Background: The productivity of nurses and patient healthcare is highly influenced by nurses’ stress-related factors and job satisfaction. Nursing is the least preferred career opportunities for Saudi residents as compared to other options. Nurses’ perceptions of intention to quit contributes to their shortage in Saudi health care institutions.Purpose: The study aimed to examine the relationship between work-related stress and job satisfaction among Saudi nurses working at a public hospital.Methods: The research used a cross-sectional design that collected data from samples of 297 nurses working at a specified public hospital and aged over than 20 years old. Convenient sampling was employed to recruit the samples. Data were collected using the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) and Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 was applied, and Pearson’s correlation test was to identify the relationship between variables.Results: The results indicated that the nurses at the hospital where the study took place experienced low levels of stress with a mean value of 2.1995. Besides, the nature of work indicated maximum job satisfaction with a mean value of 15.666, whereas minimum job satisfaction levels (11.569), were related to benefits provided to nurses. A positive correlation was found between the level of stress and satisfaction with a p-value of 0.041.Conclusion: The stress factors were highly correlated with job satisfaction. The identification of stress factors is important as it may create a negative impact on patients’ care and their well-being. It is suggested that changes in managerial affairs and policies are essential for implementing beneficial strategies that may assist in resolving the issue.

“…Five studies reported on different aspects of burnout, across these studies, three reported moderate levels of burnout (Abumayyaleh et al., 2016 ; Alharbi & Alshehry, 2019 ; Alharbi et al., 2019 ) and two indicated severe levels of burnout (Alharbi et al., 2016 ; Awajeh et al., 2018 ). Awajeh et al., ( 2018 ) found that the majority of nurses working in critical care departments in their sample (65% of 270 nurses) experienced high levels of burnout in all dimensions (depersonalization, emotional exhaustion and personal achievement). Another study reported 85% of 126 Saudi nurses working in ICUs had high levels of emotional exhaustion (Alharbi et al., 2016 ).…”

Nurses play a major role in providing care in Intensive Care units (ICUs) as members of interprofessional teams, where the care they provide is more complex than that provided elsewhere in the hospital. ICU nurses must respond regularly to high demands to fulfil the many roles that are assigned to them. They work in the ICUs as caregivers, health educators, researchers and unit managers (Aitken et al., 2019). Working in an area that requires such complex multitasking with a heavy workload and the need to provide specialized care for critically ill and highly reliant patients can be overwhelming for nurses. Consequently, occupational burnout may result from the high level of stress involved, which can lead to low job satisfaction and high turnover (Alharbi & Alshehry, 2019). This scoping review

“…Studies have been conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) investigating burnout syndrome, most of them mainly focussing on medical and dental students (Aboalshamat et al, 2017), physicians (Aldrees et al, 2013), nurses (Al-Turki et al, 2010) and physiotherapists (Al-Imam & Al-Sobayel, 2014), while a few researchers have addressed other fields. A study have shown that 65.9% of intensive care nurses working in King Saud Medical City were reported to have high levels of burnout (Awajeh, Issa, Rasheed & Faisal Amirah, 2018). Furthermore, a systematic review was done in the KSA to examine burnout syndrome among different health specialists and reported that there were significant levels of burnout among health care specialists (doctors, nurses and physiotherapy) in Arab Countries (Elbarazi, Loney, Yousef & Elias, 2017).…”

Some 27.2% of the participants experienced mild burnout, while 14.4% showed moderate levels of burnout. Only 6.5% of participants displayed a high level of burnout, and they were among the Colleges of Pharmacy (25.0%) and Dentistry (10.1%).Conclusions: The study findings showed no association between burnout and academic achievement and no relationship between burnout and the academic level of study. Only the students of the College of Pharmacy suffered from high levels of burnout.
