ABSTRACT

Being part and parcel of our existence, stress has its roots in every aspect of our lives like personal life, professional life, family life, academic life, etc. Owing to the professional side, people on different levels have been hit by occupational stress resulting from different sources in a broad spectrum. Out of many causes, the most overwhelming cause has been the sectors under which people serve, that is, the Government and Private sectors. The focus of this study revolves around the comparison of occupational stress faced by nurses working in Government and Private Hospitals. The tool used for this study is the “Work-related Stress Questionnaire” developed by Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The sample consists of 40 subjects, 20 nurses from Government sector and 20 nurses from Private sector, are selected on the basis of the convenient sampling method. The results are computed using the appropriate statistical technique and are analyzed thoroughly.
