AB  - BACKGROUND: Nursing adverse events (AEs) are well-defined problems in the 
      healthcare system and may have irreparable consequences. Due to the complexity of 
      care, many factors contribute to AEs and affect patient safety, one of which is 
      occupational stress. The present study aimed to determine the relationship 
      between nursing AEs and occupational stress in nurses in centers affiliated to 
      Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, in 2015. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: In this descriptive correlational study, the participants were selected 
      through random and quota sampling methods. The data collection tool was a 
      three-part questionnaires consisting of a demographic characteristics form, the 
      Nurses' Job Stress Questionnaire, and Nursing Adverse Events Questionnaire. 
      Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to analyze the data in 
      Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. RESULTS: Among the four 
      factors affecting occupational stress in nurses, administrative factors had the 
      highest impact; subsequently followed, by environmental factors and interpersonal 
      factors. The mean score of AEs was reported as 30 cases per year. There was a 
      significant correlation between the overall mean score of occupational stress and 
      AEs (r = 0.12, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: According to the results of this study, 
      moderate to high levels of job stress were observed among nurses. The results 
      also showed that occupational stress can lead to nursing AEs. Given that nurses 
      believe the highest mean of occupational stressors is related to administrative 
      factors, an appropriate and comprehensive leadership is necessary to improve the 
      current conditions.
