Abstract: Workplace stress is a harmful reaction that people have when they are under a lot of pressure and have a lot work to do. Night shifts, multiple role conflicts, a lack of social support, conflict between work and family, diverse task demands that are not in accordance with compensation, excessive workload, unpleasant working conditions, job uncertainty, the absence of awards, excessive promotions or under-promotions, and an imbalance in the number of nurses to the number of patients are all factors that can cause work stress for nurses. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between nurse qualities and mental workload and work stress. This is a descriptive analytic study that uses a cross-sectional strategy. A convenience sample of 126 nurses was used to create the research sample. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) Questionnaire and the Work Stress Questionnaire (WSQ) instrument were used to collect data. Chi Square was utilized to analyze the data. The statistical test results revealed a link between nurse work stress, income (p = 0.015) and mental workload (p = 0.001). To decrease stress, this study proposes striking a balance between demands and restricted abilities to offer nursing care
