Summary

The present study is designed to focus on examining the effectiveness of the stress management program on occupational stress and coping strategies among public health centers nurses in Jordan.

the Specific Objectives that will guide this study are as follow:

1. To assess the level of occupational stress among Jordanian public health nurses who work in comprehensive health care centers.
2. To find out the association between nurses' occupational stress scores and their selected demographic variables.
3. To identify the sources of occupational stress encountered among public health centers nurses in the work setting.
4. To identify the types of coping strategies utilized by Jordanian nurses working in comprehensive health care centers.
5. To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on occupational stress mean score among experimental and control groups at baseline, post-test and at two months' follow-up assessment.
6. To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on coping strategies mean score among experimental and control groups at baseline, post-test and at two months' follow-up assessment.

This experimental study will examine differential changes in two dependent variables: occupational stress and coping strategies of public health nurses after participation in experiment. Experimental Group will participate in a stress management program and control group will not receive any intervention. The null hypotheses that guide this study are:

1. Null hypothesis (H0\_1): There is no significant difference in occupational stress mean score between experimental and control groups at baseline, post-intervention and at two months' follow-up assessment. (µ1 = µ2).
2. Null hypothesis (H0\_2): There is no significant difference in coping strategies mean score between experimental and control groups at baseline, post-intervention and at two months' follow-up assessment. (µ1 = µ2).
