Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Nursing Science - Miscellaneous, grade: B+ (70), Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: Stress appears to be a normal response to certain agencies that require the application of our capabilities to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In the care of patients, the working environment typically encompasses well-defined structures such as healthcare institutions (regardless of their levels of expertise) or informal settings commonly found in many resource-limited settings where access to formal institutions may be temporarily or permanently unavailable.
The present work focuses on the subject of burnout among nursing professionals owing to a myriad of factors. It highlights the phenomena of stress in the workplace and individual’s lives of nurses; existing assumptions on burnout as an indicator of stress and its mechanistic pathways within a health organization. This is followed by literature analysis of research works on the impact of burnout, in particular, as a barrier to achieving the ultimate goal of quality and safe patient care and the role of positive psychology.
In sum, it is imperative that the promotion of health and the prevention of health problems (particularly among nurses) should majorly be focused on creating a work environment that does not induce an unnecessary amount of stress and that can compensate for unavoidable stress in the form of increased control and rewards for workers among other incentives.
