Abstract: Objective To explore and analyze the correlation between job stress and job satisfaction among nurses in different positions at military hospital. Methods 192 nurses from different positions of military hospital were divided into three groups and investigated by the job stressor scale and job satisfaction questionnaire. Results The total scores of job stress and job satisfaction were (2.60 ± 0.21) and (3.22 ±0.38) respectively, and both of them were of moderate level. The pressure from nursing specialty was the major source of job stressor. The contract nurses tended to have more pressure and less satisfaction than the others. There was negative correlation between job pressure and job satisfaction. Significant differences existed in three groups in aspects of career development, wage and allowance, and management and policy. Conclusions Taking the effective measures to relieve the working pressure, improve the job satisfaction and keep the job stability is important to enhance the quality of nursing service.
