  • The National Health Service (NHS) faces ongoing challenges with staff well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the extent of occupational distress in nurses within an NHS hospital trust.
  • To identify factors associated with general mental well-being and work-specific distress.

  • Statistical analysis was used to identify associations between distress levels and various factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Distress levels were comparable across settings and to current NHS-wide studies.
    • Nurses reported higher work pressure and emotional exhaustion than previous UK norms.
    • Younger age, high work pressure, and low social support were linked to high distress.
    • Individual factors like social support satisfaction predicted general well-being.
    • Work environment factors (work pressure, patient contact, task orientation) were key for work-specific distress.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational distress is prevalent among nurses, with specific work environmental factors playing a crucial role.
    • Individual coping strategies and organizational support are both vital for nurse well-being.
    • Interventions are being implemented to address the identified occupational health needs of nurses.
