Background and Aim: Environmental stresses, such as life and job stresses, may cause some changes in the menstrual bleeding pattern and the hormonal system. The objective of the present study was to assess the level of job stress in nurses and its relationship with their menstrual bleeding pattern.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive- correlational study was performed on 150 nurses working in teaching hospitals affiliated to Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in 2016. The data collection tools included a demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) job stress questionnaire, and a researcher-made questionnaire related to menstrual bleeding pattern. SPSS version 20 was applied to analyze the data.
Results: The mean age of participants was 30.92±0.41 years, and 68.7% of them had a bleeding duration between 3 to 7 days; the highest volume of bleeding ranged from 60 to 200 cc. The results indicated no significant relationship between job stress with duration of menstrual bleeding, and the time interval between menstrual bleedings (P>0.05); however, there was a significant relationship between job stress and the volume of menstrual bleeding (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The present results revealed job stress in nurses; therefore, adopting appropriate strategies to improve working conditions and reduce stressful situations appears to be necessary.
