Aims: Job stress, reduced quality of life, and fatigue are major factors in reducing productivity in organizations and causing physical and psychological complications in nursing personnel. Since job stress in nurses, as an important component of the health care system, has a significant impact on the quality of clinical care, this study investigated the effectiveness of cognitive and behavioral stress reduction on job stress, dimensions of quality of work life, and components of fatigue in nurses.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with two groups (an experimental group and a control group). The statistical population of the study included all nurses working at Shahid Mahallati Hospital in 2023, which is about 500 people. Among the nurses working at the hospital, 30 people who met the inclusion criteria for the study were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The research tools included Chalder et al.'s Chronic Fatigue Questionnaire (1993), Job Stress Questionnaire (1990), Walton's Quality of Work Life Questionnaire (1973), and cognitive-behavioral stress management intervention according to the Anthony model (2009). The experimental group received training in 9 90-minute sessions, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The obtained data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) using SPSS software version 28.
Findings: The results showed that cognitive-behavioral stress reduction training affected reducing fatigue and its components (mental and physical) in nurses (p<0.05). Cognitive-behavioral stress reduction training had an effect on occupational stress in nurses (p<0.001). Cognitive-behavioral stress reduction training affected components of quality of work life in nurses (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Therefore, we conclude that cognitive-behavioral stress reduction training can be used to reduce fatigue, quality of work life, and job stress in nurses.
