ASSESSMENT OF STRESS AND SATISFACTION IN NURSES, AS PART OF HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION
Abstract:
Our study aimed to assess job satisfaction and perceived stress in nurses working in a clinical
hospital of excellence during the preparation for accreditation. We performed a descriptive crosssectional
survey in 62 nurses, using two tools: one assessing job satisfaction and the Perceived Stress
Scale 14 (PSS-14). We found that most of the nurses working in the selected hospital are generally
satisfied or very satisfied about their workplace, and have a medium level of perceived stress. With all
the limitation of this study, the results support the adoption of routine evaluation of stress and job
satisfaction in hospitals, as valuable tools for improving the working environment
