Correlation between the professional stress of nursing teachers and the quality of the teaching process

Introduction: Nursing teachers face various stressors in their work environment on a daily basis. Without effective confrontation, stressors can cause serious psychophysical reactions and consequences, and ultimately reduce the quality of the education process. We are posing the following research question: Is there a correlation between the professional stress of nursing teachers and the quality of the teaching process? Methods: A systematic search of literature was performed by using relevant databases (e.g. EBSCO, Science direct) and relevant web pages of nurses’ organisations. The literature published between 2005 and 2017 was taken into consideration. Results: The search of literature review indicates that strengthening methods of facing nursing teachers with stress and generally the level of job satisfaction are strongly correlated with the quality of the teaching process, while the level of professional stress and the quality of the teaching process are clearly negatively correlated. Discussion: The professional stress of nursing teachers reduces job satisfaction and contributes to professional combustion. Harmful consequences of stress can be prevented by recognizing combustion phenomenon and applying renewable coping strategies, which ultimately can contribute to the creation of a healthy working environment and improve the quality of the teaching process.
