Sammanfattning
The aim was to identify sources of stress, job satisfaction, perceived demands, control and health among district nurses in Zagreb (Croatia) and Stockholm working in a polyvalent health care organization. Data were obtained regarding altogether 305 district nurses by means of self-administered questionnaires. Organizational sources of stress were of importance for the district nurses in Stockholm. They reported also more job satisfaction and commitment than the district nurses in Zagreb. The district nurses in Zagreb had higher level of "lack of resources". They displayed higher scores of psychological demands but also a greater feeling of control than the district nurses in Stockholm. Thus results show that differences in work organization and in essential resources have a substantial impact of perceived stress and job satisfaction.
