This is in response to the person seeking info about nursing and stress.

Dr. Esther Greenglass, a professor at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has done some research in this area. You may want to find some of her studies; a few of her publications are as follows:

Greenglass, E. (with R. J. Burke). (2000). Hospital restructuring and nursing staff well-being: The role of coping. International Journal of Stress, 7, 49-59.

Greenglass, E., & Burke, R. J. (2000). The relationship between hospital restructuring, anger, hostility and psychosomatics in nurses. Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology. 10, 155-161.

Greenglass, E. (with R. J. Burke). (2000). Effects of hospital restructuring on full time and part time nursing staff in Ontario. International Journal of Nursing Studies, 37, 163-171.

Greenglass, E. & Burke, R. J. (2000). Hospital downsizing, individual resources, and occupational stressors in nurses. Anxiety, Stress and Coping, 13, 371-390.

Hope that helps.
