The review used a scale consisting of two parts, including demographic information and HSE standard questionnaire. The study selected respondents through Cochran's Sample Size Formula using stratified random sampling with a cross-sectional research design for data collection. The study has analyzed received data by using SPSS version 24 and performed the descriptive and inferential statistics (t-test and one-way ANOVA) at a significance level p<0.05.Results: The study results showed the mean score of total occupational stress 3.41±0.26. The results showed the highest (4.34±0.35) and the lowest stress levels (2.72±0.86) related to role dimensions. The study findings revealed a significant relationship between stress level and participants’ age, marital status, educational level, type of base, workplace, and the number of work hours per month. There was no relationship between the type of employment and work experience with stress levels. Conclusion: Emergency medical personnel experience a high level of occupational stress. Senior managers can use similar studies to implement measures to reduce the experience of employees' stress.
