Workplace stress is considered a professional kind of stress and is illustrated by a series of physical symptoms known as work-burning syndrome. METHODS AND EXAMINERS: In research there were 80 nurses and technicians of the General Hospital of Gospić included, who fulfilled the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and Stress Questionnaire at the workplace of hospital healthcare workers. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the level of stress of nurses and technicians in the workplace and compare them with the results of previous research and examine differences in the level of stress in terms of age, gender, level of education, type of department, years of work experience and workplace. RESULTS: Subjects under the age of 40 experience statistically significantly more total stress (t = 2.07; p = 0.042). Also, respondents with less than 10 years of work experience experience statistically significant total stress levels (F = 3.53, p = 0.034). Given the department in which the respondents work, they differ significantly in the level of stress only in the domain of dangers and hazards at work (F = 2.6, P =, 033). In terms of workplace, respondents differ significantly in overall stress (F = 3.02; p = 0.045) and in the domain of public criticism and lawsuits (F = 4.28, p = 0.017), dangers and hazards at work ( F = 7.42, p = 0.001) and shift work (F = 9.66, P = 0.000) We can conclude that stress is present in the daily work of nurses and technicians.
