Abstract
This study aims to assess the chief contributing factors to occupational stress experienced by nursing staff in the DLSUMC hospital. Self-administered questionnaire using the PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) and the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) Questionnaire with integrated qualitative questions. Proportion and frequency of factors of occupation stress were tabulated and integrated with codes and themes from qualitative data to determine the consistency of factors with occupational stress levels and the most burdensome stressors within nurses of DLSUMC. It was found that out of the 9 factors of the ENSS survey, Conflicts with Physicians, Workload, Death & Dying and Patients & their Families to be the most prevalent stress factors that expose nurses to high stress levels, with qualitative results showed high association and quantitative results showing high prevalence for the factors above, however they are not statistically significant. There is a probable high association between the stress levels of nurses with the factors of Conflicts with Physicians, Workload, Death & Dying and Patients & their Families. Age, sex, civil status, socioeconomic class, and history of emotional instability can only be considered as possible confounders.
