Abstract
A sample of 173 female nurses was studied to assess the amount of stress they experienced whilst at work. Psychological symptoms were found to be commoner in younger, less experienced nurses spending more time with patients. Suggestions are made to reduce distress in vulnerable nurses.Keywords
