Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant difference between patients' and nurses' perceptions of the stimuli experienced by Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. In addition, it determined if there was a significant relationship between the patients' perceptions of stress and the number of days spent in the ICU, the severity of illness, or whether a patient received an ICU orientation visit. The study was designed as a descriptive survey in which both patients and nurses rated, on a 4 point scale, the intensity of 22 stimuli commonly encountered in the ICU. The subjects were a convenience sample of 20 matched pairs consisting of a patient who had spent at lease 24 hours in the ICU and a nurse who had cared for that patient in the ICU.

Book Perceptions of Stress and Its Impact in Intensive Care Nurses

Download or read book Perceptions of Stress and Its Impact in Intensive Care Nurses written by Joseph Perry and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of interpersonal interactions as stressor and stress reliever was highlighted in this study. Participants described the importance of social support in ameliorating the impact of stress but also described a reticence to acknowledge stress for fear of being judged as not suited to the rigors of ICU nursing. This study indicates that nurses perceive stress to affect many facets of performance with subsequent impact on patient care. Professional and legal duty of care requires nurses to address a known threat to patient care. Therefore, measures to relieve stress in ICU nurses should be explored in future studies. Further research into how social support can be optimized while not undermining the confidence and self-esteem of those receiving it has the capacity to significantly influence the experience of stress and its consequences in ICU nurses.

Book Patient s and Health Care Providers  Perception of Stressors in the Critical Care Unit

Download or read book Patient s and Health Care Providers Perception of Stressors in the Critical Care Unit written by Alham Abuatiq and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate intensive care patients' perceptions of stressors, to investigate the health care provider's perception of what constitutes a stressor from the patient's perspective, and to describe how health care providers manage their patients' stressors. This study is a replication of Cornock's (1998) study of stress. Background and significance: A person's mental state and stress level affect his or her overall wellbeing and recovery from illness and statistics suggest that stress actually causes 80% to 90% of illnesses (Sidman, 2011). Approximately 4.4 million patients require intensive care unit (ICU) treatment annually in the United States (National Quality Measures Clearinghouse. 2012). It is important to describe ICU patients' stressful experiences in order to provide feedback to health care providers and improve the quality of care (Justic, 2000). Methodology: Mixed methods design, comparative descriptive design for the quantitative section and phenomenological approach for the qualitative section. The sample included 70 ICU patients and 70 ICU health care providers. After consenting to participate in this study, a demographic form and a paper based tool, the Environmental Stressors graphic data form Questionnaire" (ESQ) (Cornock, 1998), were given to subjects. Questionnaires were filled out by subjects anonymously and returned to the researcher in the same setting. Findings: the top three most stressful items ranked by the patients included: "Being in pain", followed by "Not Being able to sleep" and "Financial worries"; on the other hand, health care providers perceived "Being in pain", followed by "Not being able to communicate", and "Not being in control of yourself' as the top three stressors perceived by their patients. Communication, pain management, encouraging the presence of family, and environmental control were the major strategies in health care providers' management of patients' stressors. Study implications: ICU staff can manipulate the ICU environment to be less stressful. The findings of this study could guide the development of ICU stressor control policy. Future research should focus on investigating the financial effects on ICU patients and their recovery from critical illness, there is a need to refine the health care reimbursement system accordingly.
