“…Cronbach α scores for the subscales ranging between .67 to .89 have been reported across multiple countries and practice settings (Newman et al, 2020 ). Other researchers only reported the overall scores (Alenezi et al, 2018 ) or completed principal component analysis to support the use of only the total NSS score (Mert et al, 2021 ). Pathak et al ( 2013 ) suggested that factor analysis completed with the involved study sample is required to better address the differences in working conditions in LMICs.…”

“…Pathak et al ( 2013 ) suggested that factor analysis completed with the involved study sample is required to better address the differences in working conditions in LMICs. In a study with 349 nurses in Turkish and after modifying the items loading on each subscale and rewording some of the subscales, the reliability coefficients for the subscales ranged from .63 to .81 (Mert et al, 2021 ). Other researchers have modified the original NSS (Alkrisat & Alatrash, 2017 ) to better reflect hospital-based practice, to better reflect specific national context (Kim et al, 2015 ), or for emergency room practice (Yuwanich et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Our findings suggest that future qualitative work will be crucial to gain a better understanding of the meaning of the more common stressors that Bangladeshi nurses experience in their workplace. Using factor analysis to evaluate the Modified Nursing Stress Scale, similar to the Turkish study (Mert et al, 2021 ), would also be helpful for its relevance to Bangladesh.…”

Background: Nurses report high levels of workplace stress, which has been linked to an increased risk for experiencing depressive symptoms.Nurses’ workplace stress is also linked to increased absenteeism and decreased job satisfaction. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to examine: (1) the incidence of depressive symptoms among hospital-based registered nurses in Bangladesh; (2) common sources of workplace stress and their relationships to individual characteristics and depressive symptom scores; and (3) the potential mediating roles of coping strategies in the relationship between workplace stress and depressive symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional study design involved three hundred and fifty-two registered nurses. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and three standardized tools measuring sources of nurses’ workplace stress, coping strategies, and depressive symptoms. Results: More than half of the participants scored ≥ 16 on the CES-D, which was associated with a major depression episode. Total NSS scores had a small but significant influence on scores on the depression scale. Coping strategies had no mediated effect on the relationship between workplace stress and scores on the depression scale. Low-reliability coefficients for subscales of two of the standardized tools highlight the challenge for researchers in developing countries to address contextual differences that may influence the meanings attached to individual items. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the mental health of registered nurses in Bangladesh requires immediate attention in part by attending to workplace stressors. Further research should focus on a deeper understanding of Bangladeshi registered nurses’ work experiences and the unique contribution that workplace stressors have on their physical and mental health.

“…The NSS, developed by Gray-Toft and Anderson, consists of 34 items and seven factors including “Uncertainty Concerning Treatment,” “Workload,” “The Death of a Patient,” “Conflict with a Physician,” “Conflict with Peers,” “Insufficient Support,” and “Suffering Patient.” 27 The scale was translated and validated in Turkish by Mert et al 28 in 2020. The items rated using the 4-point Likert system as (1) never, (2)sometimes, (3) often, (4) very often.…”

“…The Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) was developed in Korea; it consists of eight subscales of job stressors: physical environment, job demand, insufficient job control, interpersonal conflict, job insecurity, organizational system, lack of reward, and occupational climate [12]. Multidimensional scales to measure PF at work in specific industries were also developed and reported such as for construction workers [13], teachers [14], nurses [15], and dentists [16].…”

The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) is used widely in occupational health studies and practice. Summarizing scientific production based on measurement is crucial. This study aimed to systematically review observational studies that used the BJSQ and the New BJSQ to show their usability. A systematic search was conducted for studies investigating relationships between the BJSQ or the New BJSQ subscales and other validated measurements on 13 September 2021, in various literature databases. The BJSQ subscales, scoring methods, and other validated measurements in the studies were qualitatively summarized. In total, 145 published reports between 2003 and 2021 were included. Among the BJSQ subscales, job stressors (n = 95) such as quantitative job overload (n = 65) and job control (n = 64) were most often used. The subscales were utilized to investigate the relationships with several other measurements. Five reports used subscales from the New BJSQ. In the last two decades, the BJSQ and the New BJSQ help measure psychosocial factors (PF) at work and contribute to the publication of scientific papers in the occupational health field. This study would encourage the utilization of the questionnaires for future research and practice.
