Objective: To evaluate the sources of occupational stress related to workload among registered staff nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 staff nurses. "Hospital consultants, job stress & satisfaction questionnaire (HCJSSQ)" was applied for data collection purpose. The questionnaire was formulated by an appropriate selection of questions and validated by 5 experts (one general administrator, two physicians, one nursing superintendent, and one human resource man- ager). The study was carried out during February-July 2016. The questionnaire consisted of 08 questions on sources of stress related to workload. Results: All the invited nurses agreed to participate. The mean age of the selected sample was 32.29 years and SD ± 7.025. The analysis of the data revealed that 'having an inadequate staff to do the job' was the biggest stressor followed by 'being on on-call and 'providing patient care within multidisciplinary teams as 2nd and 3rd stressors. 'Feeling under pressure to meet deadlines', 'too great magnitude of overall work', 'having inadequate equipment to do job properly', 'disturbance of home life due to long hours duty' and 'being unable to cure patients' were identified as 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th number stressors respectively. Conclusion: Nurses are facing various types of stressors, which may affect organizational culture and a factor for low-quality care for patients as well as the individual wellbeing of a staff nurse. These stressors should be handled carefully on a priority basis by proper workload management, availability of facilities, good pay scale, reward system, initiate occupational health education or support to continue education.
