ABSTRACT:

Background

The level of stress experienced by nurses is related to their length of service. In the current study, we investigated the potential correlations among stressors, coping styles, and anxiety and depression in pediatric nurses with different lengths of service in six tertiary hospitals in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Methods

Between January and June 2018, we enrolled 500 pediatric nurses from 6 tertiary hospitals in Chengdu using a convenience sampling method. A cross-sectional survey was carried out using the Chinese Nurses' Occupational Stressor Scale (NOSS), the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Zung's Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS).
