Objective To explore the psychological pressure in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses and the sources of their pressure. Method We investigated the ICU nurses in West China Hospital with a self-designed psychological pressure questionnaire from March to September 2013. Results The total stress level of ICU nurses was 2.89±0.86. The top five sources were low salaries and welfare benefits (3.37±0.61), high frequency of night work (3.31±0.88), wide need of knowledge (3.22±0.41), heavy workload (3.20±0.80) and chronic fatigue syndrome (3.19±0.75). Conclusions Great psychological pressure exists in ICU nurses. We urgently need effective approaches to relieve the stress of ICU nurses in order to improve the efficiency and quality of nursing service.
