Anxiety and Depression in Nurses Working in Government Tertiary care Teaching Hospitals of Peshawar KPK and their Relationship with job Stress
Results: The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 100% with a mean score of 41±10.70 and job stress 38.96±18.76. The prevalence of mild, moderate, severe and very severe degrees of anxiety and depression was 55.6%,39.3%,4.6% and 0.6% respectively. There was no significant correlation between total scores on (AKUADS) and job stress on JSQ (0.836 P≥0.5). Five items of job stress: Inability to satisfy patients (0.022, P ≤0.5), health hazards (o.oo3, P ≤o.5), dealing with violent patients (0.001, P≤0.5), dealing with abusive patients(0.043≤0.5) and shift work(0.027, P ≤0.05) showed statistically negative correlation with severity of anxiety and depression.
Conclusion: All nurses in our study had anxiety and depression, the majority were in the mild to moderate intensity range. Although no significant relationship was observed between anxiety and depression and job stress as a whole, yet a significant negative relationship with some aspects of job stress was found. The findings reflected a public health issue.
