Download or read book Factors Related to Stress in Nursing Students written by Marie E. Shultz and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this review of literature was to explore and critically analyze relevant literature regarding stress factors and the consequences of stress in nursing students. Findings from this review of literature aimed to provide a better understanding of stress factors and the physical and psychological impact of stress on nursing students. Information was collected from the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE- EBSCOhost databases to explore what research has been conducted and to assess the current knowledge base. Analysis of the literature indicated that nursing students reported experiencing increased levels of stress during the academic year. Nursing students reported higher levels of stress in conjunction with elevated external stressors, including increased responsibilities and course requirements. Analysis of the findings suggested that factors related to stress in nursing students arose from clinical sources, academic sources, and personal sources. Further analysis indicated that experiencing elevated levels of stress had a negative impact on the student. Increased levels of stress, combined with poor coping mechanisms, may lead to poor academic performance and burn-out among nursing students. Future research may evaluate means to reduce stress levels and mitigate stress in nursing students through targeting specific causative factors. Findings from this review of literature aim to influence student management of stress.

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.

Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.
Download or read book Stress Moderating Factors and Coping Patterns Among Level IV Nursing Students Under the New B S Nursing Curriculum written by Beryl P. Battad and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commission on Higher Education through its CMO No. 14, Series of 2009 provided the new "Policies and Standards for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program". The program has a total of 202 units, composed of 87 units General Education Courses and 69 units Proffesional Courses with 46 units of Related Learning Experience (RLE). It also offers new professional and elective courses which further increased the total number of RLE hours. These bring about heavy academic workload among the students which demand them more time, effort and preparatio, thus leading to a stressful academic setting for them. The aim of this study is to assess the curriculum-associated stress and coping patterns among Level IV nursing students. Moreover, it aims to determine the relationships among the curriculum-associated stress, coping patterns and the moderating factors of stress. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design. A researcher-structured questionnaire was used to gather data among the 263 Level IV nursing students from a selected College of Nursing in Metro Manila. Data were analyzed through the use of mean, standard deviations, factor analysis and Pearson's correlational analysis. The LEvel IV nursing students are moderately stressed and are successful in utilizing their coping patterns as well as the use of the moderating factors of stress. Perception of stressors does not determine the use of adaptive coping patterns but it determines the use of the maladaptive coping patterns among the Level IV nursing students. Strength of support system determines the use of adaptive coping patterns among the Level IV nursing students. Availability of coping resources determines the use of both the adaptive and the maladaptive coping patterns among the Level IV nursing students.
Download or read book Moral Resilience written by Cynda H. Rushton and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suffering is an unavoidable reality in healthcare. Not only are patients and families suffering but also the clinicians who care for them. Commonly the suffering experienced by clinicians is moral in nature, in part a reflection of the increasing complexity of health care, their roles within it, and the expanding range of available interventions that challenge their moral foundations. Moral suffering is the anguish that arises occurs in response to moral adversity that challenges clinicians integrity: the inner harmony that arises when their essential values and commitments are aligned with their choices and actions. The sources and sequelae of moral distress, one type of moral suffering, have been documented among clinicians across specialties. Transforming their suffering will require solutions that expanded individual and system strategies. Moral resilience, the capacity of an individual to restore or sustain integrity in response to moral adversity, offers a path forward. It encompasses capacities aimed at developing self- regulation and self-awareness, buoyancy, moral efficacy, self-stewardship and ultimately personal and relational integrity. Whether it involves gradual or profound radical change clinicians have the potential to transform themselves and their clinical practice in ways that more authentically reflect their character, intentions and values. The burden of healing our healthcare system is not the sole responsibility of individuals. Clinicians and healthcare organizations must work together to transform moral suffering by cultivating the individual capacities for moral resilience and designing a new architecture to support ethical practice. Used worldwide for scalable and sustainable change, the Conscious Full Spectrum approach, offers a method to solve problems to support integrity, shift patterns that undermine moral resilience and ethical practice, and leverage the inner potential of clinicians and leaders to produce meaningful and sustainable results that benefit all.

Download or read book Factors Affecting Nursing Student s Perception of Stress and Reactions to Stress written by Donna Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the self-assessment of stressors, and the reaction to stress in the LPN nursing student. The study was comprised of 43 Licensed Practical Nurse students in the Nursing Department of the Allied Health Division of a community college in southeast United States. Data were collected using the Student-Life Stress Inventory Tool (Gadzella 2001) and a demographic survey. Data was collected within the first two weeks of the three semester program. Results of this study indicated that there were no significant differences in the students' reported level of stressors, and reaction to stress based on level of stress and demographic factors. The reported level of stressors by this small sample size may not be those stressors typically encountered by the academic student on a national level. The degree to which the students in this survey reported their level of stress and their ability to accommodate their reaction to stressors may also account for the variability in the results of this study and the results of previous studies by Dr. Gadzella.

Book excerpt: "Analysis of Factors Related to Student Stress Levels During Online Learning at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur" offers an in-depth exploration of the factors influencing stress levels among students engaged in online learning. As online education becomes increasingly prevalent, it brings both benefits and challenges. While online learning offers flexibility and accessibility, it can also lead to heightened stress levels. This book investigates the relationship between procrastination, social support, self-efficacy, and student stress during online learning, providing valuable insights into understanding and addressing stress in this context. Procrastination is identified as a significant factor contributing to increased stress levels among students in online learning environments. The absence of immediate supervision and structure in online learning can lead students to delay or postpone tasks, resulting in a backlog of work and heightened stress levels. This book delves into the impact of procrastination and explores strategies to overcome this challenge. Social support is another crucial aspect examined in the book. Students who perceive a lack of social support during online learning may experience feelings of isolation and overwhelm, further exacerbating their stress levels. The importance of fostering a supportive and inclusive online learning environment is highlighted, emphasizing the role of educational institutions and instructors in providing the necessary support. Additionally, self-efficacy, which refers to students' belief in their ability to succeed, is explored as a significant factor influencing stress levels. Students with high levels of self-efficacy approach challenges with confidence and resilience, while those with low self-efficacy may struggle to cope with the demands of online learning. The book emphasizes the importance of nurturing self-efficacy among students to promote their well-being and success in the online learning environment. To conduct this study, a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach was employed, and a sample of 707 students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur was selected. Validated instruments were used to measure procrastination, social support, self-efficacy, and stress levels, ensuring the accuracy and credibility of the data collected. The findings of this study reveal important insights into stress levels experienced by students during online learning. The significant relationship between procrastination, social support, self-efficacy, and student stress levels during online learning is demonstrated, emphasizing the need to address these factors. Practical strategies and recommendations are provided for educational institutions, instructors, and parents to mitigate stress-inducing factors and create a supportive online learning environment. "Analysis of Factors Related to Student Stress Levels During Online Learning at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur" is an essential resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to understand and alleviate the stress experienced by students in the online learning context. By recognizing and addressing these factors, stakeholders can actively contribute to creating a supportive and conducive online learning environment that promotes students' well-being and academic success.
Download or read book Stress and Coping in Nursing written by Roy D. Bailey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, stress as a concept is being used as an explanation of a wide variety of negative phenomena which are experienced by all people, but which include nurses in particular and their patients. Nursing has been identified as a 'high stress' profession and one can hardly pick up a nursing journal, or even read a newspaper article about nursing, without finding the word stress used liberally. Examples of its use are found in relation to sickness/absence rates, high level of nursing staff turnover, discontent in nursing, the effects of unemployment, the effects of overwork, having too much responsibility, having too Iittle responsibility or control, the effects of constantly giving emotionally to others, the causes of iIIness, the effects of going into hospital, delayed healing, anxiety, depression and alcoholism. Given the heterogeneous nature of these phenomena, some of which are the diametric opposite of others and that they are c1early being attributed to the one concept, stress, then that concept must necessarily be of importance within people's lives. Or is it perhaps just a fashionable, global, but uItimately empty explanation? Roy Bailey and I believe that stress is an extremely important concept. Indeed, we would argue that it is a meta-concept rat her than a concept, which does indeed serve to explain many disparate phenomena.
