Backgrounds: Nursing, is one the stressful professions. The stressful factors in this job have affected nurses in a serious way. The purpose of the present study was to identify causes of job stress in nurses working in emergency wards. Methods: In this analytical study, 84 female nurses of emergency wards were selected by stratified sampling, and female clerks of hospitals by quota sampling (42 individuals in each group). The data collection tool was the Persian short version of generic job stress questionnaire of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). After collecting information, data were analyzed using Student__AWT_QUOTE__s t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation tests. For all tests, P = 0.05 was considered as the level of significance. Findings: The mean score of job stress was 97.30 ± 9.29 and 91.85 ± 10.91 in nurses and clerks, respectively (P = 0.01). The results show a significant difference between the two groups with regard to the scores obtained for workload (P = 0.005), role control (P = 0.02), and social support (P = 0.004). Conclusion: Nurses working in emergency wards are exposed to more stressing factors. Moreover, work load, role control, and social support are of great importance in determination of job stress in nurses working in emergency wards.
