    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Healthcare Management
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Nurse stress is a significant concern in healthcare.
    • Understanding factors contributing to job satisfaction and career commitment is crucial for workforce retention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the primary sources and levels of stress experienced by nurses.
    • To explore job satisfaction and career commitment among nurses.
    • To compare stress levels and contributing factors between general nurses and midwives.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey-based assessment of perceived stress levels.
    • Evaluation of workload, time pressure, management, relationships, and facilities as stressors.
    • Analysis of job satisfaction and career commitment, with demographic considerations (age).

    Main Results:

    • Workload and time pressure are the most common sources of nurse stress.
    • Overall stress levels are perceived as moderate or mild.
    • General nurses reported higher stress from management, relationships, and facilities compared to midwives.
    • Most nurses reported job satisfaction and a high sense of professional effectiveness.
    • Older nurses showed higher career commitment than younger nurses.

    Conclusions:

    • While workload is a primary stressor, most nurses find their roles satisfying and feel effective.
    • Targeted interventions addressing workload and management support could mitigate nurse stress.
    • Career commitment may be influenced by age, suggesting a need for tailored retention strategies.
