Abstract
Stress occurs when there is imbalance between perceived demand and the person’s perception of his ability to meet this demand. Job stress was considered to result from the transactional process of job demands and the individual’s ability to meet them or to modify them in any way. Nurse education had been identified more frequently as it had low in autonomy and highly physically and psychologically demands. Most areas of nursing education are stressful, especially clinical training. Although stress is healthy when it facilitates stimulation and alertness, contributes to personal growth and development, but when stress exceeds the individual’s abilities can induce negative physical and psychological disorders.
Stress had also some potential negative impacts on nurse educators, because the psychological and physical health statuses were affected. Nurse educators needed to do things to reduce their stress. These things were involved in coping. In times of stress, an individual normally engages in certain coping strategies to handle the stressful situations and their associated emotions. The more adaptive coping strategies an individual uses in each situation the best and most effective coping strategy for that particular situation, the less his/her stress, and the better his/her mental health. Such research is also important to the nursing education field as it could propose the nurse educators with interventions to reduce their excessive job stress, improve nursing educators’ performance leading to improve nurse students education, then improve health care to all community.
