Abstract
Psychiatric nurses are at a greater risk of being subjected to job related stress as they work in a demanding environment and have direct interaction with psychiatric patients. Such stress brings them various physical, mental and behavioral problems. Physical problems such boredom, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, and decreased effectiveness. Mental problems such as poor concentration, memory changes, and depression, and behavioral problems such as social withdrawal and substance misuse. Studies indicated that resilience and self-efficacy are critical factors that affect psychiatric nurses’ ability to withstand in the face of difficulty (Cheng et al., 2020 & Dehvan et al., 2018). Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate job related stress among psychiatric nurses and its relation to resilience and self-efficacy. Purpose of the study The present study was carried out to investigate job-related stress among psychiatric nurses and its relation to resilience and self-efficacy. Research Question: 1. What are the levels of job-related stress among psychiatric nurses? 2. What are the levels of resilience among psychiatric nurses. What are the levels of self-efficacy among psychiatric nurse. What are the relations between job-related stress, resilience and self-efficacy among psychiatric nurses? Research design:- The descriptive correlational design was utilized to achieve the aim of the study. Research setting This study was conducted in two settings at Menoufia Governorate, Egypt, Shebin Elkom psychiatric hospital (Meet khalaf psychiatric hospital) and the psychiatric 89 department at the menoufia university hospital Subjects: A convenienve sample of psychiatric nurses (162) who are working at the Menoufia Governate psychiatric hospital (Meet khalaf psychiatric hospital) and the psychiatric department at the university hospital who fulfilled following criteria:- 1- Both genders who agree to participate in this study 2- On-the-task registered clinical nurses who have experience of at least two years in psychiatric care. Data Collection Instruments Three instruments were used for data collection. Instrument one which includes two parts: Part (1): A structured interviewing questionnaire NThe questionnaire was developed by the researcher to assess socio demographic characteristics of the subjects Part (2): Psychiatric Nurses Job stress Scale (PNJSS This scale was developed by Yada, (2011) and modified by Yada, (2015), and translated into Arabic by Zaki & Barakat (2018). It is used to measure job-related stress. Instrument two: - The Modified Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC instrument: It was developed by Connor and Davidson, (2007), and translated into Arabic by Salem (2022).it is used to measure resilience Instrument three: - General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scale: It is a self-reported measure that was developed by Schwarzer & Jerusalem (1995), and translated into Arabic by Battika (2022). It is used to assess psychiatric nurses’ self-efficacy levels 90 The main findings of the study revealed the following • The mean age of the studied psychiatric nurses was (26.4± 2.5 years • About (66%) of studied psychiatric nurses were observed in moderate levels of job related stress. • About (67.9%) of psychiatric nurses showed low resilience while one third of them showed moderate resilience (32.1%). • Approximately (48.8%) of the studied psychiatric nurses showed moderate self efficacy followed by (40.7%) of them showed low self-efficacy. • Approximately (66.7%) of female psychiatric nurses had moderate levels of job related stress. • Approximately (69.8) of psychiatric nurses with two years of work experience hadlow level of resilience • About (71.4%) of psychiatric nurses who had moderate level of self-efficacy were postgraduate degree • About (76.4) of female nurses who had moderate level of job related stress weren’t married. • There was a highly significant negative correlation between job related stress and resilience. • There was a highly significant negative correlation between job related stress and self-efficacy. • There was a positive significant correlation between resilience and self-efficacy. Based on the findings of the current study, it can be concluded that: • There was a highly significant negative correlation between resilience, self-efficacy and total score of job related stress 91 ased on the findings of the present study, the following recommendations are suggested: 1. Engage psychiatric nurses periodically in training periods or workshops to enhance their self-efficacy and resilience to confront difficult psychiatric situations which help them acquire skills and positive facets of mental health 2. Periodically assess the level of stress among psychiatric nurses and determine its sources regularly for early detection and providing them with coping strategies to deal with their daily life and work stressors. 3. Managers could run an orientation program for newly hired nurses to help them accommodate the differences between ideal and real nursing 4. Establish a psych educational program for psychiatric nurses to teach them how to deal emotionally with their work stressors as well as educational programs to improve their communication skills. In further research: 1. Replication of the study using a larger sample in different correctional settings for further confirmation and generalizability of the results.
