The transitional period of newly graduate nurses became more stressful, different coping mechanisms are essential. Therefore, effective coping with transition-related stress and anxiety is important for the life and professional of those nurses.
To examine the transitional shock through assessing the occupational stress and coping mechanism of multi-nationality newly graduate nurses in Kuwait.
A descriptive correlational design was used to identify the occupational stress of the newly graduate nurses (NGNs) and their coping mechanisms during the transitional period to their professional life. All the NGNs were recruited. The total number of participants was 152 nurses.
Highly significant correlations on almost all stress domains with p-values P < 0.01. We found that "Death and dying" was ranked as the highest stressor with a mean score of 6.20, followed by "uncertainty concerning treatment" with a mean score of 5.59, and in the "Inadequate preparation" was the least stressor with a mean score of 1.64.
"Religious coping" was the highest-ranked coping mechanism. In conclusion, NGNs have to adjust quickly to the new practical atmosphere encountered in the health care settings by using the proper coping mechanisms techniques.
