Background: Work-related stress and burnout is common amongst
nurses, especially those who are younger. The consequences may
lead to poor health if this problem is not responded to at an early
stage.
Aim: investigation of symptoms of stress among icelandic nurses
during the month before answering questionnaires on person-,
work- and patient-related burnout symptoms and coping methods
in difficult circumstances.
Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study using the question -
naires Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Copenhagen Burnout inven-
tory (CBi) and Ways of Coping (WOC). The study is a part of a
larger research project at two icelandic hospitals. in this study stat-
istical analysis was performed on responses from 164 participants.
Results: nurses under 40 years of age showed a significantly higher
stress level (PSS) compared to those 40 years or older (p = 0,001).
Participants with working experience of 10 years or less showed
significantly more stress than those with longer working experi-
ence than 10 years (p = 0,004). Participants younger than 40 years
old showed significantly more burnout symptoms than those who
were older: person related (p = 0,011), work related (p = 0,018),
and patient related (p = 0,017). Significant difference was seen in
participants’ evaluation between units of the adequacy of staffing,
surgical unit (60%), medical unit (40%) (p < 0,001). Significant
negative correlation was found between stress and age and work-
ing experience, and between burnout sub-scales and age, working
experience, education and staffing adequacy. Behavioural escape-
avoidance showed significant negative correlation with age, work-
ing experience and seeking and using social support. a significant
negative correlation was discovered between cognitive escape-avoid -
ance and working experience.
Conclusions: findings should be interpreted with caution due to
a small sample. They indicate that younger nurses are more likely
to suffer from stress and burnout. The PSS and CBi questionnaires
are suited for research on stress and burnout among nurses but
further development is needed for the WOC questionnaire.
