This study examines the stress and work performance of nurses in General Hospital, Ikot Ekpene. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between inadequate hospital equipment and work performance of nurses, to assess the relationship between nurse-patient ratio and work performance of nurses, and to assess the relationship between family variables and work performance of nurses in General Hospital Ikot Ekpene. All nurses from the units making a total of 146 respondents were used. The result was tested using person-product moment correlation. The findings reveal that inadequate work equipment contributes to heavy workload for nurses, thereby investing stress leading to an increased risk of spreading infections to patients and staff. Moreover the reduction in manpower affects nurses’ performance and it was also observed that nurses struggling with personal matters of family challenges decrease work performance. Based on these findings, recommendations were made for providing quality medical equipment to the hospital by the government, recruitment of more nurses to reduce work load and ensuring quality nursing care and nurses balancing up family responsibilities by appropriate planning, programming and scheduling of family task to meet up with work responsibilities which reduce stress.
