Abstract
Abstract: Nurses and their employers are faced with substantial challenges. Nurses have been found to experience considerable strain at work that is related to high workloads, emotional demands, shift work, or understaffing, while healthcare organizations are struggling to attract and retain qualified staff. Aim of the study: is to assess the relationship between nursing personnel’s job demands, strains, and work performance in critical care units. Design: A descriptive correlational design was used to conduct this study. Setting: at (Adult ICU– Adult CCU) units at AL-Hussein University Hospital and Sayed Galal University Hospital affiliated to ALAzhar University, Cairo governorate, Egypt. Subjects: All available nurses (100) nurses were recruited from two previously mentioned university hospitals University hospital. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used for data collection included: Job demands questionnaire, nursing personnel’s job strains questionnaire and Nursing personnel’s performance checklist. Results: The study findings revealed that, the participant nurses had a slightly high total job demands (62.87%), a slightly high total work strain (68.52%), and finally, they had a moderate total work performance (59.96%). Conclusion: there were insignificant statistical correlations between job demand, work strain, and work performance. Recommendations: Implementing stress management-training program inside the hospital for all nurses could be positively contributing to improving staff performance, and provision of counseling office with a trained staff, support groups, and team building activities for the head nurses could counteract the undesirable levels of work stress.
