This paper describes the development of an instrument, the Nursing Job Stressor Scale (NJSS). The statements on the job stressors were identified from the literature and redesigned to describe nursing situations that result in stress. A 55-items questionnaire was administered to a sample of 568 hospital nurses. Nurses were asked to indicate on a 5-point scale how intensively they experienced such situations as stressful. Factor analysis using a principal factoring with a varimax rotation resulted in 7 subscales that closely paralleled the conceptual categories of stressor on which the scale was based. These subscales were: conflict with other nursing staffs, nursing role conflict, conflict with physicians and autonomy, death and dying, qualitative work load, quantitative work load, conflict with patients. By selecting 33 items, a new set of the Nursing Job Stressor Scale was developed. Test-retest reliability as well as internal consistency indicated that the seven subscales were reliable. Validity was determined by correlating the total score from the Nusring Stresssor Scale with measures of burnout. These examinations showed the usefulness of the scale.
