Factors of psychosocial work environment and their impact on stress experienced by nurses
Índice
In contemporary working life there are various important changes happening all the time. Changes in working life inevitably influence health, life, and work quality of the people working. The factors of psychosocial work environment are the major factors conditioning job satisfaction as well as the quality of it. Psychosocial work environment factors are related to the conditions of work environment, work requirements and control, work organisation, interpersonal relations among employees or between an employer and an employee; these factors cause stress to a person at work and they are the major factors conditioning job satisfaction. The aim of this research is to analyse the psychosocial work environment factors experienced by nurses as well as their influence on the stress suffered by them. Research methodology: Quantitative research has been accomplished, whereas the second version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ II) has been applied for data collection. Results: Psychosocial work environment factors of nurses are the main sources of stress experienced except for impact and development prospects; there are statistically significant (p<0.05) connections identified. The greatest stress experienced at work is related to the lack of fairness and respect (r=-0.36; p<0.001). Burnout syndrome in nurses is statistically significantly related to almost all psychological work environment factors. Conclusions: Psychosocial work environment factors increase the risk of psychological state deteriorating in nurses as well as influence the stress experienced by nurses.
