Tools of the study: Two tools were used to conduct this study; tool I: occupational stress questionnaire which was used to assess stress level, tool II: observation checklist which was used to assess occupational stressors Results: The study revealed that, above half of the studied group (56.1%) was high occupational stress level in preprogram, with stress slightly decrease in the post immediate program (52.6%) and high decreased (12.3%) in the follow-up, with significant difference between pre/ post and follow up phases of program implementation (p<0.0001). The total mean score for occupational stressors among studied sample was high in administrative stressors (35.532±6.8430) and was also high in organization stressors (27.035±5.0339). While, lowest was in social stressors (8.906±2.1808). Conclusion: There was statistically significant improvement in teaching staff occupational stress level before and after the implemented program Recommendation: providing occupation stress management program periodically to improving personal coping mechanism and institute work/life balance strategies.
