Objectives:
to evaluate the associations between nurses' stress levels, coping strategies, and sociodemographic and occupational variables among hospital nurses.
Methods:
this descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study included 124 nurses from a university hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected using self-administered instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Brazilian versions of Work Stress Scale, and the Work Coping Response Inventory. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results:
stress levels ranged from low to moderate and high. Nurses with higher stress levels more frequently used escape-avoidance coping strategies, whereas those with lower stress levels reported better self-perceived mental health.
Conclusions:
the findings support the development of institutional programs and the strengthening of comprehensive occupational health care guidelines within the Unified Health System.
