Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the differences in psychological stress and self-esteem between working women in education (teachers) and working women in healthcare (nurses). Additionally, it sought to understand the relationship between psychological stress and self-esteem among working women. A questionnaire was developed by the researchers to measure psychological stress, alongside a self-esteem questionnaire prepared by Abdel Raouf Ahmed Suleiman Talal in 2009. The sample size consisted of 78 teachers and 52 nurses. After verifying the scientific foundations of the research tools and conducting appropriate statistical analyses, significant statistical differences were found between working women in education (teachers) and those in healthcare (nurses) in terms of psychological stress, favoring the working women in education (teachers). Furthermore, significant statistical differences were also identified in self-esteem, favoring the working women in healthcare (nurses). Additionally, a statistically significant inverse correlation was found between psychological stress and self-esteem among working women in both education (teachers) and healthcare (nurses).
