Abstract

Lipid peroxidation is the oxidative degradation of lipids in which free radicals remove electrons from the lipids in cell membranes, resulting in cellular damage, which may increase risk for DNA mutations and carcinogenesis [25]. The aim of our present study was to determine whether psychosocial job stress exists among ED nurses in the US, and further investigate any relationship between psychosocial job stress and demographic factors, work conditions, and oxidative stress in this workforce. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study which evaluated the relationship between psychosocial job stress and oxidative stress/lipid peroxidation in an ED nurse workforce in a US non-profit hospital. 2. After the survey, spot urine samples were collected in sterile tubes from the participants, centrifuged at high speed to remove any cell debris and insoluble particles (10,000× g for 5 min), and supernatants were immediately aliquoted into multiple tubes and stored in −80 °C for future analysis. 2.2.
