Abstract

Nurse is the most common stressed profession. They works with life threatening patients, emergency and stressed patients. The sources of stress can be personal, interpersonal and environment factors. Some literature stated that a new graduated nurse may feel more stressful when they work at hospital for the fst time. This condition can decrease nursing performance and become harmful to patients. However, the study of correlation between work experience and work related stress in teaching hospital is still limited. Therefore, this study will analyze the correlation between length of nurse employment and work related stress on nurse at in-patient ward in Hasanuddin University Hospital, a teaching hospital in Makassar, Indonesia. This study is a quantitative study with applied cross sectional study. This study collected information from 72 sample (total sampling). They flled in valid questionnaires regarding work related stress. The length of nurse employment was how many years of samples works as a nurse. Chi-square was applied to this study and the result showed that p value is 0, 038. It means, statistically, there was a correlation between the length of nurse employment and work related stress on nurse at inpatient ward in the hospital. The shorter of the length of employment, the more stress on nurse. This fact showed that inexperienced nurse will get more stress than experienced nurse when they work in hospital. The result implies that self effcacy of graduated nurses and working environment are important to reduce their stress. Working in a good condition can improve patient safety
