简要总结
The present study is designed to focus on examining the effectiveness of the stress management program on occupational stress and coping strategies among public health centers nurses in Jordan.
the Specific Objectives that will guide this study are as follow:
- To assess the level of occupational stress among Jordanian public health nurses who work in comprehensive health care centers.
- To find out the association between nurses' occupational stress scores and their selected demographic variables.
- To identify the sources of occupational stress encountered among public health centers nurses in the work setting.
- To identify the types of coping strategies utilized by Jordanian nurses working in comprehensive health care centers.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on occupational stress mean score among experimental and control groups at baseline, post-test and at two months' follow-up assessment.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on coping strategies mean score among experimental and control groups at baseline, post-test and at two months' follow-up assessment.
This experimental study will examine differential changes in two dependent variables: occupational stress and coping strategies of public health nurses after participation in experiment. Experimental Group will participate in a stress management program and control group will not receive any intervention. The null hypotheses that guide this study are:
- Null hypothesis (H0_1): There is no significant difference in occupational stress mean score between experimental and control groups at baseline, post-intervention and at two months' follow-up assessment. (µ1 = µ2).
- Null hypothesis (H0_2): There is no significant difference in coping strategies mean score between experimental and control groups at baseline, post-intervention and at two months' follow-up assessment. (µ1 = µ2).
详细描述
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on occupational stress and coping strategies among Jordanian public health centers nurses.
Methodology
- Study Location:
This study will be carried out in eight comprehensive public health centers in Amman city, Jordan. 2. Study Design:
Single-blind, a cluster randomized controlled trial design (RCT) with two conditions (experimental versus control group) and three time points for this study; baseline test (T0), a post-test (immediately after the second day of intervention (T1), and follow-up at two months' post-intervention (T2). 3. Study Population Target population:

Occupational stress will be measured by Nursing stress scale (NSS) "change is being assessed"
时间窗: Occupational stress will be measured to assess the change between pre-test and up to 2 months post-test
Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) will be used in the study to measure nurses occupational stress. it consists of 34 items distributed in 7 subscales which are: Death and Dying patients (7 items), conflict with Physicians (5 items), inadequate emotional preparation (3 items), lack of support (3 items), conflict with other nurses (5 items), work Load (6 items), and uncertainty concerning treatment (5 items). A 4-point Likert scale used to indicate the frequency of work stressors experienced by nurses from never stressful (1), to occasionally (2), to frequently (3), to very frequently stressful (4). The original scale has been reported to have high reliability as evidenced by Cronbach's coefficient alpha of 0.89 for the total score, Individual subscales reliability ranged from α=0.79 to α=0.89. The NSS total scores ranging from 34 to 136, A higher score indicates a higher frequency of work stressors experienced by the participants.
coping skills will be measured by The Brief Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE) Scale "change is being assesses"
时间窗: Coping strategies will be measured to assess the change between pre-test- and up to 2 months post-test
Coping skills will be assessed by the Brief Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE) Scale, this instrument contains 28 items and has 14 sub-scales (2 items per subscale) that capture 14 ways of various coping behaviors. Each item of this instrument is endorsed by participants using a 4-point Likert scale, which ranges from 1 (I have not been doing this at all), 2 (I have been doing this a little bit), 3 (I have been doing this a medium amount), 4 (I have been doing this a lot). Total scores for each subscale will be calculated, and higher total subscale scores indicate greater perceived use of a corresponding coping behavior. Carver reported good reliability and validity with Cronbach alpha ranging from 0.50-0.90 for its subscales, demonstrating acceptable internal consistency for this instrument.
