ABSTRAKT Wstęp: Stres jest nieodłącznym elementem pracy personelu medycznego. Problem stresu w środowisku pracy personelu pielęgniarskiego nabiera znaczenia w kontekście coraz częstszych braków kadrowych, a także braku wsparcia ze strony pracodawców. Celem pracy była analiza czynników stresogennych związanych z codzienną pracą personelu pielęgniarskiego wybranych oddziałów szpitalnych oraz zbadanie związku pomiędzy stresem a sposobami radzenia sobie z nim. Materiały i metody: W badaniu wykorzystano kwestionariusz wywiadu oraz dwa wystandaryzowane narzędzia badawcze: Nursing Stress Scale i Brief Cope-28 Scale. W badaniu prowadzonym anonimowo dobrowolny udział wzięło 110 pielęgniarek. Obliczenia statystyczne wykonano w oparciu o program komputerowy IBM SPSS 20 oraz arkusz Excel. Wyniki: Analizy statystyczne wykazały, że spośród wielu czynników stresogennych w środowisku pracy personelu pielęgniarskiego największe źródło stresu stanowiły: śmierć i umieranie (M 15,19; SD ±3,10), obciążenie pracą (M 14,73; SD ±3,13) oraz konflikty na linii pielęgniarka–lekarz (M 10,42; SD ±1,85). Wykazano istotną statystycznie zależność pomiędzy miejscem zatrudnienia a poziomem odczuwanego stresu (H = 13,99; p < 0,05). W sytuacjach stresowych personel pielęgniarski najczęściej odnosił się do aktywnych sposobów radzenia sobie ze stresem, w tym rozwiązywania sytuacji stresowych poprzez planowanie (M 6,31; SD ±1,31) oraz pozytywnego przewartościowania (M 5,84; SD ±1,49). Dalsze analizy wykazały związek pomiędzy wiekiem a uciekaniem do spraw duchowych lub poszukiwaniem wsparcia społecznego. Wnioski: Praca personelu pielęgniarskiego nacechowana jest wysokim poziomem stresu, który w dużym stopniu zależy od profilu medycznego danego oddziału. Część czynników stresogennych można zmniejszyć poprzez poprawę organizacji pracy, zwłaszcza w kontekście współpracy pielęgniarki z lekarzem.

Stressful working conditions are correlated with a negative impact on the well-being of nurses, job satisfaction, quality of patient care and the health of the staff. The Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) has been shown to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess occupational stressors among nurses. This study updates the psychometric properties of the “NSS-Spanish version” and validates a short-form version. A cross-sectional design was carried out for this study. A reliability analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis and an exploratory factor analysis were undertaken. Items were systematically identified for reduction using statistical and theoretical analysis. Correlation testing and criterion validity confirmed scale equivalence. A total of 2195 Registered Nurses and 1914 Licensed Practical Nurses were enrolled. The original 34-item scale obtained a good internal consistency but an unsatisfactory confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis. The short-form Nursing Stress Scale (11-items) obtained a good internal consistency for Registered Nurses (α = 0.83) and for Licensed Practical Nurses (α = 0.79). Both Nursing Stress Scales obtained a strong correlation for Registered Nurses (rho = 0.904) and for Licensed Practical Nurses (rho = 0.888). The 11-item version of the Nursing Stress Scale is a valid and reliable scale to assess stress perception among Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses. Its short-form nature improves the psychometric properties and the feasibility of the tool.

Despite awareness of the difficulties faced by refugees in flight, little is known about their mental health following resettlement. This article investigated rates, predictors, and moderators of anxiety, depression, and acculturative stress among members of the resettled Bhutanese refugee community in northern Queensland. A total of 148 participants (51% male), 18 to 83 years of age, participated in this cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was comprised of bilingual (English–Nepali) versions of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21; anxiety and depression), the Multidimensional Acculturative Stress Scale (MASS; acculturative stress), Brief-COPE (coping style), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS; social support), and socio-demographics. Participants reported severe levels of anxiety and moderate levels of depression, and moderate to high levels of acculturative stress. Acculturative stress was a substantive contributor to both depression and anxiety scores. Additional risk factors included the use of maladaptive/avoidant coping styles, age, and education. English language proficiency was strongly protective, as was education to Year 12 and current employment. This research is the first of its kind with this refugee group in Australia, and highlights the longevity and severity of mental health issues that affect Bhutanese refugees resettled in Australia.

The purpose of this study was to translate the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity among Chinese nurses in Taiwan. Potential participants were asked to self-administer a Chinese version of the NSS. The agreement estimation was used to determine the equivalence of the meaning between the Chinese and original English versions and was rated by five bilingual nurses as 92% accurate for the 34 items. The test-retest reliability for the NSS at 2 weeks was .71 (p = .022, n = 10). Internal consistency reliability and factor analysis were tested with 770 nurses from 65 inpatient units at a medical center in Taiwan. The internal consistency of the Chinese version of the NSS for an overall coefficient alpha is .91 for the total scale, and ranges from .67 to .79 for the subscales. The Chinese version of the NSS explains 53.77% of the variance in work stressors among Chinese nurses in Taiwan. Overall, the Chinese version of the NSS is internally consistent but may not be stable over 2 weeks. There was adequate evidence of the reliability and validity of the NSS-Chinese as an instrument appropriate to measure work stress among Chinese nurses. The translated NSS could be a useful tool for examining the frequency and major sources of stress experienced by Chinese nurses in hospital settings, and for the development of appropriate interventions for stress reduction.

Physical health is not the only area affected by the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic. There are also other consequences that have globally affected many millions at other levels, namely: Societal, political, economic, and cultural. This study aims to survey alcohol drinking throughout the pandemic so as to investigate those factors considered most relevant; i.e., sociodemographic and clinical. A longitudinal study was designed. The first (or initial) stage was completed between April 10–20 2020 on 443 subjects during the enforcement of the “Lockdown” in Poland. The second stage will be due in June 2020. As well as an in-house questionnaire, the study used: The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Brief COPE Inventory (Mini COPE). Alcohol was the most commonly used psychoactive substance (73%) identified. More than 30% changed their drinking habits because of the pandemic, with 16% actually drinking less, whilst 14% did so more. The former group was significantly younger than the latter. Amongst the stress-related coping strategies, it was found that current alcohol drinkers were significantly less able to find anything positive about the pandemic situation (positive reframing) and were mentally less able to cope. Those drinking more now were found to have been drinking more intensively before the pandemic started.

In the study of work-related stress among nurses, the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) is the best known and most widely used scale. This article presents an overview of the NSS and its use, and describes the development of an expanded instrument (ENSS) to measure sources and frequency of stress perceived by nurses. Findings are based on a random sample of 2,280 nurses in Ontario working in a wide range of work settings. Pretests for the study indicated that an expanded version of the NSS was necessary in order to adequately measure sources of stress among nurses. The sources of stress comprised nine subscales—death and dying, conflict with physicians, inadequate preparation, problems with peers, problems with supervisors, workload, uncertainty concerning treatment, patients and their families, and discrimination. Confirmatory factor analyses, run on two randomly selected halves of the sample, came close to meeting standard criteria levels. The alpha coefficients of eight of the subscales were .70 or higher, and concurrent and construct validity assessments provided strong support for the expanded NSS.

Background: Despite its popularity, the psychometric properties of the Extended Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) in working adults are yet to be evaluated in different settings. Methods: This study examined the ENSS in acute care settings among licensed nurses through a questionnaire survey. The sample responses were examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: A response rate of 37% was achieved; 199 licensed nurses completed the questionnaire. Workplace stress was found to have factorial structures similar to those in the previous studies that had different samples. In this sample, all subfactors had satisfactory coefficients ranged between .58 and .89. The goodness of fit indices met the usual criteria. The reliability ranged between .64 and .95. Conclusions: The ENSS showed a stable structure with reasonable internal consistency and construct validity.
