7. Recommendations
In this study, we aimed to identify nurse managers’ occupational stressors and coping strategies through interviews.
The results can be utilized for future nurse manager stress management, including offering suggestions
for reducing stress. In addition, for nurse managers who feel overloaded, hospitals should support them in
learning how to work efficiently and how to manage their responses to their job demands. Nurse managers are
known to juggle multiple demands from hospital nursing directors and staff nurses. Although it is difficult to
eliminate role conflict, nurse managers should be given a safe place to discuss their concerns and receive advice
on how to manage their conflicting demands.
