About this title

Synopsis

Stress levels in health professionals have been shown to be high in many countries and in most staff groups. This creates a personal cost to the individuals concerned, a financial cost to the organisations in terms of absence, early retirement and complaints, and a health cost to patients in terms of the risk of poorer quality care that is received by patients from stressed or dissatisfied staff. At a time when health organisations worldwide are striving to reduce costs and to increase quality, addressing the psychological well-being of their staff has necessarily risen high on their priorities. Stress in Health Professionals reports on the latest research from around the world on the causes of stress in health professionals and on ways to intervene to reduce stress levels. In doing this, it takes approaches from organisational and clinical psychology to focus on key staff groups. It considers wider issues such as burn-out, teamwork, training and counselling services and investigates the effectiveness of both organisational and individual interventions. Written by experts from a broad range of areas, the chapters include:
* the latest evidence on the levels and sources of stress in health staff
* links between stress and patient care Individual differences in the stress process ways to set up counselling services
* the importance of teamworking
* a strong focus on interventions and their evaluation
This volume is an important resource for managers, health professionals, trainers and health organisations, and also for those involved in research in this important area of individual and organisational well being.
"The book can be recommended as a resource for health providers, managers researchers involved in the field of work stress..." International Journal of Adolescent Medicine Health
"This is an excellent book to have in your library and many of the chapters should be required reading for professional, strategic and operational line managers concerned with designing effective work environments." Clinical Child Psychology & Psychiatry

From the Publisher

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.
