The measurement of stressful event frequencies among different long‐stay settings within a hospital for the elderly showed that staff with higher‐ranking roles, regardless of their training, experienced certain stressful events more frequently than other staff members. Stressful event frequencies for a unit with only untrained care staff did not differ from frequencies for wards of trained nurses.
