An Analysis of Role Stress among Hospital Nurses.

Vredenburgh, Donald J.; Trinkaus, Robert J.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v22 n1 p82-95 Feb 1983

Using a sample of 566 nurses, this study focused on role stress, conceptualized in terms of role conflict, uncertainty about acceptance of one's behavior by supervisors and peers, and role ambiguity. Results indicated that individual attributes, including education, locus of control, and professional commitment, predicted role stress. (Author/RC)
