Workplace stress is most common among workforces in different working places. This phenomenon has been increasing day by day and now it has reached to an alarming proportion especially in health care centers. The nursing workforce has been greatly affected by such distresses in the health care centers, hospitals, long term care units and nursing homes. Numerous researches have been carried out to find the reasons behind these problems and Nursing Interventions for them.

The main reasons that have been responsible and short listed for stresses from theses researches are based on following situations:

• Disagreements with doctors and physicians
• Indifferent behavior of the Management and leadership/management style
• Conflicts with colleagues, peers and supervisors
• Discrimination
• Excessive Workload
• Inadequate knowledge and experience
• Emotional cost of caring
• Dealing with death and dying patients
• Dealing with patients and their families
• Lack of Rewards
• Shifts and family commitments
• Inter professional Conflict

These reasons are the main factors leading to insecurity, emotional up heal, stress and other behavioral problems, which has prompted many nursing personnel to leave their nursing jobs and look elsewhere for employment.

The research findings have targeted organizational Interventions as short and medium term distress and disengagement controlling measure. The other interventions include better support, understanding and their involvement in day today workings.

Reducing workload and flexible shifts allotments can also offer them relief from their emotional distress. To meet these ends proper staffing of the nurses, increasing administrative workforce for reducing paper work burdens among the nurses are other remedial measures to reduce stresses and retention of nursing workforce.

Improved leadership/management styles can minimize intra professional and inter professional conflict to a great extent. The effectiveness of this system lies with eradication of harassment and discrimination among employees. The formation of a committee comprising of management, administrative personnel, doctors and physicians, registered and senior nurses and other nursing staffs to look after these distressing problem will go long way in assuaging the stress and emotional problems of nurses of all level.

Lack of pay or reward is also creating dissatisfaction among the nurses leading to their frustrations. It is understandable factor that there is disparity of pay scale among nurses and people employed in different services. There remains the disparity, which must be corrected with proper salaries for the nurses.

These remedial measures can go long way in reducing the stress, distress, disengagement and emotional problems in nursing personnel.
