摘要

护理职业本身就充满压力，导致缺勤，错误增加，绩效下降，这对患者安全构成了严重威胁。尽管存在这些关键问题，但对冈比亚护士工作压力的研究仍然很少。因此，本研究旨在评估冈比亚大班珠尔地区护士的工作压力及其相关因素。方法对3所公立医院192名护士进行横断面调查。采用比例分层随机抽样方法，按医院和护理干部对研究对象进行分层，招募符合条件的研究对象。数据收集使用结构化的自我管理问卷和有效的护理压力量表来评估工作压力。使用描述性统计、双变量和多变量逻辑回归模型。结果21 ~ 30岁的护士占77.1%（148人），女性占59.2%（113人）。本研究中护士工作压力患病率为53.6%。维持一夫一妻制家庭（aOR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.08 ~ 3.95）、经历过心理困扰（aOR = 3.19, 95% CI = 1.55 ~ 6.57）以及在事故和急诊/ICU工作（aOR = 6.85, 95% CI = 1.64 ~ 28.64）的护士发生工作压力的风险更高。结论半数以上的护士存在工作压力。来自一夫一妻制家庭、经历过心理困扰以及在急症室/重症监护室工作的护士更有可能报告工作压力。建议采取实际措施，如实施冈比亚职业卫生法，以减轻工作压力，改善护士的心理健康状况。

Work-related stress and its associated factors among nurses in public hospitals in the Greater Banjul Area, The Gambia

Background

The nursing profession is inherently stressful, leading to absenteeism, increased errors, and reduced performance, which pose serious threats to patient safety. Despite these critical issues, research on work-related stress among nurses in The Gambia remains scarce. Therefore, this study sought to assess work-related stress and its associated factors among nurses in the Greater Banjul Area, The Gambia.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 192 nurses in three public hospitals. A proportionate stratified random sampling method was used to stratify study participants by hospital and nursing cadre and recruit eligible participants. Data was collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire and the validated Nursing Stress Scale to assess work-related stress. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression models were used.

Results

Most of the nurses were aged between 21 and 30 years (77.1 %, n = 148) and were females (59.2 %, n = 113). The prevalence of nurses’ work-related stress in this study was 53.6 %. Nurses who maintained a monogamous family (aOR = 2.06, 95 % CI = 1.08 ∼ 3.95), experienced psychological distress (aOR = 3.19, 95 % CI = 1.55 ∼ 6.57) and worked in accident and emergency/ICU (aOR = 6.85, 95 % CI = 1.64 ∼ 28.64) were at higher risk for developing work-related stress.

Conclusion

More than half of the nurses experienced work-related stress. Nurses from monogamous families, experiencing psychological distress, and working in the A&E/ICU department were more likely to report work stress. Practical measures such as implementing the Gambia’s occupational health laws are recommended to improve work stress for better mental health outcomes among nurses.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
