Occupational stress and community mental health nursing: what CPNs really said.
The Claybury Nursing Stress Study assessed the levels of occupational stress experienced by both ward-based and community nurses. This paper presents the results obtained from a qualitative analysis of statements made by community psychiatric nurses during a questionnaire based interview. Key areas identified by CPNs as relevant to stress and coping are reported and suggestions for further, qualitative research in this area are made.
