Tools of data collection: Two tools were used: I) The Workplace Support Scale II) Nurse Role Strain Scale. Results: Showed that about two fifths (39.1%) of studied staff nurses had high level of workplace support. less than half (46.4%) of staff nurses had high level of role strain. Conclusion: There was highly statistical significant negative correlation between total work place support and total staff nurse’s role strain among studied staff nurses.
