“…The result on marital status has revealed that marital status should not be considered when calculating or analyzing stress levels in nurses because there is no significant association between marital status and occupational stress. This result confirms the results of Amazue & Onyishi (2016), Cheng et al (2016), Khosravi & Kasaeiyan (2019). Contrary to this, Ghafoor et al (2020) believe that there is a significant association between stress and marital status, saying married workers are more stressed than singles (Makhaita et al, 2014).…”

“…Although there has not been enough research done on marriage and job stress among nurses, the few suggest that there is no a significant association between marital status and job stress (Amazue & Onyishi, 2016;Cheng et al, 2016). Oth-ers disagree and believe that there is a significant association between stress and marital status, thus the marital status of an individual can be a source of stress due to the responsibility and pressure on an individual (Nyamwata et al, 2017).…”

The concept of stress has been a long and lingering topic of research for ages. Stress in nurses in particular is no exception. Occupational stress is the threats of a job that workers face in the line of duty. However, one cannot separate the stress that already exists in their individual lives from those they face in line of duty. It is, therefore, undoubtedly possible that the level of occupational stress recorded may not be solely occupational problems. This paper seeks to find out the level of stress in nurses of TTH and whether individual differences affect the stress levels of nurses taking gender, age and marital status into consideration. The study used the Wieman Occupational stress scale to measure stress level; t-test, One-Way and Three-Way ANOVA were used to determine the relationship between individual differences and levels of stress. Per the study, TTH records a mean score of 43.47 and an individual average score of 2.88 thus, 29% above normal stress level (baseline score: 33.75, 2.25 WOSS) indicating a generally high stress level among the nurses. A sample size of 452 revealed that there is a significant association between stress and gender (p = 0.041) and male nurses were more stressed than female nurses. There was also a significant association between age and level of stress (p = 0.00), where younger nurses (20-30 years) were more stressed than older nurses (30-40 years and above 40 years). However, no significant association was found between marital status and occupational stress. Although combined together, these three variables do not affect stress, the results for individual variables report the need for management and researchers to integrate individual differences when investigating or managing occupational stress.

“…The study further discusses the impact of emotional and instrumental support both in the workplace and within the family as a crucial tool for reducing work stress and burnout. Within the Nigerian context, we also found evidence that reinforces the claim that organisational and family support are predictors of WLB (Amazue & Onyishi, 2016). On the one hand, organisational support is represented mainly by support from supervisors and colleagues ; on the other hand, support from spouse, parents and other close relatives are regarded as family support (Agba, Nwosu, & Innah, 2015).…”

“…As with most emerging and industrialised economies, Nigeria is confronted with the changing nature of paid work, and the realities of managing work with other non-work responsibilities persist with looming consequences (Amazue & Onyishi, 2016). The ability to balance work demand and non-work responsibilities, commonly referred to as work-life balance (WLB) (see Beauregard & Henry, 2009;Bird, 2006), continues to stimulate research and trigger debate among academics and policymakers for implementable WLB policies that will improve employees' well-being.…”

“…Social support shows diverse forms of support and helps existed among relationship with families, friends, and neighbors [7]. Organizational support is reflected by organization's behavior toward their workers based on workers' behaviors and point of views toward their organization [8]. Therefore, acculturative stress of migrant workers can lead to depression, which affects their quality of life along with individual and environmental factors, such as social support and organizational support.…”

We applied descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analyses with SPSS 22 program. Results: A positive correlation was shown between acculturative stress and depression and a negative correlation was found between acculturative stress and quality of life. Significant factor associated with depression was acculturative stress. Significant factors associated with quality of life were acculturative stress and social support. Conclusion: Our study findings assist nurses to improve the quality of mental health services for Indonesian migrant workers by providing important information such as contact information for health services and counseling and to guide future studies on mental health issues among the population.
