Introduction. Stress is a new problem in the current life of nurses. There are many factors that lead to stress among nurses in the workplace. In emergency settings, nurses tend to experience higher levels of adverse mental health outcomes compared to physicians. Therefore, the study of positive and negative factors associated with professional stress remains important.
The aim of the study – to establish the main motivational factors of work among nurses of therapeutic and surgical departments with different levels of perceived stress.
The main part. 45 nurses participated in the study, who were trained during ongoing courses of professional development and retraining of junior medical and pharmaceutical specialists. The Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire was used to measure the expression of the stress. To determine the motivational factors of the work of nurses of therapeutic and surgical departments, we used the validated questionnaire “Study of the motivations of medical staff”. For medical workers of therapeutic and surgical profiles with a moderate level of perceived stress, the main motivational factors of work were “work to help others”, “interesting work”, “close cooperation with people”, “difficult work”, “exciting work”, “responsibility in work”. At the same time, the level of perceived stress among nurses in therapeutic departments (where average and high levels of stress prevail) is probably higher in relation to nurses in surgical departments (where average and low levels of stress prevail) according to such incentives as “work to help others”, “safe work”, “social benefits”, “ability to make a significant contribution to society”, “opportunity to travel”, “exciting work”, “opportunity to combine family and work”, “flexible work schedule”, “possibility of promotion”, “responsibility in work”, “pleasant working conditions”, “starting salary” and “demand for the profession”, p<0.05.
Conclusions. The obtained data indicate an average and high level of stress in nurses of therapeutic departments, as well as an average and low level of stress in nurses of surgical departments, which are associated with certain motivational factors of work.
