Work-related stress in intensive care unit night shift nurses: A cross-sectional analysis of prevalence and determinants
Work-related stress is highly prevalent among ICU nurses working night shifts, primarily driven by heavy workloads and interpersonal challenges. Stress levels vary significantly by gender and years of experience, underscoring the need for organizational interventions, such as staff support programs, training, and effective shift management, to mitigate stress and improve the quality of care. Future research is warranted to conduct longitudinal assessments of stress and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions across diverse healthcare settings.
