This study compared the frequency and sources of nursing job stress perceived by 35 intensive care (ICU), 30 hospice and 73 medical-surgical nurses. Analysis of variance revealed no significant differences among the three groups of nurses on the overall frequency of job stress. Post-hoc Tukey tests demonstrated a significant difference in three stress subscales among the three groups. ICU and hospice nurses perceived significantly more stress than medical-surgical nurses related to death and dying; ICU and medical-surgical nurses perceived significantly more stress than hospice nurses related to floating; and medical-surgical nurses perceived significantly more stress than ICU and hospice nurses related to work-overload/staffing. Spearman-Rank Correlation revealed no significant correlations among the three groups in their rank-ordering of the eight stress subscales. Death and dying situations were the most stressful to ICU and hospice nurses, while work-overload/staffing situations were the most stressful to medical-surgical nurses. Results of the study, although not generalizable, have implications for nurse managers.
