Abstract
Background:
Resilience is one of the most important
factors that can affect nurses’ occupational
stress. The purpose of this study was
to determine the effect of a resilience-based
intervention on occupational stress in
nurses at Tekab Shohada Hospital in 2016.
Materials &
Methods: This research was quasi-experimental
and implemented using pre-test/ post-test
design. All nurses working in Shohada
Hospital in Tekab city (n=60) were the
subjects of this study. Firstly, by referring
to the hospital, the occupational stress
questionnaire was distributed to the study
subjects and a pre-test was obtained from
them. In the next step, the nurses were
trained in 5 sessions of 1 hour, twice
a week in groups of 30 people in two shifts
of morning and evening at the conference
hall of the hospital. After collecting
post-test data, data were analyzed using
SPSS / 16 software.
Results:
There was a significant difference in
the level of occupational stress and its
components between the pre-test and post-test
of the studied subjects after the intervention
(P< 0/001).
Conclusion:
Holding resilience training courses
can help reduce nursing job stress and
help to adapt individuals to existing
changes.

The phenomenon of occupational stress is one
of the major problems that has been encountered
by human societies over the last decades and
with the gradual shift of societies towards
modern life [1]. According to the National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health, a person
faces a stressful job when there is no coordination
between job needs and his/her abilities, and
desires [2]. Job stress is a process that results
from a person’s encounter with the organization
and the workplace. Occupational stress is of
particular concern to people with mental health
problems [3, 4]. In 1992, the United Nations
recognized occupational stress as the 20th Century
disease, and later the World Health Organization
declared it to be the most epidemic in the world
[5, 6]. The International Labor Organization
has estimated labor costs for countries to be
1 to 3.5 percent of GDP due to occupational
stress, indicating that this is rising [7].
Also, the American Academy of Family Physicians
estimates that about two-thirds of those who
have been visited and evaluated at work have
symptoms of stress [8], and about 30% of the
workforce in developed countries is occupational
stressed [9]. Of the various occupational groups,
health professionals, especially those working
in the hospital environment, experience higher
job stress [10]. Among the healthcare professions,
nursing is also recognized as one of the high-risk
occupations for physical and mental illness
[11]. In our country, 80% of healthcare workers
are nurses. According to the Nursing Organization,
75 percent of nurses suffer from some degree
of stress and physical and mental illness [12,
13]. The National Professional Safety Association
in the United States has identified nursing
at the top of 43 professions with a high incidence
of occupational stress-related diseases and
believes nursing is likely to be at the head
of tensed healthcare jobs [12]. The nursing
profession is inherently tense and tension affects
the quality of life and health of nurses, the
burden of workload, close relationship with
patients, responsibility for their lives and
their lives ; technological advancements and
increasing care dimensions are directly related
to nursing job stress [14]. Long working hours,
busy work, shift work, lack of freedom to act
in decision-making, lack of support from managers
and colleagues are among the factors that cause
occupational stress in nurses [12, 15, 16].
Regarding the problems of job stress, recent
attention has also been paid to resilience in
the nursing profession [17, 18]. In this connection,
McGee in the theory of limited scope of resilience
in nursing, and a nursing pattern [19] sees
resilience as the ability to change disaster
and turn it into a growing and forward-looking
experience, and in his view, he considers the
four infrastructure patterns to be resilient.
Each of these patterns plays a role in both
empowering and empowering individuals. The four
patterns are readiness patterns, relational
patterns, situational patterns, and philosophical
patterns [19-21].
For resiliency five dimensions proposed by
Gitterman include: 1- Integration with the family
2- Consistency with the social environment 3-
Consistency with the physical environment 4.
Integration with the inner wisdom and 5. Supporting
mentality. These dimensions enable individuals
to develop appropriate coping skills in challenging
situations [22].
In relation to the research background, Kutluturkan
and et al, showed a significant negative correlation
between resiliency and burnout [23]. In their
analysis, Warelow and Edward (2011) stated that
nurses should increase their resilience skills
in the 21st century in order to cope with their
professional problems and mental health [24].
Allister and Kinnon (2013) found that resiliency
is one of the important and effective factors
in nursing career success and resilient capacity
is required for nursing careers’ success
[25]. Therefore, based on the importance of
the above-mentioned cases, the present study
aimed to determine the effect of resilience-based
intervention on occupational stress in hospital
nurses.
Study
Design
and
Participants
This
research
was
quasi-experimental
and
was
implemented
using
pretest-posttest
design.
All
nurses
working
in
Shohada
Hospital
in
Tekab
city
were
the
subjects
of
this
study.
Sampling
was
complete
and
all
60
nurses
working
in
Shohada
Hospital
in
Tekab
entered
the
study.
The
criteria
for
entry
to
studying
were
having
a
bachelor’s
or
master’s
degree,
a
lack
of
a
second
job,
having
constant
shifts
(in
the
morning,
evening,
and
evening),
did
not
attend
the
taught
training
courses
associated
with
resilience
in
the
past
3
months,
and
the
exclusion
criteria
were
the
reluctance
to
continue
in
the
study,
the
lack
of
willingness
to
complete
a
questionnaire
or
an
irregular
company
and
absence
from
more
than
two
sessions
of
classes.
Participation
in
this
study
was
also
voluntary.
Instruments
In
this
study,
the
occupational
stress
questionnaire
of
the
British
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Organization
was
used.
The
questionnaire
was
compiled
by
the
British
Health
and
Safety
Executive
Agency
(HSE)
and
was
reviewed
by
free
translation
and
its
validity
and
reliability.
The
occupational
stress
questionnaire
is
designed
to
measure
work-related
stresses
and
has
35
items
with
seven
subscales
of
Demands,
Control,
Managers’
support,
Peer
support,
Relationships,
Role,
and
Change.
In
this
scale,
high
scores
indicate
low
occupational
stress
[26].
In
this
study,
Cronbach’s
alpha
coefficient
for
the
total
job
stress
scale
89.9
and
each
of
dimensions
of
demand,
control,
support
of
authorities,
support
of
colleagues,
communication,
role
and
changes
0/77,
0/70,
0/69,
0/77,
0/81,
0/70,
0/72
were
obtained
respectively.
Procedures
Following
the
informed
consent,
patients
were
assured
of
the
secrecy
and
confidentiality
of
their
information.
Then,
occupational
stress
questionnaire
was
distributed
in
the
group
and
a
pretest
was
obtained
from
them.
In
the
next
step,
the
nurses
were
trained
in
5
sessions
of
1
hour,
twice
a
week
in
groups
of
30
people
in
two
shifts
of
morning
and
evening
at
the
conference
hall
of
the
hospital.
The
number
of
meetings
held
for
all
nurses
was
equal.
Methods
of
training
in
interventional
phase
included
lectures,
discussion
and
participation
of
nurses
in
role
play,
group
training
and
pamphlet
presentations.
Ethical
Considerations
The
present
study
was
approved
by
the
Ethics
Committee
of
Urmia
University
of
Medical
Sciences.
Informed
consent
was
obtained
from
all
participants.
Participants
were
briefed
on
the
objectives
and
methods
of
the
study
and
ensured
about
the
voluntary
nature
of
participation
in,
and
withdrawal
from,
the
study
as
well
as
the
confidentiality
of
their
data.
Data
Analysis
SPSS
16
was
utilized
to
analyze
the
data.
Further
to
descriptive
statistics,
first,
Kolmogorov-Smirnov
test
was
used
to
assure
the
normal
distribution
of
variables
(Table
1),
and
then
paired
t-test,
was
utilized
to
study
the
mean
of
scores
within
groups.
Normally
distributed
data
were
presented
as
the
mean
±
standard
deviation
(SD).
The
significance
of
data
was
set
at
a
p-value
of
0.05.
28.3%
of
the
study
subjects
were
male
and
71.3%
female.
The
mean
scores
of
occupational
stress
in
men
and
women
were
123.29
±
15.11
and
171.05
±
19.97
respectively
and
there
was
no
statistically
significant
difference
in
terms
of
the
level
of
occupational
stress
between
both
groups
(P=0.
33).
Based
on
the
results
of
the
paired
t-test,
there
was
a
statistically
significant
difference
in
the
level
of
occupational
stress
and
its
components
between
the
pre-test
and
post-test
of
the
studied
subjects
after
the
intervention.
