Abstract

This cross-sectional research was aimed to investigate factors related to occupational stress among

registered nurses in the autonomous university hospitals. Three hundred and seventy-six registered nurses

were selected by cluster sampling. Data were collected by questionnaires and analyzed in terms of

frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, minimums, maximums, Pearson correlation and Chi

square test.The findings showed that 74.5 % was female. Mean age was 33.97 years old. 63.6 % wasmarried. 95.7 % had a bachelor's degree or equivalent. 38.6 % had insufficient income and was in dept.

39.1 % had professional experience in nursing of less than 5 years. 65.7% worked in shift (morning,

afternoon, and evening shift) 46.1 % worked on the average of 11.53 hours / day. 46.1 % worked without

weekly holidays. 83.2 % reported that the magnitude of impact from autonomous administration on the

job was moderate. 76.1 % had a moderate occupational stress. Factors related to occupational stress

were insufficient income from the regular job, and the change to autonomous administration of the

organization. It is suggested that the autonomous university hospitals administrators should pay special

attention to the nurses salary and rewards. Correct understanding of changes of the organization

management system should also be instructed.
