“…Additionally, admission into this ward can make them feel as though they are in an extreme situation. (1,2) Several studies have shown that the intensive care environment stresses the patient, mainly due to the noise levels above the 35-to 45-dB threshold established by Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (Brazilian technical standards association, ABNT). Additionally, many other issues may stress the patients, such as continuous artificial lighting, the constant presence of unfamiliar people and devices, the lack of windows, the loss of time-space references and the lack of privacy.…”

“…Other factors could also be added, such as unknown smells, impressions of death and a constantly present multidisciplinary team. (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) Together, all of these factors may lead to increased anxiety and the perception of pain, reduced sleep and increased heart and respiratory rates. In addition, other changes related to constant stress include blood pressure and intestinal function changes, pupil dilation, and increased muscle tonus.…”

“…Therefore, the multidisciplinary team should recognize these stressful factors to be able to develop strategies to improve the care and recovery of these patients. (1,3,4,(9)(10)(11)(12) This study aimed to identify the main stressors of CU patients and the influence of noise levels on the perception of stress in these patients.…”

“…Despite the fact that our results did not confirm a statistically significant relationship, most studies agree that emotional and cognitive processes are significantly influenced by gender (Bem, 1974;Formánková, 2009). The impact of age has been evaluated in a study by Marosti, Dantas (2006). Based on the results, they conclude that younger age negatively affects the assessment of stressors.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the perception of selected stressors acting on the Czech intensive care unit (ICU) of Czech patients, their families and attending nurses. Design: A descriptive comparative study. Methods: Stressor perception was measured by a Czech version of the standardised questionnaire, The Environmental Stressor Questionnaire (ESQ). The sample group consisted of 90 people. Data were obtained via pairing (patientrelativenurse). The family and the attending nurses evaluated stressors by empathising with the patient. Results: When evaluating the data obtained, it was ascertained that the relatives and attending nurses perceive stressors acting on the ICU as worse than patients themselves do. The overall level of stressor perception in the relatives was statistically significantly higher than in the patients (z = -3.72; p < 0.001). A statistically significant difference was also confirmed with regard to perception of stressors between attending nurses and patients (z = -2.23; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Both the relatives and attending nurses perceive stressors in the intensive care unit as worse than the patients themselves do. The negative impacts of stressors can be reduced by implementing new approaches in nursing care.

“…4 Overcrowded beds and equipment in wards can be sources of stress to patients. 5 Before operation, least information about disease and prognosis, financial factors, uncooperative nursing staffs and fear of losing parts of the body also create stress during hospitalization. 7 It is certain that the response to stress depends on the importance, severity and duration of stressful factors.…”

Background: Stress is defined as “the non- specific physiologic response of the body to any demand made upon it. Stress is a state produced by a change in the environment that is perceived as a challenging, threatening or damaging to a person’s dynamic balance or equilibrium. This study tries to find out the stress among the hospitalized patients. Methods: A descriptive, cross sectional study design was used to find out the stress among the hospitalized patients of Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, Chitwan. Purposive sampling technique was used. Structured interview schedule was used to collect the data. The data was edited, coded and analyzed using statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data. Results: Out of 84 respondents, 52.4% respondents were female. Findings of the study revealed that more than half of the respondents 57.1% had high stress. So this study showed that the patients had high level of stress during hospitalization. The result also showed that there was statistically significant association between level of stress and sex of the respondents (p=0.002), educational status (p=0.002), place of residence (p=0.01), sufficiency of family income (0.02), previous experience of hospitalization (p=0.03). The major stressors identified in this study were economic stressors, stressors related to family role, disease condition. The minor causing stressors were stressors related to professional behaviors of health personnel and hospital related stressors. Conclusions: Stress reduction activities such as counseling, warm environment should be provided for the patients to enhance the quality of life by reducing stress.
