Overview
Brief Summary
Negative workload perception and stress are very important issues in occupational health. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Online Stress Management (OSM) program on nurses' individual workload perception, and stress. The study included 90 nurses who met the inclusion criteria and signed the informed consent form. In the study, 45 nurses were allocated to the experimental group and 45 nurses were allocated to the control group. Due to the intensive working conditions of the nurses, staff shortages, workload, and restrictions such as shift work, participants could not be randomly assigned to the groups. Nurses who agreed to participate in the OSM program were voluntarily assigned to the experimental group, and those who did not want to participate were assigned to the control group.
Detailed Description
Introduction: The feeling of stress and individual workload perception are an uncomfortable situation for individuals, are important factors that affect the physical and mental health and quality of life of health professional. Perception of workload and stress, which are basic elements in the field of occupational health, are important factors in coping with problems arising from working conditions and increasing the efficiency of work. Increased individual workload perception and stress are quite common, especially in nurses with intense working conditions. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of stress management training on nurses' individual workload perception and stress using a non-randomized, waiting list comparison design. Methods: The analyses included a total of 86 nurses (experimental group n = 42 and control group n = 44). A total of six-sessions of OSM program were applied to the experimental group, consisting of 40-50 minutes and one sessions per week. Data were collected using the 'Participant Information Form', 'Nurse Stress Scale' (NSS) and 'Individual Workload Perception Scale' (IWPS). Time and group changes in stress, and individual workload perception were computed using a repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) model was used to test the between-group differences from baseline to six weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Nurse Stress Scale
Time Frame: at the end of the 1 months
The NSS total scores range from 34-136. The total score measures the frequency of stress experienced by a nurse and can be calculated by adding the participant's responses to all items. The high overall score indicates that the nurse experiences more frequent stress periods about individual stress problems in the physical, psychological, and physical environment. A lower score indicates that the nurse experiences less stress for the same situations
Secondary Outcomes
- Individual Workload Perception Scale(at the end of the 1 months)
