Abstract
Background: Stress is the response of the body and mind towards various changes in the physical environment of a person. Stress in the workplace is commonly recognized as one of the main factors that cause mental health problems. The term "stress", as it is currently used was coined by Hans Selye in 1936, : who defined it as "the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change". Work stress in nursing was first assessed in 1960 when Menzies identified four sources of anxiety among nurses: patient care, decision-making, taking responsibility, and change. The nurse’s role has long been regarded as stress-filled based on the physical labor, human suffering, work hours, staffing, and interpersonal relationships that are central to the work nurses do.
Objective:
- To assess the knowledge regarding coping strategies for stress-related disorders at the working environment among staff nurses
- To determine the effectiveness structured teaching program among the staff nurses regarding coping strategies for stress-related disorders at the working environment
- To find the association between Pre-test knowledge scores with their selected demographic variables.
Material and methods: A Quantitative research study was done. A pre-experimental, one-group pretest, post-test design was adopted for the present study.
Sample: The accessible population for the study consists of staff nurses.
Sample Setting: The study was conducted in Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital Bareilly, U.P.
Sample size: 60 samples were selected by Convenient Sampling Technique. Data was collected using the Self-Structured Knowledge Questionnaire. The collected data was organized in a Master Data Sheet and analyzed using Descriptive and inferential statistics as per the study's objective.
Results: The mean post-test knowledge score (22.73) was greater than the mean pre-test knowledge score (11.71) with the mean difference of 11.46. The calculated t value was (t=-23.84) more than the tabled value (t (59) = 3.46). Hence there is significant difference in the mean post-test knowledge scores; it shows that the structured teaching program was effectiveness in improving the level of knowledge of staff nurses.
Conclusion: Structured Teaching Program, is an effective teaching method to teach the participants and also help to enhance the knowledge of the staff nurses regarding coping strategies for stress-related disorders in the working environment
