stress scale for construction workers in China, and the proposed scale was validated by analyzing the data from an empirical study in Beijing.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the global crisis of stress and burnout among healthcare workers (HCWs). But few studies have empirically examined the factors driving these outcomes. We examined the association between perceived preparedness to respond to the pandemic and HCW stress and burnout and identified potential mediating factors among HCWs in Ghana. Methods: Data are from HCWs in Ghana who completed a cross-sectional self-administered online survey; 414 and 409 HCWs completed stress and burnout questions, respectively. Perceived preparedness, stress, and burnout were measured using validated psychosocial measures. We assessed associations using linear regressions with robust standard errors. Results: The average score for preparedness was 24 (SD=8.8), 16.3 (SD=5.9) for stress, and 37.4 (SD=15.5) for burnout. In multivariate analysis, HCWs who felt somewhat prepared and prepared had lower stress (β=-1.89, 95%CI:-3.49 to -0.30 and β=-2.66, 95%CI:-4.48 to -0.84) and burnout (β=-7.74, 95%CI:-11.8 to -3.64 and β=-9.25, 95%CI:-14.1 to - 4.41) scores than those who did not feel prepared. Appreciation from management and family support were associated with lower stress and burnout, while fear of infection was associated with higher stress and burnout. Fear of infection partially mediated the relationship between perceived preparedness and stress/burnout, accounting for about 16 to 17% of the effect. Conclusion: Low perceived preparedness to respond to COVID-19 increases stress and burnout, and this is partly through fear of infection. Interventions to increase HCWs' morale and capacity to respond to the pandemic are needed.

BACKGROUND: Patient safety is a key element of the quality of health services. Nurses are the largest group that care for patients, observing safe in nursing care would reduce injuries, disability, morbidity and mortality. However, high stress can lead to a decline in the quality of nursing care. AIM: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job stress of the nurses and patient safety in a teaching hospital of Hamadan in 2017. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study. The data was gathered by a questionnaire of Nurse’s job stress prepared by the researcher that after confirming the validity and reliability was completed by 198 nurses of three teaching hospitals of Hamadan city that were selected by simple random sampling and the checklist of patient safety that was collected by the researcher. Data analysis was done in the two levels of descriptive and analysis statistics. RESULTS: The results showed that the job stress of the nurses and patient safety (mean = 1.75 and SD = 0.114) have been at an average level. There was no statistically significant relationship between Nurse’s job stress and patient safety because the Spearman correlation coefficient showed that r = 0.007 and p = 0.919. Among the demographic factors, there was only a significant relationship between marital status and Nurse’s job stress (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Because of nursing job stress is affected by different working conditions, further studies in the many hospitals are needed. Moderate levels of patient safety are not acceptable; Therefore, heath’s policymakers should focus on providing the safety of all patients at the optimal level, with more effort to reduce the stress of their nurses at the lowest level. e optimal level, with more effort to reduce stress of their nurses at the lowest level.

Nurses are among the occupational groups that experience the most intense work stress since they provide care to a stressful group that is sick or at risk of illness. Stigmatization is one of the factors that negatively affect the working life and the functioning of the environment. A high tendency to stigmatize can further increase work stress on employees. The study was conducted in a descriptive and relationship-seeking manner in order to determine the levels of nurses' job stress and tendency to stigmatize, and the relationship between job stress and stigma tendency. The study was carried out with 245 nurses working in a university hospital. The study data were obtained using the personal information form, the Work Stress Scale and the Stigmatization Scale. It was determined that the average score of the nurses' Work Stress Scale is 2.44 ± 0.54 and 75.9% of them have a stress level that creates a stimulus effect and increases success. It was found that the levels of nurses' psychological stigma tendency (49.11 ± 12.00) were below the average; It was found that 31.8% of them had high stigma tendency levels. It has been determined that the Stigmatization Scale of nurses gives the highest scores to the items "Employees with more seniority like to establish authority over young people", "I do not meet with a person whose lifestyle does not suit me outside of work" and "The efficiency of the elderly personnel in the work environment is very low". When the relationship between the nurses' Job Stress Scale and the Stigmatization Tendency Scale general point average is examined; It was determined that there is a weakly significant positive correlation (r = 0.276; p <0.01). In addition, it was found that the job stress levels of nurses with a high stigma tendency were statistically significantly higher (p <0.01). It is recommended to provide training and information on the stigma tendency and coping with work stress with in-service trainings.
