OBJECTIVE: To identify the associated factors of occupational stress among nurses STUDY DESIGN: Analytical Cross Sectional Study. PLACE AND DURATION: The study was performed at Dow University Hospital and Civil Hospital Karachi from 1st January 2015 to 30th November 2015. METHODOLOGY: A total of 265 nurses having at least one year of clinical experience were enrolled for the study. Semi-structured occupational stress questionnaire was used for data collection on demographics including age, gender, qualifications and job characteristics including shift duty, job load, nature of the job, distance from workplace and income. RESULTS: Among total 265 nurses, 57.4% were female while 42.6% were male and 55.8% were married. Two-third of the nurses having age less than 30 years was found to be severely stressed. Among all demographic variables only gender showed statistically significant association with job-related stress (p-value=0.015). Furthermore, in job characteristics variables the income was the variable that exhibited a significant association with job-related stress (p-value=0.042). CONCLUSION: Overwhelming majority of nurses reported occupational stress. Gender and salary are found to be significantly associated with occupational stress.
