Occupational stress in remote area nursing: development of the Remote Area Nursing Stress Scale (RANSS).

CONCLUSION: The development and validation of the RANSS is a significant advancement in remote area nursing research. The RANSS should be administered on an ongoing basis to monitor occupational stress among nurses working in very remote Australia. The RANSS should also be administered internationally in countries that also accommodate remote health care facilities. This would determine whether the RANSS is a psychometrically valid stress measure beyond the context of very remote Australia. PMID: 24053055 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
