A longitudinal perspective on 14 hospitals in Thailand examined sources of occupational stress, coping strategies, and job satisfaction. A sample of 200 nurses was compared to 147 nurses sampled from the same hospital wards after 5 years and revealed a significant increase in nurses' workload, involvement with life and death situations, and pressure from being required to perform tasks outside of their competence. Although nurses working in public hospitals generally reported more stress than private hospitals, surprisingly nurses' satisfaction with their job increased particularly in public hospitals, which may be attributable to age, improvements in monetary compensation, and organizational support.
一项对泰国14家医院的纵向研究考察了职业压力源、应对策略和工作满意度。对200名护士进行抽样，并与5年后从同一医院病房抽取的147名护士进行比较，结果显示护士的工作量、涉及生死情况的工作以及因被要求执行超出其能力范围的任务而产生的压力显著增加。尽管在公立医院工作的护士普遍比在私立医院工作的护士报告的压力更大，但令人惊讶的是，护士对工作的满意度尤其在公立医院有所提高，这可能归因于年龄、货币补偿的改善和组织支持。
