Several factors contribute to clinical stress in the nursing profession:
High Workload: Nurses often handle multiple patients and tasks simultaneously, leading to physical and mental exhaustion. Emotional Demands: Dealing with patients' suffering, death, and families' emotional needs can be emotionally draining. Work Environment: A fast-paced, high-pressure environment with inadequate support can lead to stress. Interpersonal Conflicts: Disagreements with colleagues or supervisors can contribute to stress. Ethical Dilemmas: Nurses frequently face situations where they must make difficult ethical decisions, adding to their stress levels.
