本研究旨在描述埃塞俄比亚西南部吉马地区公立医院护士应对工作压力的策略。该研究于2014年3月至4月通过普查进行，使用英文版本的结构化自填问卷。
本研究表明，适应性应对方式的平均总体得分百分比为65.07%，适应不良应对方式为56.86%。护士最常使用的应对策略是：只专注于他们必须做的事情、制定行动计划并遵循它、发展同事/同伴支持以及有亲密的朋友可以倾诉。而护士最少使用的应对策略是：压力大时不想来上班、直接对家人或朋友发火、试图通过比平时更多地喝茶、咖啡、软饮料来感觉好一些以及因为无能为力而接受现状。总之，适应性方法是主要方式；社会支持和有计划的问题解决是最常用的策略。而逃避-回避应对策略最少使用。需要进行进一步研究以探索其预测因素。
