A total of 189 new graduate nurses working in ICUs reported significant differences in stress levels based on gender.
- Female nurses exhibited higher mean scores on the (PSS)-10 and (ENSS)-10 compared to males.
- Significant variations in stress related to workload were found across different genders, age groups, and types of ICUs.
- Inadequate emotional preparation scores significantly differed based on age group, marital status, and type of ICU.
- Major stressors identified included discrimination, issues with supervisors, heavy workloads, lack of peer support, uncertainty about treatment, and challenges in patient and family interactions.
