This study was conducted with the aim to determine the effect of a stress management program on the response to stress by nurses working in neonatal intensive care units. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 70 nurses in Iran. The nurses were assigned to the 2 groups: experimental and control groups, with each group comprising 35 participants. The McNamara education program was used for nurses in the experimental group. The response to stress in both groups was reviewed pre- and postintervention and 8 weeks after the intervention using the Stress Response Inventory. The 2 groups had no significant differences in terms of stress response preintervention (t = 0.668, P = .506). The mean scores in the experimental group were higher preintervention than those obtained postintervention, and the difference between them was significant. These findings indicate that the program has led to stress reduction in the experimental group.
本研究旨在确定压力管理计划对新生儿重症监护病房护士应激反应的影响。这项准实验研究在伊朗的70名护士中进行。护士被分为两组：实验组和对照组，每组有35名参与者。实验组的护士采用麦克纳马拉教育计划。两组在干预前、干预后以及干预8周后使用应激反应量表评估应激反应。两组在干预前的应激反应方面无显著差异（t = 0.668，P = 0.506）。实验组干预前的平均得分高于干预后的得分，且两者之间的差异具有统计学意义。这些结果表明该计划使实验组的压力有所减轻。
