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.

Objectives. Students of medical sciences are exposed to many emotional and mental problems. In light of the importance of sleep quality in learning and liveliness, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between psychological variables (stress, anxiety, and depression) and sleep quality of students. Design. This research is a cross-sectional analytical study, where all students studying at Fasa University of Medical Sciences in 2012-2013 year were selected. To examine the students’ stress, anxiety, and depression values, the standardized 21-item DASS-21 was used, and to examine their sleep quality, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used. Results. The results of the study demonstrated that 73% of the students have moderate and severe stress, and 46.4% of them have PSQ scores ≥ 5. The students’ mean sleep quality score was 4.65±2.37, and their stress score was 8.09±5.14. A statistically significant relationship was found between the students’ stress levels and sleep quality (P<0.001). Conclusion. The high stress levels decrease students’ sleep quality. High stress levels and also the significant relationship between stress value and decrease in students’ sleep quality call for more attention to and care for students’ emotional and mental issues and timely proper interference on the part of authorities.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between motivation, competence, supervision and appreciation to the performance of nurses in implementing nursing care at the General Hospital Bethesda GMIM Tomohon. This was an observational study with a case control design. The case samples were the executive nurses at the inpatient room. The sampling method that was used was Lemenshow formula. The data were collected from questionnaire and observation sheet, and be analyzed with the chi-square bivariate and multivariate logistic regression test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between motivation (OR 6,98, p=0,004), supervision (OR 4,69, p=0,019), and appreciation (OR 19,79, p=0,000) to the performance of nurses, meanwhile competence (OR 1,91, p=0,409) had no significant relationship with the performance of nurses. The multivariate analysis showed that appreciation was the most dominant variable that affected the performance with an Odds Ratio 16.513 and statistically significant (p=0.004). The nurse’s performance was associated with motivation, supervision and appreciaton. Therefore, those aspects that affect motivation, supervision and appreciaton of work need to be managed properly in order to achieve the best performance of nurses.Keywords: motivation, competence, supervision, apreciation, performance, nurseAbstrak: Kinerja perawat di ruangan inap Rumah Sakit Umum Bethesda GMIM Tomohon dapat ditentukan dari mutu asuhan keperawatan yang diberikan.

Data were obtained using forms collected during three months in the inpatient ward of covid-19 in Zahedan teaching hospitals. The research samples were 235 nurses working in different wards of the hospital participated in this study and answered the three-part questionnaire containing demographic and job information, stress resulted by covid-19 and job performance. The collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, version 20. There were used the descriptive and analytical statistics including frequency, mean, standard deviation and t test. Results: Most of the participants in this study were women (68%) under the age of 30 (59.4%). There is a significant relationship between the effect of Covid-19 on job stress and job performance. Thus, the effect of Covid-19 on job stress is direct, i.e. with the greater effect of Covid-19, the amount of stress increases by 39% ) p = 0.00, r = 0.39(. The effect of Covid-19 on the job performance was inversely so that with increasing the effect of Covid-19, job performance decreased by -20% (-r= 0.20, p=0.01). The findings showed there is a significant relationship between stress resulted by Covid-19 and the job performance. Discussion: The level of stress in nurses working in Covid-19-related wards in Zahedan teaching hospitals is moderate. It seems that paying attention to nurses' education to deal with critical situations similar to Covid-19 and increasing personal protective equipment can be effective in preventing nurses from developing stress and anxiety, and then their job performance will be improved.

Also, the level of fear of coronavirus is below average among the respondents. The research showed that emotional exhaustion and fear of COVID-19 were positively correlated (p < 0.05), but there was not any significant correlation between depersonalization and fear of Coronavirus; as the relationship between reduced personal accomplishment and fear of COVID-19. In addition, there were significant correlations between age and reduced personal accomplishment, as well as marital status and reduced personal accomplishment (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the results showed that there were not any significant correlations between gender and burnout dimensions, nor between educational degree and burnout dimensions.Conclusion: As job burnout reduces the quality of nursing care, managers must take strategies that reduce job burnout.
