Abstract: (277 Views)
Introduction: Nursing is one of the most stressful jobs, and occupational stress can affect various aspects of life, including fertility. While the country's population policies have aimed to encourage childbearing, it is important to note that the nursing community is predominantly composed of women, who bear the burden of childbirth. This study aims to investigate the relationship between nursing occupational stress and the tendency to fertility in female nurses.
Methods and Materials: This is a descriptive correlational study involving 220 working female nurses in medical training centers in Hamadan in 2023. The participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data was collected using three questionnaires: a demographic information questionnaire, the nursing stress scale, and the fertility tendency questionnaire for women. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS-22 software.
Results: The mean scores for nursing occupational stress (85.21±11.23) and tendency to fertility (43.00±15.81) fell within the average range. There was a significant inverse correlation between nursing occupational stress and tendency to fertility (r=-0.81, p<0.001). A high number of night shifts, limited work experience, unstable employment, and a master's education were significantly associated with increased occupational stress and decreased tendency to fertility (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results indicate that an increase in nursing occupational stress is associated with a decrease in the tendency to fertility among female nurses. To encourage fertility within the nursing community, it is recommended to implement measures aimed at reducing their occupational stress.
