(BMC, 2025) Korkmaz, Zafer; Cicek, Ilhan; Unsal, Firat; Sanli, Mehmet Emin
Nurses often face high levels of occupational stress due to demanding workloads, emotional challenges, and the significant responsibilities associated with patient care. This stress negatively impacts their life satisfaction, yet the potential protective role of spirituality in mitigating these effects remains insufficiently explored.ObjectiveThe present study aims to investigate the mediating role of spirituality in the relationship between occupational stress and life satisfaction among nurses.MethodData were collected from 502 nurses (291 females, 58%; 211 males, 42%), aged between 21 and 63 years, working in various hospitals across Turkey. Participants completed the Perceived Occupational Stress Scale, the Spirituality Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 and the PROCESS macro (Model 4).ResultsCorrelation analyses revealed a negative and significant relationship between occupational stress and spirituality and life satisfaction, while a positive and significant relationship was found between spirituality and life satisfaction. Mediation analysis indicated that occupational stress negatively predicted both life satisfaction and spirituality, explaining 3% of the variance in life satisfaction. However, spirituality positively predicted life satisfaction and significantly mediated the relationship between occupational stress and life satisfaction.ConclusionSpirituality emerges as a crucial resource in mitigating the negative effects of occupational stress on nurses' life satisfaction. Hospital-based programs that promote spiritual well-being, such as positive psychotherapy, mindfulness training, and spiritual counseling, can enhance nurses' stress-coping skills and improve their life satisfaction. Moreover, it is essential for psychiatric nurses to actively support nurses in coping with the intense work stress they experience.

Purpose: This study investigates the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between cyberbullying and depression, anxiety, and stress. Method: Data were collected from 591 adolescents (51.6% boys; M-age = 15.77 +/- 1.12) using a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Cyberbullying Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Finding Bivariate correlations revealed a moderate positive association between cyberbullying, anxiety, and stress. Structural equation modeling indicated that higher levels of cyberbullying were significantly associated with increased anxiety and stress but not with depression. Resilience was found to partially mediate the relationship between cyberbullying and stress but did not mediate the relationships between cyberbullying and either depression or anxiety. Conclusion: These findings highlight that cyberbullying is a strong predictor of anxiety and stress, with resilience playing a key role in mitigating stress levels. Interventions focused on building resilience may offer an effective strategy for reducing stress among adolescents experiencing cyberbullying.
