Background of the Study
Emergency nurses often work in high-stress environments where they are required to make quick decisions, manage critical situations, and provide care to patients with severe or life-threatening conditions. The stress associated with such high-pressure work can lead to burnout, fatigue, and reduced job satisfaction, all of which can negatively affect performance and patient outcomes (Umar & Jibril, 2024). Stress management training has been shown to improve mental well-being, reduce burnout, and enhance job performance in healthcare professionals, including nurses.
Sokoto State Specialist Hospital is a prominent medical facility in northern Nigeria, providing emergency care to a large population. The hospital’s emergency department is often overwhelmed with patients requiring immediate attention, placing significant emotional and physical demands on the nursing staff. While emergency nurses at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital are skilled in clinical care, the high-stress nature of their work can affect their ability to perform optimally over time.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of stress management training on emergency nurses' performance at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital. By focusing on how stress management techniques impact job satisfaction, burnout rates, and overall performance, this research will provide insights into the benefits of stress management interventions for emergency nursing staff. This study will also explore the potential for incorporating stress management training into professional development programs for emergency nurses.
Statement of the Problem (300 words)
The work environment for emergency nurses is often marked by high stress, emotional exhaustion, and overwhelming patient loads. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to burnout, which negatively affects both the well-being of nurses and the quality of care provided to patients. Stress management training has been shown to alleviate symptoms of burnout and improve job performance in healthcare settings, yet its specific impact on emergency nurses at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital remains underexplored.
Emergency nurses at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital often face challenging conditions, including long shifts, high patient volumes, and traumatic situations. These stressors can impact their ability to perform optimally, leading to reduced efficiency and potential errors in patient care. Stress management training may provide nurses with the tools to manage stress more effectively, improve their coping strategies, and enhance their performance in the emergency department. However, there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of stress management training for emergency nurses in this context. This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating how such training affects nursing performance at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital.
Objectives of the Study
1. To evaluate the impact of stress management training on emergency nurses’ job satisfaction and performance at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital.
2. To assess the relationship between stress management training and the reduction of burnout among emergency nurses.
3. To identify the strategies and techniques from stress management training that most effectively improve nursing performance.
Research Questions
1. How does stress management training impact job satisfaction and performance among emergency nurses at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital?
2. What is the relationship between stress management training and the reduction of burnout in emergency nurses?
3. Which stress management techniques are most effective in improving nursing performance?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: Stress management training does not significantly improve job satisfaction or performance among emergency nurses at Sokoto State Specialist Hospital.
2. H₀: Stress management training does not significantly reduce burnout among emergency nurses.
3. H₀: There are no specific stress management techniques that significantly improve emergency nurses’ performance.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
