Introduction: Occupational stress has been closely linked with healthcare professionals, including
Nurses. The strenuous workload in the profession not only impacts the care of the patients but also
hampers their own physical and Mental health. Thus, this study aimed to study the stressors of the work
environment and their impact on their overall health. Methods: An Institutional Based Cross-Sectional
Study was conducted among all the nursing staff working in a tertiary hospital in Gurugram. A predesigned
and pre-tested questionnaire covering their details, socio-demographic details, perception
towards the work environment and impact of the job on their psycho-social health was made. The stress
level was measured by the Professional Life Stress scale given by David Fontana, The British
Psychological Society and Routledge. Ltd, Leicester, England,1989. Data analysis was done in
Microsoft Excel Sheet and Epi-info. Results: In this study, on the stress scale, 47.14% reported
moderate stress, 38.57% mentioned that stress was a problem, and 10% reported stress as a major
problem in their lives. Stress was not a problem among 4.28% of the Nursing Staff only. Among the
socio-demographic variables, married nursing staff and the increasing stress score were found to be
significant.(p<0.05) Conclusion: Stress was a crucial issue among 47.14 % of the nursing staff. 54.29%
of people wanted more from their work environment. Thus, the stress induced due to work culture
should be taken care of so that they can be physically and mentally efficient at work
