Abstract

Nursing is a high-demanding job with many responsibilities. Intensive care nurses have more complex responsibilities as they have to deliver intensive care for critical patients. This condition puts them at risk of experiencing high stress. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) in reducing stress on intensive care nurses. SIT aims to help individuals to develop personal coping strategies and improve their confidence in facing stressful situations. This is a quasi-experimental study with experimental one group pretest-posttest design on 13 subjects. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is used in this study to see the degree of stress experienced by the subjects. The data analyses are Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and effect size by Cohen. The analysis result shows that SIT has a medium effect in reducing stress on intensive care nurses. There is a decrease of stress according to mean scores. This research can be developed further to design a stress management program for nurses.
