Results: The empirical data collected were analysed and grouped into four categories to address the research question, including the stress-inducing factors in work and home environments and the adequate support in coping with stress.Discussion and conclusions: The nursing employees in psychiatric field often fall victims to work-related stress. Different pathologies of patients appear to be among the most significant work-related stress risk factor, along with the working conditions and interpersonal relationships among employees.
