Abstract: A cross-sectional study was performed on 422 nursing and midwifery personnel of Zahedan training hospitals in 2016 to determine the occupational stress and its related factors. Data were collected by a demographic questionnaire and HSE Job Stress Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. The software used to analyze the data was SPSS 17. The findings showed that the mean ± standard deviation occupational stress was 114.45 ± 16.16. 4% of subjects had moderate stress, 79.6% had normal stress and 16.4% had no stress. There was no significant relationship between age, gender, education, work experience, job position, ward and employment status with occupational stress, but there was a significant relationship between marital status and occupational stress. Based on the results of this study, the occupational stress level in nursing and midwifery personnel working in educational hospitals in Zahedan was relatively favorable and only a small percentage of people suffered from moderate stress.
