Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Occupational Health Psychology

Background:

  • Job satisfaction is crucial for nursing retention and quality of care.
  • High stress levels are frequently reported among healthcare professionals, particularly nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between job satisfaction and self-reported stress in pediatric nurses in Belfast.
  • To identify primary sources of occupational stress among these nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive and analytical study utilizing the Nurse Stress Index (NSI) questionnaire.
  • Data from 72 randomly sampled nurses were analyzed using SPSS, employing bivariate correlation and multivariate linear regression.

Main Results:

  • A significant negative correlation was found between NSI subscales and job satisfaction; increased stress led to decreased satisfaction.
  • Perceived lack of organizational support and involvement emerged as the sole significant predictor of job satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational stress demonstrably diminishes job satisfaction in nurses.
  • Primary stressors identified include resource shortages, time constraints, lack of managerial appreciation, and challenges with change implementation.
