“…The work of nursing staff largely depends on cooperation and interaction among the therapeutic team, the patients and their families. This entails a very strong emotional involvement [31]. The nurse's emotional competence requires her to be able to manage and cope with her own emotions, as well as the emotions of her patients [32].…”

Introduction. In the opinion of many researchers, nursing staff are exposed to an exceptionally high level of occupational stress. The problem of stress in the working environment of the nursing staff becomes more and more important in the context of increasing staff shortages and insufficient support from colleagues and employers. The aim of this study was to analyse stress factors indicated by the nursing staff in Poland and Lithuania, and to assess their job satisfaction. Materials and method. Two standard research tools were used in the study: the Nursing Stress Scale and the Job Satisfaction Survey. The study involved 230 respondents from Poland and Lithuania. The sample was chosen randomly and incidentally. Results. Based on the analysis of collected materials, the greatest stress factors in the work of the nursing staff were identified, which included interpersonal conflicts between nurses and doctors and between nurses, and death and dying. The study indicated that there is a relationship between stress and job satisfaction among Polish nurses (r=-0.33;p=0.001) and Lithuanian nurses (r=0.34; p=0.001). The greater the stress, the lower the job satisfaction. Low job satisfaction was connected with low remuneration, which is still inadequate to professional duties, and the lack of promotion opportunities. The study confirmed that there were significant differences in job satisfaction among Polish and Lithuanian nurses (Z= -6.27; p<0.001). Conclusions. The study confirmed a high level of stress and dissatisfaction among nursing staff in Poland and Lithuania.

“…Teamwork according to Clark and Seymour (1999) is the model of interdisciplinary working effective in palliative care. However there are variations in team composition and referral patterns across different services in England and research suggests that context affects the performance of teamwork Skillbeck et al, 2002;Opie 1997). There is little critique of the development of such teams in palliative care and the context in which such teams develop (Wittenberg-Lyles, 2005;Cox and James 2004).…”

“…Originally defined by Hochschild (1983) as 'the management of feeling to create a publicly observable facial and bodily display,' (Hochschild, 1983, p.7) the concept of emotional labour has been applied to nursing (Bartram et al 2012;Gray 2009;Hayward & Tuckey 2011;James 1992;Schell & Kayser-Jones 2007;Skilbeck & Payne 2003;Smith 1992;Yang & Chang 2008) in general, and more specifically to HCAs involved in community palliative care work (Munday 2007;Ferguson et al 1998). Emotional labour involves consciously working to present emotions that enable a person's job to be performed effectively, and sometimes requires a person to suppress their inner emotions in order to do this.…”

The provision of emotional labour by health care assistants caring for dying cancer patients in the community: a qualitative study into the experiences of health care assistants and bereaved family carers AbstractBackground: while previous research has suggested that health care assistants supporting palliative care work in the community regard the provision of emotional labour as a key aspect of their role, little research has explored the experiences of family carers who are the recipients of such support.
