Nursing is a profession that demands high levels of physical, emotional, and mental endurance. Factors contributing to increased stress include long working hours, high patient-to-nurse ratios, and the emotional toll of dealing with critically ill patients. The added responsibilities during health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have further exacerbated these stressors. Additionally, workplace violence and bullying can create a toxic environment that significantly impacts mental well-being.
