			<abstract>
				<p>Stress is a part of our life. Stress can also create positive and negative influence in our daily lives. As a positive influence stress is a motivating force towards progress and it can create new awareness and exciting new perspective. As a negative influence it creates feeling of distress, rejection, depression, which leads to variety of physical and psychological problems. Many types of disease (psychosomatic illnesses) have been linked with stress including high blood pressure, heart attack, heart disease, peptic ulcer, headache, pain in the neck, asthma, cancer, depression etc. Nurses are responsible for creating the environment in which nursing is practiced and patient care is given, it is important to explore interventions that will reduce the stress and burnout experienced by nurses. By reducing the stressful nature of the nurses’ work, nurse could be more satisfied in their positions. </p>
