Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of job stress in hospital nurses. The predictors of job stress were the subject’s general characteristics, communication style, critical thinking disposition and job satisfaction.
Methods: 294 nurses who had worked in a hospital participated in this study. The data were analysed with descriptive analysis methods including a t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.
Results: The job stress score for nurses was 111.6. There was a statistically significant difference between job stress and marriage status (p<.001), education (p<.001), clinical career (p<.001), position (p<.001), communication style (p<.001), critical thinking disposition (p<.001), and job satisfaction (p<.001). Critical thinking disposition, job satisfaction and clinical career together accounted for 36.88% of the total variation in job stress.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the development of a nursing intervention program that can lead to an improvement in critical thinking disposition is suggested.
