Differential aspects of chronic work-related stress predict depression in registered and geriatric nurses.

Chronic work stress is a problem which persists among nurses for several reasons and studies suggest that both levels of stress and depression remain on an ongoing high level. However, not much is known about the impact of differential aspects of chronic work-related stress on levels of depression when investigating geriatric and registered nurses. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between various aspects of chronic work stress and levels of depression in geriatric and registered nurses.
