Data analysis included univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test and Fisher Exact test. Results: The univariate analysis showed that 35 respondents (85.4%) experienced severe stress. The bivariate analysis using the Fisher Exact test indicated that age was not significantly related to work stress (p-value = 0.567), gender was not significantly related to work stress (p-value = 0.651), income was significantly related to work stress (p-value = 0.017), workload was not significantly related to work stress (p-value = 0.567), and security conditions were not significantly related to work stress (p-value = 0.143). Conclusion: The occurrence of work stress among healthcare workers at Bilogai Health Center is caused by income factors, while age, gender, workload, and security conditions are not contributing factors to stress.
