Perceived Stress and Resilience among Nurses Working in a Selected Hospital at Mangalore

Abstract

Objective A minimum amount of stress is essential for a successful life. When it goes beyond the limit, it affects overall well-being. There is a need to modify the environment, feelings, and physical factors of an individual to promote resilience. This study aimed to assess and find the relationship between perceived stress and resilience among nurses working in a selected hospital. Materials and Methods The investigators used the descriptive correlation design and, through the nonprobability sampling method, selected 65 nurses. Data was collected using the demographic variables, perceived stress scale, and the Connor–Davidson resilience scale. Results and Discussion The investigators found a moderate level of stress (61.5%) with intermediate resilience (73.8%) among the nurses and noted a weak correlation between perceived stress and resilience (calculated value is 0.226 and the p-value is 0.071). There was an association found between the frequency of night duty, education level, and perceived stress. Conclusion Our study showed that most of the nurses had a moderate level of stress with intermediate resilience. The unmarried nurses were more resilient, with a moderate level of stress than the married.

Results of the current study are in keeping with several studies that reported moderate to high resilience among nurses (Kannappan & Veigas, 2022; Jose et al, 2020). However, nurses still need to improve their resilience.…”

“…In addition, the mediating analysis revealed that resilience plays a protective role against stress. In the other hand some studies that were not congruent with this result as these findings of a study conducted by Kannappan, & Veigas, (2022), to assess and find the relationship between perceived stress and resilience among nurses working in a selected hospital. This study showed that there is a moderate level of stress with intermediate resilience among the nurses and noted a non-significant weak correlation between perceived stress and resilience .…”
