Description

Abstract:   In  the  present  scenario  there  are  many  fields  and  professions which are expanding day by day. Among the professions  some are considered very relaxed and some are stressful.  Nursing is a profession which needs lots of  personal  commitment  and  time,  due  to  the  nature  of  the  profession.  Their main task is to take care and provide services to the sick, hence it is important that  they  should  be  free  from  stress.    In  the  present  work  a  cross  sectional descriptive  study  design  was  adopted  for  the  study  to  assess  the  job  stress among  nurses in the  Yenepoya Medical College  Hospital, Mangalore. A total of  90  nursing  staff were  covered  as  samples from  Yenepoya Medical College Hospital selected through purposive sampling technique.  Questionnaire method was  used  to  collect  the  data.    The  study  revealed  that  the  majority,  80%  of them have moderate level of stress.  The level of stress is significantly associated with  age,  children  and  working  department.  Effective  occupational  stress management techniques may be imparted to control the job stress and improving coping  at  work.
