    Journal: Confed Aust Crit Care Nurses J; 1991 Sep; 4(3):18-21. PubMed ID: 1912648.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes research designed to explore the relationship between perceived staff stress and continuing education needs for varying categories of registered nurses. A self rating instrument was used, a pilot study conducted and then data collected from registered nurses (n = 49) working in a general ICU. The data was analysed and compared in relation to perceived practice level, critical care nursing qualifications and time worked in ICU. The results demonstrated differences between those staff with critical care certificates and those without in relation to contributing factors to unpleasant stress, focus of continuing education sessions and involvement in continuing education.
