Nursing is generally perceived as a demanding profession. It
is both physically and psychologically challenging. Over the past
several years, signs of occupational stress appear to be
increasing among nurses which has been referred to many
factors ranging from downsizing, restructuring, and merging to
role boundary and responsibility.(1-3) Job stress is the harmful
emotional and physical reactions resulting from the interactions
between the worker and her/his work environment where the
demands of the job exceed the worker's capabilities and
resources.(1) It is well known that prolonged stress is a precursor
of burnout which is considered a major problem for many
professions, and nurses are considered to be particularly
susceptible. Literature on occupational stress indicate that
burnout affects mainly nurses, physicians, social workers and
teachers. However, studies concluded that occupational
stressors, lack of professional latitude, and role of problems,
predicted nurses’ intention to quit their working healthcare
organizations.(4)
