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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RN to BSN and MSN students experience a degree of stress on the job and in the classroom that could lead to negative personal and professional consequences, which in turn may contribute to negative trends in the nursing field including job dissatisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Guided by Tsai’s Theory of Caregiver Stress, this study examines whether a relationship exists between stress level and intensity of life experiences in 84 nursing students in Clarion University’s RN to BSN (n=51) and MSN programs (n=33). Participants were asked to complete the Perceived Stress Scale and Survey of Recent Life Experience reporting their stress levels and perceived stressors over the course of the previous month, as well as a short demographic survey. The correlation between stress and life events was then examined, as well as the relationship of stress to demographic covariates such as age, gender, marital status, years of nursing experience, and enrollment status. As anticipated, a strong positive correlation was found between stress level and life intensity in both RN to BSN and MSN student participants (p=

Abstract: 2 Abstract of thesis entitled Perceived stress and coping strategies of baccalaureate nursing students in clinical practice Submitted by Chan Kit Lin for the degree of Master of Nursing at the University of Hong Kong in August 2006 Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine Hong Kong baccalaureate nursing students' stress, physio-psycho-social health and their coping strategies in clinical practice. Design: A cross-sectional and descriptive study design was used. Sample: All baccalaureate nursing students studying at the University of Hong 3 Kong who have clinical experiences were invited to participate in this study. Among 342 eligible subjects, 205 completed and returned the survey (response rate was 60%). Methods: A self-administrative survey including demographics, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Physio-psycho-social Response Scale (PPSRS), and Coping Behaviour Inventory (CBI) was used. The researcher approached the eligible subjects at the end of lectures. Those who were willing to participate in the study were required to sign a consent form, fill in the questionnaire and then return it to the researcher immediately. Results: The findings revealed that students perceived a moderate level of stress [mean (SD) = 2.10 (0.44)] and were in good physio-psycho-social health [mean (SD) =1.40 (0.65)]. The most common stressor came from 'lack of professional knowledge and skills' [mean (SD) = 2.34 (0.63)]. Emotional symptoms commonly occurred in response to clinical stress. Students frequently used transference coping strategies, which they found most effective in dealing with stress in clinical practice. Furthermore, year of study and level of stress were the two factors affecting students' health. Year of study and stress from taking care of patients were the two predictors of the frequency of use of the problem-solving approach. Year of study, religion and stress from teachers and nursing staff affected the frequency of use of avoidance strategies. The frequency of four coping strategies, stress from peers and daily life, 4 stress from taking care of patients and religion predicted the effectiveness of coping. Conclusion: The results provided valuable information for clinical educators and clinical staff in identifying students' needs, facilitating their learning in the clinical setting and developing effective interventions to reduce the stress they encounter.

Download or read book Stress and Human Performance written by James E. Driskell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pace of life in our high technology world has quickened. Industries that do not become more efficient, often by requiring a faster production turnaround with less slack, are superseded. Because of this, workers face an environment in which they must perform under more time pressure and under greater task load, in which stress is more prevalent, and in which consequences of poor performance are more critical than ever before. The dominant, if unstated, psychoanalytic paradigm underlying much stress research over the past fifty years has led to an emphasis on coping and defense mechanisms and to a preoccupation with disordered behavior and illness. Accordingly, almost any book with "stress" in the title will invariably devote a considerable amount of pages to topics such as stress-related disorders, clinical interventions, stress and coping, psychopathology, illness, and health issues. This book presents basic and applied research that addresses the effects of acute stress on performance. There are a large number of applied settings that share the commonalities of high demand, high risk performance conditions, including aviation; military operations; nuclear, chemical, and other industrial settings; emergency medicine; mining; firefighting; and police work, as well as everyday settings in which individuals face stressors such as noise, time pressure, and high task load. This book focuses directly on the effects of acute stress-- defined as intense, novel stress of limited duration--on performance. The effects of stress on task performance, decision making, and team interaction are discussed, as well as the interventions used to overcome them.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physiological and psychological effects of stress can be detrimental to the health and well-being of a college student. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived stress levels of nursing students and compare those to the perceived stress levels of engineering and education students. This quantitative study consisted of approximately 76 students between the ages of 18-39 attending Carroll College and enrolled in 300 level courses in the nursing, education, and engineering programs (39 nursing, 21 education, and 16 engineering students). The study consisted of 16 male and 60 female participants of different races. The Perceived Stress Scale-10 was utilized to measure the students’ perceived stress levels. Results from the study were shown to be statistically significant with a p-value less than .05, with nursing students demonstrating higher perceived stress levels than education and engineering students. Future research includes implementing stress reduction strategies to decrease stress levels in the nursing program.
