After intervention, the mean of job stress decreased in case group (p &le 0.05) so, before intervention mean of job stress was (44/91± 11/22), and after intervention was (40/43 ± 9/06). ANOVA test in control group showed that mean job stress before, after and one month after intervention no changed (p = 0.67). But this repeated measurement test in case group showed that the mean of job stress were decreased significantly (p = 0.02).
