Providing quality healthcare services through health promotion activities to patients, hospital-based professionals and the wider community is the goal of the health promoting hospital (HPH). There is, however, no formal structured pathway for “universally” providing health promotion services in hospitals. Accordingly, this study was conducted with the aim of presenting a model designed to promote and increase health-related satisfaction of hospital-professionals in health-promoting hospitals (HPHs) in Iran—as a potential tool to guide international HPH standards. Lifestyle, quality of life, organizational culture, and job satisfaction were measured using standardized questionnaires in specialized hospitals in Hamadan, Iran. A structural equation model (SEM) using partial least squares (PLS) software (version 2) was used to determine the validity and fit of the conceptual framework/model. The study revealed that several factors were identified as strong predictors of job satisfaction and wellbeing, including various dimensions of lifestyle such as spiritual health, physical activity, stress management, and interpersonal communication, dimensions of quality of life including physical and mental aspects, and organizational culture. The values of predictive relevance ( Q2) for physical and psychological dimension of life quality, organizational culture, and job satisfaction were estimated to be 0.101, 0.250, and 0.040 and 0.251, respectively. Conclusively, the study found a goodness of fit (GOF) value of 0.415, indicating that the model had a high predictive power and fit well. Based on these results, it is suggested that implementing HPH interventions that focus on the outcomes of this model could lead to increased job satisfaction and wellbeing in hospitals. Additionally, the model could serve as a useful indicator of HPHs.

“…Consequently, hospital environments generate a lot of stress, which not only affects health and job satisfaction of nurses, but also the welfare and health of patient [10] Working in a small space, frequently interacting with the dying and the dead, uncertainty about treatment plans, an excessive workload, and a lack of staff support are the main causes of workplace stress for nurses, which can result in physical and mental health issues [2]. Additionally, the stress of the job put in danger family life, as well as sexual and very personal lives.…”

The incidence of work stress among nurses is a persistent issue. This qualitative study was carried out to examine the problems that nurses experience in providing basic health care at Botswana referral hospitals. The study was presented as a qualitative research approach. Three referral hospitals: Princess Marina Hospital, Nyangabwe Referral Hospital, and Sabrana Psychiatric Hospital were chosen for this study. Ten management officers from the three referral hospitals with the necessary and appropriate experience were purposefully sampled in order to generate the required data via questionnaires and interviews. An inductive thematic data analysis was then used, the researchers attentively examined the data to uncover common themes and patterns that appear frequently. The intended study objectives were obtained by focusing on the preceding sampled data from management officers in referral hospitals: to identify challenges faced by nurses in the delivery of basic health care services and to recommend strategies that can be used to address challenges faced by nurses in the delivery of basic health care services. The overall findings of this study emphasized three themes that developed from the interviews: the obstacles faced by nurses in the delivery of essential health care services, which are: a lack of manpower, a lack of staff and accommodation, low wages, and a terrible working environment. The researchers finished by providing a conceptual model that may be employed as an intervention technique in the workplace to help with occupational stress. Keywords: Occupational Stress, Stressors, Stress, Nurses.

“…Also, when there is dissatisfaction with the workplace and the volume of work, it is difficult to retain skilled and qualified nurses (11)(12)(13)(14). A large number of international (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) and croatian studies (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) have researched the sources of stress in the workplace of nurses. Such research provides insight into what happens to nurses during the work process, but provides no insight into how they cope with that and how successful the coping mechanisms they use are in dealing with stress.…”

Introduction. Stress is a state of tension that arises when events or requests from the environment are assessed as threatening or too demanding. in the process of coping, we use different cognitive and behavioral strategies. problem-oriented coping involves strategies aimed at changing or removing stressors. emotion-focused coping encompasses stress-induced arousal management strategies. no coping strategy is universally effective, but the success of coping is assessed in the interaction of an individual’s characteristics and a stressful situation. The prevalence of individual coping patterns among nurses may depend on their workplace.Aim. To determine nurses in the internal medicine and surgical departments of two croatian hospitals cope with stress.Methods. The participants were 163 nurses from the internal medicine and surgical departments of the Sisak general Hospital “dr. Ivo Pedišić” and the general Hospital Karlovac. The measuring instruments used are the Questionnaire on how to deal with stress and the Scale for assessing the importance of events and the possibility of control.Results. The most common ways of coping with stress are planned problem solving, seeking social support, and self-control, while the rarest way of coping is avoidance. nurses perceive the success of coping with stress as moderate, and the degree of control over stressful situations as rather low. Stressful situations are most often perceived as a threat, and least often as a challenge.With the perception of a greater degree of control over the situation, they more often choose to accept responsibility as a way of coping. In internal medicine departments, stressful events are assessed as significantly more disturbing than in surgical departments.Conclusion. The results confirm that for further education of nurses on successful coping with stress, it is important to examine and further explore cognitive processes in selecting ways of coping: the meaning they attach to the situation, assessing control over the situation, and self-assessing coping success.
