Prevalence of stress among healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia
Keywords:
healthcare workers, prevalence of stress, hospital staffAbstract
This research presented substantial evidence about the role of age on the prevalence of stress among healthcare workers in the Saudi context. Although it is a small variation, data showed that older healthcare professionals were less stressed. Therefore, further research could explore what benefits and resources for an aging healthcare workforce improve stress levels. Such an investigation can reveal useful information to the Saudi government and other relevant authorities about policies for the benefits of workers that might also be attractive to the impending retirement, which might otherwise be less affordable to government leaders. Relationship between psychosocial hazards and work performance of nurses in Saudi Arabia. Health care system in Saudi Arabia: an overview. Determinants of work stress among hospital staff at a tertiary hospital, Saudi Arabia. Factors affecting nurse retention in hospitals: an empirical review.
