Development and psychometric properties of the stressor scale for emergency nurses

Nurses experience high levels of work-related stress [1]; however, nurses who work in different environments and contexts experience different stressors [2]. A stressor is defined as any factor or event that threatens an individual ’s health or reduces normal functioning [3]. In the workplace, stress occurs when the job requirements do not match the resources, capabilities, and needs of the workers [4].
