Available to the general public. Work-related stress became an increasing global problem affecting all categories of workers including healthcare professionals. World Health Organization reported that stress, specially related to work is currently the second most frequent health problem and is a significant problem of our times. Several studies revealed that nurses are under greatest work stress and highest physical, psychological, and emotional strain. Thus, identifying the predominant work-related stressors, the level of stress, and the specific coping mechanisms utilized by nurses provides essential baseline data in reducing work-related stress. This study also examined relationships between work-related stressors and selected socio-demographic factors. Likewise, the relationship between work-related stressors and coping mechanisms was determined. It utilized the Modified Expanded Nurses Stress Scale (ENSS) and the Modified Ways of Coping (WOC) research instruments. The ENSS consists of 9 subscales while the WOC consists of 8 subscales. A descriptive-correlational and cross sectional design was used. -- The predominant work-related stressor that occasionally occurs in the work setting reported by the respondents in this study was workload while discrimination stressors never occur. Respondents reported moderate level of stress (M=2.66, SD=0.85) on the nine subscale. The highest moderate score was on patient and family stressor (M=2.91, SD=0.95). Emotion-focused coping specifically accepting responsibility and positive reappraisal were the frequently used coping mechanisms. Significant relationships was found between work-related stressors and selected socio-demographic variables such as age, civil status, and length of service. On the other hand, significant relationships was found between work-related stressors and coping mechanisms such as confrontive, distancing, and escape-avoidance. -- Finding indicates the importance of designing effective stress management program and strengthening constructive coping mechanisms based on the predominant work-related stressors to reduce the level of stress among nurses and prevent the negative effect on their health, safety, performance, and quality of care, The study also recommends comprehensive competency training program for staffs with less than 5 years of working experience as nurse to develop their physical, psychological, social, and emotional skills.
