Abstract

ABSTRACT Stress is a part and parcel of human lifestyle. Stress is a bodily or mental tension resulting from factors that tend to alter an existent equilibrium. Nursing is generally perceived as demanding profession. AIM: The study was carried out with the objectives to assess the knowledge of stress management techniques among pediatric nurses and to associate with their socio demographic variables. METHODS: Non experimental research design was adopted.30 nurses working in selected tertiary care hospital were selected by using convenient sampling technique. TOOL: Data was collected by using self-structured knowledge questionnaire consists of 15 questions regarding Stress management techniques as 2-items of healthy stress comprises 5-questions, and Personal stress comprises 10-questions. RESULTS: Level of knowledge among Age related was more than 30 years were 24(80%), and less than 30 years were 6(20%); there is difference in Gender and Marital Status. Regard to Working experience there was no changes in knowledge, but information of Stress management techniques during Last 2 years were very less 20(66.6%), Attended stress management course during the working period also found very less 7(23. 3%).Thus found there is a poor knowledge regarding Stress management techniques among pediatric nurses. Also there is significant association with level of knowledge on stress management techniques related to age, marital status, gender, information and course attended among pediatric nurses at the level of p<0.001. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that majority of the nurses have low knowledge in stress management techniques. It is also found that stress due to work organization and inter personal relationship at work is harder which adds up to the stress. It is evident in the present study that older age group and women were commonly low level of knowledge in stress management techniques.

在nagercoil选定医院评估儿科护士压力管理技术知识的研究

摘要压力是人类生活方式的重要组成部分。压力是一种身体或精神上的紧张，这种紧张是由一些因素造成的，这些因素往往会改变现有的平衡。护理通常被认为是要求很高的职业。目的:本研究的目的是评估儿科护士的压力管理技术知识，并与他们的社会人口变量相关联。方法:采用非实验研究设计。采用方便抽样法，选取30名三级医院护士。工具:采用压力管理技巧方面的自结构化知识问卷，共15题，其中健康压力2题5题，个人压力10题。结果:年龄相关人群中知识水平在30岁以上的有24人(80%)，在30岁以下的有6人(20%);性别和婚姻状况存在差异。在工作经历方面，知识没有变化，但最近2年压力管理技术信息非常少(66.6%)，在工作期间参加压力管理课程的信息也非常少(23)。3%)。因此，发现有一个贫乏的知识，关于压力管理技术在儿科护士。儿科护士的年龄、婚姻状况、性别、信息和所参加的课程与压力管理技术知识水平有显著相关，p<0.001。结论:大部分护士对压力管理技术的了解程度较低。研究还发现，由于工作组织和人际关系而产生的压力更大，从而增加了压力。在本研究中，老年人和女性在压力管理技术方面的知识水平普遍较低。建议实施减轻压力的策略
