Abstract
An instrument was developed to assess the levels and sources of stress experienced by health professionals. Based on a review of the literature, the Health Professions Stress Inventory was constructed and administered via a mail questionnaire to a large group of practicing physicians, pharmacists, and nurses. Data analyses indicated that the inventory possessed suitable internal consistency, as measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Scores also were correlated significantly with scores on Lyons' tension index. The inventory shows internal consistency and concurrent validity. It should be useful in assessing the relative stress perceived in health professions.
