Nurses' stressors and their quality of life: A study on nurses caring for older patients.

Nurses reported the highest frequency of stressful events related to their workload (mean = 16.42, SD 1.03), followed by "death and dying" (mean = 14.61, SD 1.02). Nurses reported the highest level of quality of life domains was physical health (mean = 15.74, SD = 2.63), while the lowest level was environmental domain (mean = 11.15, SD = 1.86). After controlling for demographic and work-related variables, occupational stress explained a large variance in the physical (R 2 change = .43), psychological (R 2 change = .44) and social relationship (R 2 change = .35) domains of quality of life.
