Abstract

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) assigns nurses as professions that are at a very high risk of stress. Nurses who experience stress can cause physical and mental complaints, so they cannot work optimally. This research conducted to determine the job stress level of nurses at the Islamic Hospital Malang. This research was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted against 82 nurses in July 2018, at one Islamic Hospital in Malang. Job stress levels measured using a Job Stress Survey questionnaire. It measured the intensity level, frequency, and index value of occupational stress against several factors causing the job stress. The results showed that 24.39% of respondents experienced moderate-level job stress and the rest experienced low-level job stress. The highest level of occupational stress was experienced by nurses in emergency institutions (19.51% of the population) and surgical rooms (4.88%). The lowest working stress level was experienced by nurses in outpatient installations (4.88%) and intensive care (12.2%). Job stress was experienced by nurses in Islamic hospitals, most likely due to the low career development opportunities (24.09%) and the less comfortable working environment felt by the nurse (23.18%). This study concluded that the highest job stress level was experienced by nurses in emergency installations and surgical rooms. The highest causes of occupational stress included career development opportunities and working environment conditions. The suggestion for this research is necessary to study using a comparative gauge to measure the level of occupational stress on the nurses.
