%X Introduction: There is a lack of clarity in the job descriptions of health workers and the resulting excessive workload and uncertainty about tasks can lead to stress. The stress of living in this situation is ignored, neglected and if significant measures are not taken in time it can cause negative situations, especially workaholism. Workaholism can be a positive or negative phenomenon. Some have argued that workaholism is associated with a high level of stress; changes in behaviour, broken relationships with colleagues, tardiness, prolonged complaints, and decreasing of performance are indications of excessive work-related stress The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between workaholism of health workers and work-related stress, and the associated stress significantly differed for the demographic variables. Method: This study was carried out on 150 health workers at £¿isli Hamidiye Etfal Research and Training Public Hospital at University of Health Sciences, £¿stanbul-Turkey. The research data were collected between 01 and 30 April 2016 by means of a survey prepared by the researchers, and validated tests of stress (DASS) and Workaholism. T tests were used to assess stress and workaholism differences related to gender, age, marital status and occupational status. Results: It was concluded from the analyis that there was a meaningful relationship between the levels of workaholism and stress. There is a positive relationship between the level of stress and workaholism. Statistically significant differences were found between male and female groups in terms of stress levels (p <0.05). Workaholism was found to differ by occupational status. Discussion: Consideration should be given to the working conditions of hospital health care workers, providing the most suitable working conditions and support to help them cope with their workaholism and stress
