Work Related Stress Among Anesthetists In Addis Ababa Hospitals Prevalence And Associated Factors

The major purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of work related stress among anesthetists in Addis Ababa Hospitals. The research employed a cross-sectional research design using Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and turnover intention scale as research instruments. Out of ten government run hospitals in which surgery is performed, four hospitals were selected through the use of the lottery method of simple random sampling as the target population has the same job roles and the available professionals are very limited. Informed consents were obtained from the participants and fifty one anesthetists working in selected hospitals filled out the questionnaire. The findings showed that the prevalence of high level of work related stress was 96.1% among participant anesthetists. Moreover, all the participants had low level of job satisfaction and 84.3% had turnover intention. Generally, this study suggests that the job control and demand of anesthetists and lack of social support increased work stress experience of anesthetists since the results indicated that the participant anesthetists job control and demand positively and significantly correlated with their work stress level, job satisfaction score was negatively and significantly correlated with turnover intention and social support was negatively and significantly correlated with job satisfaction.
