This book is aimed at occupational, clinical and health psychologists, nurses, doctors, paramedical staff and all who manage people in health settings. The editors have invited an international team of authors to review the literature with a focus on three main questions: how much stress there is, what stressors cause it and what can be done to help individuals and organizations cope with its consequences. The unique stresses arising from caring for the sick and dying are particularly explored. At a time when the health professions are undergoing a period of considerable change, both technical and financial, this book recommends ways in which this can be tackled and used positively for the benefit of both patients and health professionals.

Brings together studies by international authors who examine the sources of stress in the health professions and the range of problems experienced by today's healthcare workers. Taking a broad approach to this increasingly urgent topic, the authors approach the subject from several perspectives--from detailed critical reviews of the research and literature to date, to more theoretical accounts of what it means to care for suffering, sometimes terminally ill people. Pointing out the considerable changes now taking place in the health professions and the areas in which further research is needed, it reviews the large bodies of literature which exist within some professions, and reveals the absence of research in others. Critical discussions on approaches to stress management in several of the health professions and suggestions of new ways of alleviating stress have important implications for training and management in these fields.
