This study examined work-related stress and burnout symptoms with respect to related sociodemographic factors among nurses in Nigeria.A representative sample of nurses (N = 393) was randomly selected from hospitals in Southeast Nigeria to take part in this cross-sectional, correlational study from June to December 2017. Participants received questionnaires by mail, which measured work stress and burnout symptoms, respectively. Data collected were analyzed using bivariate correlations and multiple regression analyses.Among the sociodemographic factors investigated, sex was significantly correlated with work-related stress. The sociodemographic factors were not significantly associated with burnout symptoms. Stepwise multiple regression procedure produced a model that contained four sociodemographic factors and explained 4.5% of the variance in nurses' work stress scores and 0.8% of the variance in nurses' burnout scores. Age, work environment, and work experience did not make significant contributions to the prediction of work-related stress among the nurses. Finally, sex, age, work environment, and work experience did not make significant contributions to the prediction of burnout among the nurses.Nurses' sociodemographic factors, which included sex, age, work environment and work experience accounted for only a small proportion of variance in nurses' work stress and burnout in Southeast Nigeria. The study also furthers our awareness that sex is significantly linked to work-related stress among the nurses in Southeast Nigeria. Thus, the implications of the study for administrators, research, and policy were discussed.
本研究调查了尼日利亚护士中与工作相关的压力和倦怠症状及其相关的社会人口学因素。从尼日利亚东南部的医院中随机抽取了393名具有代表性的护士样本，参与了这项于2017年6月至12月进行的横断面相关性研究。参与者通过邮件收到问卷，问卷分别测量了工作压力和倦怠症状。收集到的数据使用双变量相关性分析和多元回归分析进行分析。在调查的社会人口学因素中，性别与工作相关压力显著相关。社会人口学因素与倦怠症状无显著关联。逐步多元回归程序得出了一个包含四个社会人口学因素的模型，该模型解释了护士工作压力得分方差的4.5%和护士倦怠得分方差的0.8%。年龄、工作环境和工作经验对预测护士的工作相关压力没有显著贡献。最后，性别、年龄、工作环境和工作经验对预测护士的倦怠没有显著贡献。护士的社会人口学因素，包括性别、年龄、工作环境和工作经验，在尼日利亚东南部护士的工作压力和倦怠中仅占很小一部分方差。该研究还进一步加深了我们的认识，即性别与尼日利亚东南部护士的工作相关压力显著相关。因此，讨论了该研究对管理人员、研究和政策的启示。
