Abstract

Background: Occupational stress, dissatisfaction, higher risk for chronical and psychological disorders impairs the well-being of care nurses staff and maintaining the quality of elderly and disabled care. However, few studies have compared the psychological and physical stress in nurses working in inpatient and outpatient care settings. Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare perceived stress, workload and psychosomatic complaints in nurses working in inpatient and outpatient care settings. Methods: 158 care nurses working in geriatric and disabled care participated in the quantitative cross-sectional survey study. Comparisons of stress, workload and psychosomatic complaints were made between the inpatient and outpatient care group. Results: Nurses working in the outpatient care reported more subjective experience of stress and more workload compared to nurses working in inpatient care. Additionally, nurses working in outpatient care reported more psychosomatic complaints compared to nurses in inpatient care. Conclusions: Our results suggest that inpatient and outpatient nurses experience their nursing activities differently stressful. In future research the differential stress factors need to be explored to provide adequate job training and develop stress prevention programs.

住院和门诊护理护士的感知压力、工作量和心身抱怨。

背景：职业压力、不满、慢性病和心理障碍的高风险损害了护理人员的健康，也损害了老年人和残疾人护理的质量。然而，很少有研究比较在住院和门诊护理环境中工作的护士的心理和身体压力。目的：本研究的目的是比较在住院和门诊护理环境中工作的护士的感知压力、工作量和心身抱怨。方法：158名从事老年人和残疾人护理的护理护士参与了定量横断面调查研究。对住院组和门诊组的压力、工作量和心身症状进行了比较。结果：与住院护理护士相比，门诊护理护士报告了更多的主观压力体验和更多的工作量。此外，与住院护理的护士相比，门诊护理的护士报告了更多的心身投诉。结论：我们的研究结果表明，住院护士和门诊护士的护理活动压力不同。在未来的研究中，需要探索不同的压力因素，以提供足够的工作培训并制定压力预防计划。

期刊介绍： Pflege ist die erste unabhängige wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für die Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege im deutschen Sprachbereich. Sie trägt zur Entwicklung der Pflegewissenschaft sowie zur Qualität der Pflege in der Praxis bei. Die Zeitschrift versteht sich als umfassendes Forum, in welchem die sich rasch entwickelnden Bereiche der Pflegeforschung, -theorie und -praxis sowie der Ausbildung, des Managements, der Ethik, Geschichte und Politik der Pflege diskutiert werden können. Zusammenfassungen von Forschungsberichten und Mitteilungen aus der internationalen Pflegeszene, Buchbesprechungen und der internationale Kongresskalender ermöglichen der Leserschaft, sich einen Überblick über das aktuelle Geschehen zu verschaffen, sich bezüglich berufsspezifischer Literatur auf dem Laufenden zu halten, um somit die Weiterbildung gezielt zu gestalten. Pflege publiziert Beiträge, die eine hohe Relevanz für Praxis, Forschung, Theorie, Ausbildung, Ethik, Geschichte, Politik und das Management in der Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum haben. Manuskripte ohne Bezug zur Pflege im deutschsprachigen Raum werden abgelehnt.
