The primary contributors to stress among nurses have been identified as institutional management, heavy workloads, and em-ployment stress. Therefore, in this scenario, it is important to discover the stress coping strate-gies of nurses to maintain a sustainable healthcare system.

There are two main categories identified in coping stress among intensive care nurses: institu-tional implementations and self-coping strategies.
