Abstract:
ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the contributing factors of work-related stress among nurses in the
COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 101 nurse
practitioners from two hospitals in West Java, Indonesia. We distributed an online questionnaire
to evaluate work-related stress and the data were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression.
Results: More than half of the nurses experienced moderate work-related stress. The study
revealed that nurses aged over 35 years old had a lower likelihood of experiencing workrelated stress (AOR: 0.173; 95%CI: 0.038-0.782). Married nurses had a higher likelihood (AOR:
7.156; 95% CI: 1.456-35.163). Additionally, nurses with low and moderate workloads had
a lower likelihood (AOR: 0.003; 95%CI: 0.000-0.051) and (AOR: 0.025; 95%CI: 0.005-0.116),
respectively. Conclusion: The consideration of age, marital status, and workload is essential
in effectively addressing work-related stress among nurse practitioners.
