Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 勞工研究所 === 85 === The Study of Job Stress and Stress Coping of Clinical
NursesAbstractThe main purpose of this study was to understand
the job stresses and theirstress coping strategies for the
clinical nurses.Secondly,the relationshipsamong personal
characterisitics.Type A/B behavior pattern,organizational
climate,role percepion,job stressors and stress coping
strategies were investigated.The sample includes 561 nurses
employed in the hospital ofsouthern area.Data was analyzed by
the following methods:frequency,T-test,one-way ANOVA,the Pearson
correlation,regression analyses,discriminant analyses.The major
findings of this study were as follow:First,the subjests''public/
private hospital,position,education,age,tenure,nursing tenure
and departmenthave significant effects in job stresses.Besides,
the subjests''age,tenure and nursing tenure have significant
effects in stress responses.Second,the Type Anurses have a
higher job stresses and more frequent stress responses than
theType B nurses.Meanwhile,the Type A nurses tend to use the
emotion-focusedcoping strategies,and the Type B nurses tend to
use the problem-focused copingstrategies.Third,those subjests
who have more positive organizational climateand role perception
use problem-focused approach to cope their job stresses.In
contrast,those subjests who have more negative organizational
climate androle perception use emotion-focused approach to cope
their job stresses.Consequently,the higher subjects''job
stresses,the higher subjects''stress responses,and the negative
organizational climate and role perception of nurses.At last,in
predicting measures of job stresses and stress responses,the
subjects'' Type A/B behavior pattern,organizational climate,role
perceptionof nurses can significantly explain about 30% of
varience in their job stressesThe subjects''age,tenure,Type A/B
behavior pattern,organizational climate,roleperception can
significantly explain about 24% of varience in their stress
responses.The subjects''job stresses inclued medical knowledge,
work itself, work enviornment,interpersonal relationships can
significantly explain about36% of varience in their stress
responses.The subjects''role perceptions(ex:profession) and job
stresses (ex:medical knowledge) can correctly classifyabout 62%
of varience in their stree coping strategies.
