Abstract
Operating room nurses play a vital role in the surgical process; however, the high-stress environment they work in can result in significant occupational stress. This stress not only impacts nurses' work efficiency but also affects their job satisfaction. This study examines the relationship between occupational stress, intellectual efficiency, and job satisfaction among operating room nurses. Drawing upon Occupational Stress Theory, as well as theories on intellectual efficiency and job satisfaction, this study proposes hypotheses and conducts a cross-sectional study on approximately 300 operating room nurses. Results indicate a negative correlation between occupational stress and intellectual efficiency, highlighting how higher stress levels can hinder cognitive function. Similarly, a negative correlation between occupational stress and job satisfaction is observed, highlighting the potential negative impact on nurses' work experience. The study also reveals that intellectual efficiency partially mediates the relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction. These findings underscore the need for interventions and support mechanisms to manage stress and enhance the well-being and job satisfaction of nurses. Future research can further explore the factors that affect occupational stress and evaluate intervention strategies to enhance nurses' overall work environment and mental health.
