AB  - OBJECTIVES: To clarify the association between job stress and the number of 
      physical symptoms among newly certified female nurses. METHODS: In this 
      cross-sectional self-administered survey, we investigated 313 female nurses 
      working at three medical-university-affiliated hospitals in February 2016. We 
      investigated working conditions including numbers of working and on-call hours, 
      work-life balance, Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) scores, and 16 physical 
      symptoms perceived more often than once a week. RESULTS: Among the 313 
      participants (mean age, 31.9), 57% were aged 21-29 years and 70% were single. Of 
      the 16 physical symptoms investigated, fatigability was the most frequent 
      complaint (66.1%), followed by lower back pain (44.7%). Univariate analysis 
      showed that significant factors related to physical symptoms are job demands 
      (p<0.001) and social support (p<0.001) in JCQ, binary index of supports 
      (p<0.001), and total working hours per day (p =0.025). Multivariable-adjusted 
      logistic regression analyses demonstrated that the likelihood of reporting a 
      greater number (n>/=3) of physical symptoms increased by 7% [95% confidence 
      interval (CI), 2-13%] with a one-unit increase in job demand degree, and 
      decreased by 16% (95% CI, 10-22%) in social support degree. When binary JCQ 
      indexes were assessed, the high-support group [odds ratio (OR) 0.36; 95% CI, 
      0.23-0.59] was protectively associated with a greater number of physical symptoms 
      while long working hours was significantly associated with a higher risk (OR 18%, 
      95% CI, 1-38%). CONCLUSIONS: Reporting a greater number of physical symptoms may 
      be a good indicator of job stress perceived by a nurse in a university hospital 
      setting.
