Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing is a mentally and physically demanding job, causing stress in the lives of many registered nurses. Extreme stress is often disregarded due to the demands of the job and the increasing shortage of nurses in the field. Evidence indicates that nurses in skilled nursing facilities are at significant risk for stress-related adverse outcomes. Stress negatively impacts physical and mental health, nurse burnout, and compassion fatigue, compromising the well-being of the nurse and the patients they care for. This project aims to implement a stress management program for registered nurses within a skilled nursing facility. Two resources will be included to help nurses identify stress and manage its effects in and out of the workplace. The first resource is a PowerPoint presentation that explains common outcomes of stress and provides coping strategies to utilize at any time. The second resource is a readily available handout to all nurses that provides quick references on the effects of stress and serves as a reminder for nurses to check in with their current mental and physical state. The provided education will assist nurses in recognizing the signs of stress and offer suggestions for reducing the risk of excessive stress. Nurse managers will also benefit from this project by maintaining a healthier nursing staff and increasing nurse and patient satisfaction. Overall, this project aims to raise awareness of stress and its overall effects on nurses in skilled nursing facilities and provide those nurses with resources to assist them in managing their stress.

This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Coping with Caring written by Meredith Mealer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses typically go in to the profession of nursing because they want to "care" for patients, not knowing that the inherent stresses of the work environment put them at risk for developing psychological disorders such as burnout syndrome, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression. Symptoms of these disorders are often debilitating and affect the nurse’s functioning on both a personal and professional level. While environmental and/or organizational strategies are important to help combat stress, oftentimes the triggers experienced by nurses are non-modifiable including patient deaths, prolonging life in futile conditions, delivering post-mortem care and the feeling of contributing to a patient’s pain and suffering. It is paramount that nurses enhance their ability to adapt to their work environment. Resilience is a multidimensional psychological characteristic that enables one to thrive in the face of adversity and bounce back from hardships and trauma. Importantly, resilience can be learned. Factors that promote resilience include attention to physical well-being and development of adaptive coping skills. This book provides the nurse, and the administrators who manage them, with an overview of the psychological disorders that are prevalent in their profession, first-person narratives from nurses who share traumatic and/or stressful situations that have impacted their career and provide detailed descriptions of promising coping strategies that can be used to mitigate symptoms of distress.
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.

Book excerpt: Background. Burnout is a prevalent, yet ambiguous phenomenon in the skilled nursing facility nursing workforce, known to contribute to staffing shortages, turnover, and low-quality resident care. Few studies have considered burnout and its associated factors, such as social context and stress of conscience, in skilled nursing facility nursing staff. Further, researchers seldomly study perspectives from all nursing job roles (i.e., RN, LPN, CNA) working as a team in skilled nursing facilities. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of Pennsylvania skilled nursing facility nursing staff regarding social context, stress of conscience, and burnout in a post-pandemic work environment. Methods. A purposive sampling strategy was used to recruit fifteen nursing staff members in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) located across Pennsylvania. This qualitative narrative inquiry employed thematic analysis of individual interviews of five RNs, five LPNs, and five CNAs. Results. This study identified four interconnected themes which informed our understanding of social context, stress of conscience, and burnout in skilled nursing facility nursing staff. Themes centered around lacking administrative support, distinctiveness of the skilled care environment, individualized experiences of burnout, and the devastating, yet predictable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results identified foundational issues including inadequate education, ineffective communication, and staff disempowerment. Participants felt these problems impeded their teamwork, which negatively affected resident care during the pandemic. Participants of all nursing job roles believed that this lack of control over resident care and outcomes shaped their experiences with burnout in both their personal and professional lives. Conclusions. Skilled nursing facility nursing staff of all job roles working across Pennsylvania shared similar perspectives regarding their social context, stress of conscience, and burnout. Findings align with the theoretical underpinnings of the Stress in Nursing Home Staff Theoretical Framework which guided the study as well as the limited body of evidence related to these topics in the skilled care environment. Recommendations of this study include refining educational curriculums, implementing supportive policies, and facilitating nursing leadership among all nursing job roles.
