The three stress hormones released by adrenal gland are Epinephrine,DHEA,and Cortisol. The amount of Cortisol released increases under stress . IgA is secreted is dependent on the psychological status. That it is proportional to the stress index and is positively associated with the concentration of Norepinephrine while the activity of Alpha-amylase is increasing, Cortisol, IgA, and Alpha-amylase are measurable biomarkers and can be as an instrument of stress measuring. The purposes of this study were to measure biomarkers and assess the relationship of worker’s pressure in entry level nurses based on questionnaire survey and measurement of biomarkers survey and measurement of biomarkers . The results of this study show that the mean score of work load is above three, which might be the major source of the stress.And there are no differences among other subscores. There are a significantly positive association between concentration of Alpha-amylase and the stress scale and a significantly negative association between concentration of IgA and the scale. However, there is no significant association between concentration of Cortisol and the subscales. The application of assessing physiological indicators of self- evaluation and measured pressure on the scale of the work of the results, we can compare nursing staffs in a state of stress, physiological changes in the scale and the pressure associated with the outcome.
