Psychiatric nurses experience a wide range of stressful events, evolving from the care of violent, aggressive patients, recurrent relapse and poor prognosis of mental disorders. The aim of the study was to assess workplace stress, coping strategies and levels of depression among psychiatric nurses. A descriptive correlation design was conducted on psychiatric nurses working in mental health settings. Data were collected from 70 nurses at a mental health hospital.
