Determination of the Stress Coping Techniques Employed By Nurses
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
This study was carried out for determinative purposes in order to investigate the stress coping methods employed by nurses. The sample of the research consisted of 97 nurses. Stress Coping Styles Scale and socio-demographic characteristics question form derived from the information in the literature were used as means of data collection. In the study, it was determined that the most widely used approach by nurses is the self-reliant approach and they usually employ the problem-oriented stress coping methods. Furthermore, it was observed that a great majority of the nurses fail to benefit from in-service training or training programmes regarding stress coping. In line with the data obtained, it is suggested to maintain the in-service training programmes on stress coping or support the participation of the nurses into such programmes and to conduct new researches examining stress-generating factors among nurses, coping methods and factors affecting them.
