Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between job stress and spiritual health of nurses working in the inpatient wards of the Covid-19 disease.
Methods and Materials:The present descriptive-cross-sectional study done in 2019, examined the job stress and spiritual health of nurses working in the inpatient wards of the Covid-19 in Afzalipur Medical Education Center, Kerman, Iran. 177 nurses were selected using simple random sampling from wards where patients with coronavirus were hospitalized. The data collection tools were a three-part demographic characteristics questionnaire, HSS-35 hospital job stress scale, and SWBS spiritual well-being scale. Data analysis done through SPSS software Ver.22 and GraphPad Prism software version 8 was used to draw graphs.
Results: The mean age of nurses was 34.93 ± 8.39 years. The highest number of nurses were women (86.4%). The mean total scores of job stress and spiritual health of nurses were 3.40 and 3.76, respectively. There was a significant relationship between job stress and spiritual health of nurses in COVID-19 special wards (P ≤ 0.004). The relationship between job stress and nurses' age was significant (P ≤ 0.002). The mean of job stress was significantly different between people with different work histories (P ≤ 0.000).
Conclusion: The results showed the level of job stress of nurses working in COVID-19 wards was high. Since there is a significant relationship between job stress caused by the covid-19 and spiritual health, hospital managers, especially nursing managers should strive to improve the situation while provide stress management training for nurses. |
