| Introduction: Nursing is a stressful job and Job stress has become a challenge for the
nursing profession. Job stress can lead to a loss of creativity, job dissatisfaction, feeling of
inadequacy, depression and reduced quality of nursing care. The present study was performed
to investigate the relationship between personality characteristics and Job stress among
medical staff in Saqqez Imam Khomeini's Hospital.
Methods: In this correlation-descriptive study, 115 nurses from Saqqez Imam Khomeini's
Hospital in 2013 were selected based on census sampling method. Data were collected by
Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) and NEO Personality Inventory. Data were analyzed
by SPSS-18 software using descriptive statistics, independent t test, Pearson correlation and
regression at the significant level of p≤0.05.
Results: 41 (35.7%) subjects were male and 74 (64.3%) were female. The mean age of the
participants was 31.9±6.6 years. In the current study, there was a significant direct
relationship between job stress and neuroticism (R = 0.38 and p=0.01). The results of
multiple regression analysis showed that the variable neuroticism is a good predictor for
occupational stress.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between neuroticism and job stress and attention to the
neuroticism as a predictor of job stress in nurses is essential.
