Abstract |

Background: Transitioning of patients to the medical–surgical ward from the intensive care unit(ICU) occurs daily. Medical–surgical nurses provide daily care to medically stable patients who are mostly independent. Patients transferred from ICU require more attention and advanced care because they are still in the recovery process. Thus, medical–surgical nurses might feel anxious and stressed while providing care to post ICU transferred patients.
Aim: To assess the stress levels and associated factors among medical–surgical nurses during ICU transitional patient care in Saudi Arabia.
Method: A descriptive, quantitative cross-sectional survey was used for this study. The present study recruited medical–surgical nursing staff from two hospitals in Al-Jouf region, Prince Metab Hospital (PMH) and Swair central Hospital (SCH), Saudi Arabia.
Result: 79 medical–Surgical nursing staff participated in the study. They reported moderate stress level during patient transitional care. There was five sociodemographic characteristics associated with the stress level, "nationality, sex, religion, workplace and salary". Moreover, the study results in a common work-related factor that were arrange in descending order as follows: death and dying, workload, conflict with other nurses, conflict with physician, uncertainty concerning treatment, lack of support and inadequate preparation.
Conclusion and Recommendations It is critical to address the issue of stress among medical/surgical nurses. Nursing administrators are encouraged to establish proper channels for assisting nurses who are overwhelmed and stressed out, as well as to develop programs that teach nurses how to cope with chronic stress. Furthermore, the study findings can be used to develop human resource policies aimed at reducing nurses' stress and, as a consequence, improved health care and task force work performance.
