Strategies Of Emotion Management By Hammonds And Cadge

Diminished personal accomplishment is to evaluate oneself negatively because of failure a result it occurs when the individual’s external demands become higher than their coping ability.(Maslach, Schaufeli, leiter., 2001) . Many studies revealed that there is a high prevalence of burnout among nurses worldwide, it can affect approximately 45% of medical and nursing staff .(Abdo, El-Sallamy, El-Sherbiny, & Kabbash., 2015) . Bases upon several studies 25% to 33% of critical care nurses have a symptom of sever burnout syndrome.(Moss, Good, Gozal, Kleinpell, & Sessler., 2016). BURNOUT AMONG NURSES AND QUALITY OF CARE

After checking my email box, I took a shower and prepared for dinner. Realizing that I do not have anything left on my pantry, I picked up my coat. As soon as I took a step towards the front door, I heard the rain dropping on the brick floor. The sound gave me a great pleasure as I picked up my umbrella and headed down the street.

Nurses working in an ICU setting for several years tend to get burn out from all the stress. This is called “burn out syndrome” (American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care

For most nurses in hospital settings, a twelve-hour shift never means twelve hours. Health care is relentlessly being provided on a continuous basis and the demand of a patient care will always take precedence over a nurse’s end of shift. In any practice of nursing, nurses encounter various stressors while caring for patients with complicated health issues, sometimes resulting in nurses placing their own health on the back burner to care for their patient(s). This level of stress and physical manifestations is very common in nursing however; I wanted to focus on how it specifically impacted nurse anesthetists (CRNA). Growing up, I always envisioned nurse anesthetist (CRNA) as a very rewarding profession that offers a variety of unique benefits

A Compassion Fatigue Among ED Nurses Problem When one thinks about nursing, caring, empathy, and compassion come to mind. There is a link, an unbreakable union, for nurses that "compassion fatigue is the cost of caring for others in pain" (Boyle, 2015, p. 49). Compassion fatigue (CF) and its impact on nurses are predominant problems in many Emergency Departments (ED). Nurses perform a number of procedures throughout the day, but primarily the thing that they deliver the most is themselves (Harris & Quinn-Griffin, 2015).

The mind-numbing process of debilitating illnesses eventually take a toll on caregivers. Hence, as a nurse, I must be diligent to delve into a caregiver’s emotional

Working with patient’s that are aggressive can be challenging and even overwhelming at times, making it important of the nurse to self-reflect upon the encountered situation to gain insight and understanding. Being self-aware to one’s own feelings while working with patients and reflecting upon those feelings can benefit a nurse’s practice and care that is provided. As I stood outside the clinic room, I had a lot of nervous energy going because I had no idea what to expect walking into the room and what would happen. I felt hesitant to enter the room which seemed to be a similar response to everyone else as well that was waiting outside their respective doors. As we entered the room I was quite throw off by having the patient sitting on the

Yesterday morning I woke up in a great mood! I went into town today with Abigail and it was so fun! After I had finished my breakfast of milk and a fresh loaf of bread, I knew we’d be out for most of the day, so I got most of my chores done in the morning. First, I washed the breakfast dishes.

I woke up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, birds chirping ,and the sun shining through my window. It was a busy morning for the rest of my family. But for me I have the whole day to surf. My sister Lily is having the last soccer game of the season, my Mom has a meeting at her work, and my Dad well he is my sister's coach so he basically has a soccer game to. After a small breakfast I hear my best friends car pull up.

There is a lot of technical and clinical information that the one will need as a nurse: critical thinking and communication skills, patient assessment skills, understanding disease management protocols and development of care plans (just to name a few), most of which is only obtainable through college or technical school and on the job experience. Respect for the patient, the patient’s support system, as well as, respect for yourself is another essential trait necessary to be a successful registered nurse. If patients are sick or worrying about what might be wrong with them, they are going to understandably be anxious or upset (and probably both). Part of practicing compassion as a nurse is recognizing situations like this – and so many more – and striving to help patients maintain their dignity through it all. This requires honest and straightforward communication.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nursing is the nation’s largest healthcare profession. Registered Nurses who work in the emergency room should be required to be psychologically evaluated in their position because they handle stressful situations. In addition, they witness a numerous amount of traumatic events such as deaths and major body deformations. Therefore, these events can cause personal issues over a long period of time, such as emotional, physical, and psychological actions that scars nurses throughout their profession. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within a nurse’s profession is likely to occur when they experience a traumatic event, and causes an individual to suffer.

I also learned that it’s okay to get involved emotionally with the patient as we become family sometimes. We as the nurse should strive to make an impact in our patient’s lives as well as their family members. Majority of the time we are caring for and see the patient at their most vulnerable time. You may not always feel like you’re making a huge impact in a patient’s life but sometimes the smallest things make the biggest

Emergency nurses treat patients that are in a state of an acute illness or trauma. They deal with many critical situations and have to deal with doctors, family members and other healthcare workers (Johnson & Johnson, 2014). The environment of an Emergency Department is stressful and nurses often observe many tragedies, which can lead them to experience symptoms of compassion fatigue (CF) (Duffy, Avalos, & Dowling, 2015). CF has been called the cost of caring and is a side effect of helping others who have experienced some form of trauma (Figley, 1995; Boyle, 2015; Yoder, 2010).

"Some people feel that humour is trivial and unprofessional in healthcare settings, but this study shows that it is neither" says co-author Dr Ruth Dean, a nurse researcher from the University of Manitoba. Dr Dean carried out the study in the palliative care unit, spending 200 hours observing and informally interacting with care providers, patients and family members and carrying out semi-structured interviews with 15 healthcare staff, including nurses, doctors, a social worker and physiotherapist. Her colleague Joanne Major from the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg spent 72 hours in an intensive care unit, observing and carrying out semi-structured interviews with 15 nurses. "Despite major differences between the work of the intensive care and palliative care units, they are both areas where serious illness, high anxiety and patient and family distress are prevalent and staff are placed in emotionally demanding situations" says Dr Dean.

Nurses have to face with patients, families, physicians, and other professionals who are a
