Role of Workplace Spirituality as a Moderator in Occupational Stress and Job Performance; Occupational Stress and Health relationship among Indian Nursing Staff

Today, organisations are working towards global competition and as a resultant ample amount of undue stress are conceded to the employees due to known and unknown reasons. Essentially, healthcare system is not an exception to such dictum. As the front line of healthcare providers, nurses have the most frequent interactions with patients. The value of services that major healthcare organizations and hospitals hope to deliver to patients is transmitted through their nurses' attitudes and behaviours. Workplace spirituality often involves one's ultimate purpose in life, bonding to co-workers and other people associated with work, and to align one's core beliefs with the values of their organization for a successful career. Nurses spend more time with patients, which require them to be empathetic and compassionate. Their involvement with patients leads nurses to have more opportunities to provide spiritual care and to cultivate emotional relationships during patients' recovery. Indeed, there is a close relationship between the nature of spirituality and healthcare professions, particularly among nurses.
