Analysis of Nurse Work Stress Factors During the COVID-19 Pandemic at RSUD Prof. dr. Soekandar, Mojokerto Regency, East Java

This study aimed to determine the relationship between personal and organizational factors and the occurrence of work stress for nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic at RSUD Prof. dr. Soekandar. This research was a quantitative observational study using a cross sectional study design. The number of samples in this study amounted to 145 respondents. The research was conducted from October to December 2022. Data analysis used the Pearson test and linear regression. The events of work stress for nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic were unaffected by work shift (p = 0.375). While the variables that affect the incidence of work stress for nurses are social support variables (p=0.001; R= -0.277), workload variables (p=0.000; R = 0.562), work shift variables (p=0.000; R= -0.418) , and the policy variable on the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (p=0.000; R= -0.326). Based on the results of the multivariate test, it can be seen that the R Square value was 0.412 or equal to 41.2% of nurses' work stress events were influenced by the variables of social support, workload, work shifts and policies on the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). While 58.8% was influenced by variables that were not examined. Variables influencing nurses' work stress incidence were workload (p = 0.000; Regression Coefficient = 0.913) and nurse work shifts (p = 0.000; Regression Coefficient = -2.173).
