Assessment of occupational related stress among nurses in two selected hospitals in a city southwestern Nigeria

Selected personality traits of nurses and flexibility in coping with stress – a moderating role of age and seniority

“…Korzystne byłoby uwzględnienie w kolejnych badaniach innych cech osobowości oraz temperamentu, które także mogą stanowić predyktory elastyczności w radzeniu sobie ze stresem.
