This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to perform a quantitative occupational stress risk assessment (OSRA) to evaluate the impact of health promotion (HP) lifestyle and perceived nature contact on the consequences of perceived stress from exposure to nursing stress risk factors. Perceived stress is defined as the employee’s personal interpretation of his or her work circumstance and any discrepancy between workplace demands (stressors) and individual capacities (resources). Registered nurses (RNs) in patient care settings are prone to high levels of perceived stress, which can cause errors in clinical care giving. High perceived stress is a consequence of risk factors from a nurse’s daily work routine including: workload, death and dying, inadequate preparation for role, staff support, uncertainty concerning treatment, communication with physicians, and communication with other nurses. Mitigating perceived stress improves nursing job performance, job satisfaction, and overall employee health, while reducing mental fatigue, absenteeism, and burnout. Methods performed included: Aim 1) a systematic literature and meta-analysis to establish benchmarks for perceived stress in nursing professionals for comparison of United States (US) and International healthcare settings; Aim 2) a cross-sectional study using a 125-item survey instrument administered online to an RN study population to evaluate relationships between perceived stress, HP lifestyle, and perceived nature contact; and Aim 3) a quantitative OSRA to rank nursing stress risk factors and examine differences by gender, ethnicity, and race. Results were: Aim 1) Perceived Stress Scale 14-item (PSS14) value for International nursing studies was 25.41 (95% CI 21.1 to 29.7), while US PSS14 nursing studies yielded a value of 23.8 (95% CI 19.8 to 27.7). Aim 2) the present study found Southern California RNs (n=161) had the same perceived stress (m = 22.8, 7.06 SD, p=0.082) as other US nursing professionals. RN perceived stress scores were negatively correlated (p

Download or read book Measuring Depression Anxiety and Stress in Nursing Students Using the DASS 21 Scale written by Morgan Snow and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing school students were predicted to have high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress due to academic and career pressures. Academic literature research showed that the DASS-21 was a reliable tool to measure depression, anxiety, and stress in nursing students and registered nurses. Before the assessment, a pilot study with two volunteers was completed; their responses are not included in the final data set. A sample of 50 nursing students from the Fall 2019 University of West Florida Bachelor of Science in Nursing program volunteered to take the DASS-21 using a secure online survey tool, Qualtrics. Depression levels were the lowest of the three domains. The average scores for depression, anxiety, and stress were 4.84 out of 14, 7.96 out of 10, and 9.08 out of 17 respectively.
Download or read book Exploring the Relationships Among Bio Psycho Social Measures of Stress A Multifactorial Approach Towards the Evaluation and Reduction of Stress written by Raoul C. Goldberg and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sustained stress response is well documented as an added risk factor for disease progression in many chronic diseases, as well as in acute life-threatening conditions. Stress reduction is therefore desirable in diagnostic and therapeutic management, and valid stress measures are a prerequisite to such management. Since no such easy-to-use stress measurement tools currently exist, this retrospective study of archival data, gathered from 204 participants in a general medical practice using bio-psycho-social measures of stress, explored the bases for developing a comprehensive stress-assessment battery (SAB) as a means of improving accuracy for determining the level of stress in patients and clients in medical, psychological and research settings, as well as for monitoring stress-reducing therapeutic interventions. Using correlational study and factor analytic methods, this study investigated the validity of various stress measures, including: (a) 4 easy-to-measure stress biomarkers (SB), salivary cortisol (sC), salivary amylase (sAA), heart rate variability (HRV), and electrodermal skin activity (EDA); (b) 2 self-report stress measures (SR), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Psychological Stress Measure (PSM-9), (c) an expert rating scale (ER), the Basic Documentation for Psycho-Oncology (PO-Bado), and (d) a qualitative interview (QI) with interviewer-rating scales to measure stress levels. It explored the concept of stress, its dimensionality as well as the viability of developing this SAB as a single-index measurement, combining these 8 measures and indicators. While the psycho-sociometric stress tests were highly intercorrelated with stress, the 4 biomarkers showed a lack of correlation between each other and between the psycho-sociometric tests. The biomarkers did not therefore add value to a SAB in this study using a random selection of participants, and focus was given to understanding the reasons for this, and optimizing the psycho-sociometric stress tests as the most effective means of measuring stress accurately. A novel stress model was presented to help elucidate these findings and to provide the theoretical framework for an expanded psycho-social measurement scale. This study could provide research and health services with a broader understanding of stress and its measurement, and may lay the groundwork for constructing an improved scientific tool for measuring and monitoring stress responses.

This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
