Clinical Question:
Evidence Selection
This essay aims at selecting and summarizing three articles in support of evidence on reducing stress in the lif
e of healthcare professionals. The articles have been chosen to evaluate the evidence for mitigating stress in the life of healthcare workers. The article “The effectiveness of current approaches to workplace stress management in the nursing profession: an evidence-based literature review” authored by Mimura and Griffiths, is a systematic review to validate the effectiveness of environmental and personnel support to reduce stress specifically in nurses. The relevance of this article to the evidence question is partial since it addresses the goal of stress reduction in a particular group of healthcare workers, that is nurses. The paper shows that more evidence is available for personnel support as compared to environmental support for stress reduction in the life of nursing professionals. The second article “The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) Reduces Stress- Related Psychological Distress in Healthcare Professionals” by Asuero and Banda, validates the effectiveness of the technique of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in reducing stress in all the genres of healthcare professions. The authors suggest that this technique is very effective in reducing psychological distress as it supports emotional regulation and psychological flexibility. The authors prove this claim by demonstrating that the negative effect continuously reduces between the periods of intervention and follow-up. The last article identifies the differences and similarities among five health professions in order to conclude that each of those professions has inherent resilience factors. It further indicates that characteristics in the professionals like maintaining work-life balance lead to better resilience in all the disciplines examined in this study.
Evidence Summary
There are various aspects through which stress can be managed and reduced among the healthcare workers. These include several resilience factors of the profession, different types of interventions and techniques like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. This essay shall discuss all the aspects in detail using evidences from three articles.
The first article uses bipartite categorization of support interventions between personnel and environmental support. Personnel support interventions are studied from Taylor (1991), Kwandt (1992), Razavi et al (1993), Tsai and Crockett (1993), Carson et al (1999), Lee and Crockett (1994) and Proctor et al (1998). Environmental support interventions were studied from Russler (1991), Berg et al (1994) and Norberg (1993) and Melchior et al (1996). The methods of interventions included role playing, relaxation, exercise, education, humour, music and cognitive...
