The prevalence of job stressors among nurses in private in vitro fertilization (IVF) centres.

Of the invited 131 medical professionals, 105 (80%) completed the confidential self-administered questionnaire. Thirty-five participants (33.3%) were nurses, 19 (18.1%) were doctors and 51 (48.6%) were lab technicians. Approximately two-thirds reported not having children (67.6%), half (50.48%) married and three-quarters (76.2%) were women, with a significant difference by medical worker group (p < 0.05). Among the three groups, nurses have higher occupational stress index score compared with the others. The OSI score only had a strong relationship with the "high demand" (p < 0.001). Some demographic variables (e.g., income, long working hours, education level) statistically represented the high significant source of job stress.
