making among teaching staff members. Research design: A quasi-
experimental design was utilized in this study. Setting: the study was
conducted in the faculty of nursing at Suez Canal University. Subject: all
teaching staff members working in 6 different scientific departments in the
previous study setting. Tools of the study: Three tools were used to conduct
this study; tool (I): occupational stress questionnaire which was used to assess
stress level, tool (II): observation checklist which was used to assess
occupational stressors and tool (III): decision making scale to assess decision
making steps; data was collected from beginning July 2017 December 2018.
Results: The study revealed that about half of the studied group had high stress
level in preprogram with a slight decrease in post immediate and a high
decrease in follow-up (12.3%). About two third of the studied group had made
decision steps preprogram with slightly increased in post program, and
followed by high increased (91.3%) in follow-up. conclusion: There was
statistically significant improvement in teaching staff occupational stress level,
with significant improvement in decision making before and after the
implemented program, There was statistically significant relation between
effect of occupational stress on decision making among teaching staff members
(P value=.004) Recommendation: Providing periodic training in effective
