However, both groups report relatively high levels of stress. Nurses working very remotely demonstrated higher levels of work engagement and job satisfaction. There are common job demands and resources associated with outcome measures for both nurses working very remotely and nurses working in major hospitals.<br \/>\nConclusion: This research has implications for workplace interventions and the retention of staff in both hospitals and remote area health care facilities.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Tessa Opie<\/li>\n<li>Sue Lenthall<\/li>\n<li>John Walkerman<\/li>\n<li>Maureen Dollard<\/li>\n<li>Martha MacLeod<\/li>\n<li>Sabina Knight<\/li>\n<li>Greg Rickard<\/li>\n<li>Sandra Dunn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>hospital-based nursing, remote area nursing, occupational stress, job demands-resources model, psychological distress, emotional exhaustion, work engagment, job satisfaction<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Occupational stress in the Australian nursing workforce: a comparison between hospital\u2011based nurses and nurses&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4006,4802,4804,806,4803,2480,4041,4805],"class_list":["post-7554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-emotional-exhaustion","tag-hospital-based-nursing","tag-job-demands-resources-model","tag-job-satisfaction","tag-occupational-stress","tag-psychological-distress","tag-remote-area-nursing","tag-work-engagment","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
