Purpose: This paper was attempted to identify the job stress related factors among the staff nurses and to provide the basic data concerning development of stress management program focused on hospitals.
Method: The subjects were 309 staff nurses at two general hospitals in Seoul. Data were collected with self-reported questionnaires and analyzed by SPSS-PC+ 10.0 for descriptive analysis, ANOVA, stepwise multiple regression, factor analysis.
Results: The subjects exhibit significantly highest level of ´the participation in decision making factor´. The mean score of ´control coping strategies´ was higher than ´avoid coping strategies´. The mean scores of social support and stress responses were high. the main factor that affected the stress responses was ´the job characteristic factor´ and it was explained 23.0% out of the total variance of the stress responses. Also, it would be explained 42.6% out of the total variance of the stress responses with ´the control coping strategies, work overload factors, social support, and participation in decision making factors´.
Conclusion: For developing the hospital- focused stress management program for staff nurses, ´the participation in decision making factors´ and ´the job characteristics´ should be considered. Also, the organizational efforts and supports should be required to support and use of ´control coping strategies´ of nurses.
