Abstract

The present investigation was oriented to determine the causality of work stress in the nurses of the Ecuadorian Cancer Institute Solca. Regarding the methodology, the study was developed under a quantitative approach with a population of 32 nurses to whom the OIT–OMS Occupational Stress Questionnaire was applied, which evaluates 7 stress factors: a) group support, b) lack of cohesion, c) influence of the leader, d) organizational territory, e) technology, f) organizational structure and, g) organizational climate. The findings show that the sample presents low levels of work stress and whose causes are attributed mainly to the lack of cohesion, group support and the organizational climate.
