Results: (1) Length of past clinical nursing experience, and self-perceived compatibility with current position was found to be significantly correlated with work-related stress. (2) Personality traits and work-related stress were significantly and negatively correlated. (3) "Length of past clinical nursing experience," "self-perceived compatibility with the current position," "emotional stability," and "conscientiousness" were able to predict work-related stress with an explanatory power of 46%.
