“…Medical Professions such as nursing are known as stressful professions in either developing or developed countries (1)(2)(3)(4). Several studies have shown that nurses experience high levels of stress (5), which is associated with mental and physical problems (6). Beehr defines occupational stress as a work situation that undermines the psychological or physical health or causes factors that are likely to lead in a weakened health (7).…”

Background: Locus of control (LOC) is one of the most important factors with a significant role in stress management and increase or decrease negative emotions, notably in the work environment with many occupational consequences. This effect is more prominent in those working in more stressful environments such as medical professionals including nurses. Objectives: This study examined the association of job stress and perceived LOC considering covariates variables. Patients and Methods: Subjects were female nurses working in public hospitals in Shiraz during 2011. A total of 270 nurses were selected according to stratified sampling with proportional allocation. They were asked to complete the Rotter's internal-external LOC scale and Occupational Stress Questionnaire. Results:The results showed that the LOC has significant positive association with the occupational stress (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The result supported the significant association of LOC with occupational stress in nurses. With regard to the impact of internal LOC, organizing educational programs in this field may promote the nurses' health in workplaces.

“…A review of the employee stress in healthcare settings across 17 countries found that the nurses in a majority of the countries experienced high levels of stress and strain [3]. Butterworth et al's (1999) research on stress, coping, burnout and job satisfaction among British nurses showed that the occupational stress levels were rising in the profession [4]. It has been reported that 40% of the hospital nurses suffered from burnout and that one in five hospital nurses considered leaving work within the next year.…”

Background and Aim: Several researchers have described the nurses' work as stressful and that the incidence of the occupational stress-related burnout in the profession was high. The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between the nurses' satisfaction, their psychosocial work environment, the levels of their reported moral sensitivities and their wellbeing in Iran. Material and Methods:This descriptive-correlation study was performed at the ILAM general hospitals, IR, during the year 2011. The research instruments which were used were the Psychosocial Work Environment (PWE), the Moral Sensitivity (MS) and the well-being profile of the nurses. A sample of 120 Registered Nurses (RN) were enrolled in the study by using a simple random sampling method. The descriptive statistics and the Pearson's correlation test were performed by using SPSS. Result:The relationship of the nurses' satisfaction and their psychosocial work environment was moderate (M=106.5, SD= 7.2) . The nurses' moral sensitivity was moderate (M=112.3, SD= 11.2).This study found that there were significant correlations between the PWE factors score and the MS subscale (P< 0.05, p<0.01). In addition, significant correlations were found between the nurses' well-being and the PWE factors (P< 0.05, p<0.01). Discussion and Conclusion:These findings proved that the nurses perceived their PWE as stressful. The supporting nurses may have a positive effect on their perceptions of well-being. The attending nurses reported less physical symptoms, reduced anxiety and fewer feelings of not being in control.

“…Mean scores on the CCSQ and MJSS were interpreted by calculating the mean standard score for the current sample and comparing this to the data published by Butterworth et al, (1999); a mean falling within one standard deviation of the mean for ward nurses published by Butterworth et al, (1999) were considered to fall within the "average" range. Mean scores on the remaining questionnaires were compared to the instrument standardisation sample.…”

Participants The descriptive data for the CCSQ and the MJSS were compared to the data relating to ward nurses published by Butterworth et al,(1999) to facilitate interpretation (Table 2). …”
