Abstract

The emergency department in a hospital tends to pose a high stress level. This is due to the
conditions, i.e., life-threatening condition of patients that often trigger the stress on the nurses.
The nurses are required to act immediately and to possess specific skills to provide accurate
treatment to the patients. Such a condition signifies the major role of nurses in a hospital. It also
demands improvement in the performances of the nurses to conceptualize quality health
services. Occupational stress is a term used to refer to depression or emotion, being irritable
towards the situation of the workplace, and it is signified by both mental and physical condition
of a person. This inevitably affects one’s health as and the spiritual condition. Excessive workload
is among the factors causing occupational stress. This study aims at exploring the correlation
between workload and occupational stress of nurses in the emergency department of Regional
Public Hospital RSUD. Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes Kupang. The cross-sectional study involved
40 respondents selected using a total sampling method. The data were analyzed using the
Pearson chi-square correlation. It is revealed that the p-value 0.000 is lower than á 0.05, meaning
that H0 is rejected and signifying that workload correlates with the occupational stress of the nurses in the research site.
