Effect of work locus of control, work-related stressors on work-related stress reaction in nurses

  Objective   To explore the impact of work locus of control, work-related stressors on work-related stress reaction.

  Methods   377 nurses worked in military hospital were investigated by work locus of control scale, nurse work-related stress reaction scale and work-related stressors scale.

  Results   (1) Correlation analysis showed work-related stress reaction and its three categories were significantly correlated with the work locus of control(r=0.302, 0.289, 0.281, 0.151).(2)There were significant difference in work-related stress reaction score of nurses who were in different work locus of control tape(F=18.478, P < 0.001);(3)There were interaction between work locus of control and work-related reaction.

  Conclusion   Work-related stress reaction are closely associated with the work locus of control.
