“…In one such study, professional, enrolled and auxiliary nurses reported severe stress due to staff issues [ 32 ]. This can be explained by the overburdened South African health system where nurses may be unable to meet the demands of their job due to poor staff management which may negatively affect morale [ 41 ], lack of resources which may negatively affect patient care [ 29 ] and security issues owing to high levels of crime in the country [ 42 ].…”

Gaps in research focusing on work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses is evident within developing contexts like South Africa. This study identified the relationship between work related stress, burnout, job satisfaction and general health of nurses. A total of 1200 nurses from four hospitals were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study (75% response rate). Participants completed five questionnaires and multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine significant relationships between variables. Staff issues are best associated with burnout as well as job satisfaction. Burnout explained the highest amount of variance in mental health of nurses. These are known to compromise productivity and performance, as well as affect the quality of patient care. Issues, such as security risks in the workplace, affect job satisfaction and health of nurses. Although this is more salient to developing contexts it is important in developing strategies and intervention programs towards improving nurse and patient related outcomes.

“…376 van der C olff ScRothmann Macro organisational work context influences Lambert and Lambert (2001) found that the following factors in South Africa contribute to a stressful work environment for nurses: impaired communication with management, racism, lack o f fair competitive remunera tion and disregard for professional worth, non-conducive physical and psychological surroundings, lack of support from supervisors, high responsibility, long working hours and task overload (Lambert, Lambert, Petrini, Li, & Zhang, 2007;Lim, Bogossian, & Ahem, 2010;Nabirye et al, 2011); caring and dealing with pain, suffering and dying of patients (Lambert et a l, 2012); role conflict and ambiguity (Levert, Lucas, & Ortlepp, 2000), under-staffing (Kilfedder, Power, & Wells, 2001); improper working equipment (Wua, Fox, Stokes, & Adam, 2012); conflict at work (Lim et al, 2010), and limited possibilities for decision making (Tuvesson et al, 2012). James (2002) and Maluwa et al (2012) found that nurses often experience a lack of resources. This lack of resources, such as staff, linen, food, and equipment, left the nurses with a feeling of dissatisfaction because they could not do their work as expected of them.…”

The objective of this study was to identify occupational stressors for professional nurses in South Africa. A cross-sectional survey design was used. A stratified random sample of professional nurses (n = 818; females = 97%) in hospitals in South Africa was used. The Nursing Stress Indicator (NSI) was administrated together with a biographical questionnaire. Three internally consistent stress factors, namely lack of organisational support, job demands and nursing-specific demands, were extracted. The most severe stressors for professional nurses included staff shortages, inadequate salaries and excessive administrative duties. Work overload, fellow workers not doing their job, health risks posed by contact with patients and demands of patients were also identified as stressors. Stress was associated with specific factors, including age, position (rank), care unit, and work experience.
