In terms of workplace stress, very high stress is reported by 60.6%, followed by high (36.5%), moderate (2.9%), and low (0.0%) levels. Statistical analysis indicates significant relationships between environmental uncertainty, stress perception, stress management knowledge, and workplace stress levels at a 0.01 level (r = 0.247, p = 0.012, r = 0.765, p < 0.001, r = -0.196, p = 0.046). CONCLUSION: The research suggests providing information on stress and modifying stress management practices to reduce potential stress occurrences.
