The most common source of nurse stress is pressure of workload/time. The general level of stress as perceived by nurses is moderate or mild rather than very or extremely stressful. There is little difference in stress level between general nurses and midwives, although general nurses rated the factors of management, relationships and facilities more highly as stressors. Most nurses find their job satisfying. In terms of career commitment, older nurses thought it likely that they would choose nursing again, while younger ones were evenly divided, although they were less likely than the older nurses to choose nursing again. Nurses tend to have a high opinion of their professional effectiveness.
护士压力最常见的来源是工作量/时间压力。护士所感受到的总体压力水平为中度或轻度，而非非常或极其紧张。普通护士和助产士的压力水平差异不大，尽管普通护士将管理、人际关系和设施等因素列为更重要的压力源。大多数护士对自己的工作感到满意。在职业忠诚度方面，年长的护士认为自己很可能会再次选择护理工作，而年轻护士则意见不一，不过他们再次选择护理工作的可能性低于年长护士。护士往往对自己的专业效能评价很高。
