Background: Universally, nurses have been reported to be a group at high risk of workplace stress. However, nurses’ responses to stressful situations at work could be the outcomes of individual differences and organisational factors.Objectives: We examined the independent and joint contributions of four dimensions of emotional intelligence and perceived organisational support in work stress of nurses in a teaching hospital in Nigeria.Methods: The study was a cross-sectional survey research design, which selected 228 (41 male and 187 female nurses) nurses through the use of convenience sampling. Questionnaires comprising demographics with work stress, organisational support and emotional intelligence scales were administered to the sampled 228 nurses in the study. Data were analysed with the use of correlational matrix and hierarchical multiple regression.Results: Self-emotion appraisal, others’ emotion appraisal, use of emotion, regulation of emotion and perceived organisational support were found to have joint contributions to explaining work stress among nurses. Others’ emotion appraisal, use of emotion and perceived organisational support were found to have independent relationships with work stress.Conclusion: Our findings stress that judgement of others’ emotions, accurate use of emotion by nurses and support from management of the hospital are most important in explaining their reactions towards work-related stress.

Objective: Musculoskeletal discomfort is common in people working in poor ergonomic designs with prolonged poor posture. The main purpose of this study was to compare the postural discomfort among right and left-handed university students of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was carried out using standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire. Samples were collected by simple convenient sampling technique from 221 students (53.8% females and 46.2% Males) comprising of 110 left and 111 right-handed University students. Results: The comparison of percentages among left and right-handed participants at hip, knee and ankle were as follows: hip (left-handed 19% and 5.42% right-handed), knee (left-handed 17.19%, right-handed 9.04%), ankle (left-handed 9.50%, right-handed 8.14%). The prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal discomfort was significant in left-handed participants as compared to right-handed participants. The highest frequency of discomfort was found in the neck and shoulder region of left-handed participants. Chi square test showed a significant difference in frequencies of discomfort in left and right-handed participants (p<0.01), whereas there was as such no significance in ankle region (p>0.05). Conclusion: Postural discomfort was more prevalent among left-handed university students as compare to right-handed students. The highest frequency of discomfort was found in the neck and shoulder region of left-handed participants. Further research and attention should be directed towards the relation of handedness with musculoskeletal discomfort and factors influencing postural discomfort in left-handed students.
