Occupational stress is a prevalent health issue that can have both clinical and psychological repercussions, impacting the quality of care of emergency nurses. However, more research is required to better understand the prevalence of this condition and its implications for the work capabilities of nurses in emergency departments.
To examine the relationship between occupational stress and the quality of care among emergencydepartment nurses at government hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to examine stress levels and quality of care using the convenience sampling technique between July and September 2023. Nurses completed a questionnaire comprising three parts: Emergency nurse stress questionnaire with 12 items, professional quality of life scale with 10 items, and demographic data with 9 items in three governmental hospitals in the GazaStrip. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 25.
A total of 80 emergency nurses were included. The study showed an equal distribution of emergency nurses according to gender 50%. Furthermore, 42% of the nurses working at Al Shifa Medical Hospital, more than half 54%, had less than 5 years of experience. The overall average mean score for the level of stress among emergency nurses was 4.83 (SD = 1.078), Also, the overall average mean score quality of care for among emergency nurses was 2.51 (SD = 0.984).
This study indicates that there was a significant negative relationship between occupational stress at work and quality of care, indicating that as stress levels increase, factors that restrict quality of care also increase. Furthermore, the findings highlighted statistically significant differences in the mean score of occupation stress and age, sex, years of experience and shift of work. Based on these results, it is essential that health policymakers address the high levels of OS among emergency nurses to improve quality of care.
职业压力是一个普遍存在的健康问题，可能产生临床和心理影响，影响急诊护士的护理质量。然而，需要更多研究来更好地了解这种情况的普遍性及其对急诊科护士工作能力的影响。
研究巴勒斯坦加沙地带政府医院急诊科护士职业压力与护理质量之间的关系。
采用描述性横断面设计，于2023年7月至9月使用便利抽样技术调查压力水平和护理质量。护士们在加沙地带的三家政府医院完成了一份问卷，问卷包括三个部分：12项的急诊护士压力问卷、10项的职业生活质量量表以及9项的人口统计学数据。使用SPSS 25版进行统计分析。
共纳入80名急诊护士。研究显示，急诊护士按性别分布均匀，各占50%。此外，在希法医疗医院工作的护士中，42%工作经验不足5年，超过半数（54%）工作经验少于5年。急诊护士压力水平的总体平均得分是4.83（标准差=1.078），急诊护士护理质量的总体平均得分是2.51（标准差=0.984）。
本研究表明，工作中的职业压力与护理质量之间存在显著的负相关关系，即随着压力水平的增加，限制护理质量的因素也会增加。此外，研究结果突出了职业压力平均得分在年龄、性别、工作经验和工作班次方面的统计学显著差异。基于这些结果，卫生政策制定者必须解决急诊护士中高水平的职业压力问题，以提高护理质量。
