Aims: To assess and compare stress levels of nurse managers before and during the pandemic, and to identify predictive factors. Method: Cross-sectional studies were carried out in two moments, before and during pandemic. 102 manager nurses were recruited before the sanitary crisis (2018) and 87 during the health crisis (2020). Perceived stress was measured with the Perceived Stress Scale-14 and quality of professional life, job demands, motivation and managerial support were assessed with the Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire. Socio-demographic and job-related variables were also analysed. Statistical analysis was performed using student's t-test, correlations and multiple regression analysis. Results: The majority of nurse managers were women, married, who worked the morning shift. 78.2% managed nursing personnel who worked with COVID patients. They suffered a significant increase in both job demands and perceived stress level in the pandemic. Job demands, working in shifts morning, being young and being unmotivated were predictors of perceived stress level according to multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion: Perceived stress was greatest during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both, before and during the pandemic, job demands are central predictors of nurse managers’ general perceived stress. It is necessary to adapt the workplace to personal characteristics of the nurse manager and increase actions to enhance their motivation and reduce their job demands to prevent stress. 000128149 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000128149 590__ $$a3.4$$b2023 000128149 592__ $$a0.617$$b2023 000128149 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b28 / 134 = 0.209$$c2023$$dQ1$$eT1 000128149 593__ $$aMultidisciplinary$$c2023$$dQ1 000128149 594__ $$a4.5$$b2023 000128149 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000128149 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3124-6719$$aLópez-Ibort, Nieves$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000128149 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7994-923X$$aGil-Lacruz, Ana Isabel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000128149 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0335-0404$$aGascón-Catalán, Ana$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000128149 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
