The nursing research article I found in the databases was a study of the effects of emotional labor and job stress on depression among nurses. Since it’s been a common trend recently in the nursing world. The article addressed all 8 steps of the research process, clearly explained, and presented all the data. The introduction of the study talked about nurses who have increasing stress and high emotional labor have been shown in high rates of depression.

They also explained the purpose of the study. The methods section is where the authors explained what tools they used for the study. The authors Jung and Baek explain this by using a cross-sectional structural equation modeling study (p. 562). The study established the parameters and topics addressed such as emotional labor, job stress, social support, and depression. The results of the study showed how much each factor affected depression rates in nurses. “Moreover, increased emotional labor was found to be associated with decreased resilience, while decreased resilience was associated with an increased level of depression” . The conclusion of the study talked about the importance of developing and applying programs that promote resilience to reduce the rate of depression in nurses.
