Occupational stress in a rural hospital.
A rural hospital served as the research setting for this study. Respondents completed occupational stress questionnaires which incorporated five sources of work-related stress factors. Specifically, knowledge, patient care, conflict, environmental, and managerial sources of stress were assessed. The results of an analysis of variance procedure indicated that certain forms of occupational stress were clearly more associated with certain departmental groupings within the hospital than others.
