Social support has been consistently implicated as a means of dealing with stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the levels of occupational stress and social support in flight nurses. Chosen by systematic random sampling, 160 flight nurses were asked to complete demographic, social support, and occupational stress questionnaires. Hans Selye's stress response model was used as the conceptual framework. The 113 respondents were predominately white females with university preparation. They reported low levels of occupational stress and high levels of social support (r = -0.42, p less than 0.01). Statistically significant (p less than 0.01) negative correlations were also found between social support and three of the four occupational stress subscales: job dissatisfaction, organizational stress, and somatic distress. The results of this study support the hypothesis that high levels of perceived social support are associated with low levels of perceived occupational stress.
社会支持一直被视为应对压力的一种方式。本研究的目的是探讨空中护士的职业压力水平与社会支持之间的关系。通过系统随机抽样选取了160名空中护士，要求他们完成人口统计学、社会支持和职业压力调查问卷。采用汉斯·塞尔耶的应激反应模型作为概念框架。113名受访者主要是受过大学教育的白人女性。她们报告的职业压力水平较低，社会支持水平较高（r = -0.42，p < 0.01）。在社会支持与四个职业压力子量表中的三个之间也发现了具有统计学意义（p < 0.01）的负相关：工作不满、组织压力和躯体困扰。本研究结果支持以下假设：高水平的感知社会支持与低水平的感知职业压力相关。
