Abstract
Nursing is generally known as a demanding profession. There is a rising interest for healthcare administrators to manage aspects leading to nursing work stress as a means towards maintaining a healthy work environment. The present study aimed to develop and validate an instrument to assess nurses’ work- related stressors at selected hospitals. A methodological design was utilized. The study sample was 625 nurses represent 50% of the staff nurses working at New El-Kasr Alaini hospital, El-Sheikh Zaied Specialized hospital and Om Elmasryeen hospital. The study revealed a valid and reliable instrument. Such results were indicated by face validity, content validity, and factor analysis using the varimax rotation for the 66 items included in the initial tool. The factor analysis indicated 3 main dimensions with considerable loading for 20 items. The dimensions were given suitable headings as follows; stressors related to leadership behaviors, nature of the nursing role, and psychological burden. Reliability was assessed and revealed an internal consistency (Cronbach alpha=0.87). In conclusion, the study demonstrated a short valid and reliable instrument to assess the nurses work stressors. The instrument is suitable for use by healthcare managers in different medical situations. Further studies are recommended for the use of the tool on representative samples of Egyptian nurses.
