Subject(s): Abstract: This is a descriptive study, which aims to determine the stress response of regular employees of San Pedro Hospital. Two part survey questionnaires were distributed among 253 respondents from November 1-30, 2004. Demographic data which include the name, age, sex, status, department service assignment, position, night shift duty and length of service. The second part was the Personal Stress Scale 25 item questionnaire which was based on key areas of life like relationships, work, attitude and physical symptoms. Stress scale from 25-100 was interpreted as without stress and scale from 101-250 was interpreted as with stress. The demographic profile of the respondents showed that 39.9% belonged to the age group of 20-30 years old, 75.1% were females and 38.3% were single. The department service assignment of the study participants showed that 62.5% were direct care employees. In terms of position of the work of study participants, the staff level has more personnel which is composed of 87.0%, 66.4% claimed to have a night shift duty and 45.5% of the study participants claimed to have stayed with the institution for about 0-5 years. The Personal Stress Scale of study participants was observed that 51.4% have a very good job in managing stress. Of all the factors included in the study, only the sex and position showed a significant relationship to the stress coping management (p-value <0.05). About a third (33.3%) of the study participants with the presence of stress were males and males were 2.38 times more likely to have stress than females. This relationship was found to be significant (p-value = 0.00747750). About a quarter (23.6%) with stress were staff members of the institution and they were 4.78 times more likely to have stress as compared to those who belonged to the managerial level. Again, the relationship was significant (p-value = 0.02183124). This study hoped to provide baseline data in managing work related stress among regular employees of San Pedro Hospital and put to good use in formulating a hospital workplace stress reduction program in the future.
