This research examined relationships between stress and teams. The sample consisted of females (n = 98) and males (n = 103) with experiences in team leader and member roles. The results revealed that 26-35-year-olds scored higher on eliminating stressors (p = 0.043*). Those who were unmarried, but in a relationship scored higher in developing resiliency skills (p = 0.031*). Those without children scored lower on being able to lead a team (p = 0.005**) and being an effective team member (p = 0.016*). All stress management skills were significantly related to being able to diagnose and facilitate team development.

“…Other programmatic initiatives such as counseling and peer support models have also been shown to be helpful (Curling & Simmons, 2010). Studies have identified having someone to talk to, and training regarding the emotional distress that is common in aid work, as essential to protecting staff against severe emotional distress and burnout (Jokovic et al, 2016). Trauma-specific training has been found to decrease the potential for vicarious trauma (Harr, 2013).…”

Ongoing acute stress in humanitarian work leads to psychological distress among humanitarian workers. Stress management within humanitarian agencies requires responses at both the individual staff member and agency levels. Stress management is often conceptualized in four categories: stress that can be accepted; stress that can be altered; stress to which individuals can adapt; and stress that can be avoided. Humanitarian workers accept the stress created by the environment in which they choose to work. They can manage stress by altering their own behaviors through improved communication skills and the implementation of self-care plans. They can adapt, with the help of staff care plans such as counseling and peer support, to the stress created by their own histories of trauma or mental illness. The stress created by the workplace can be avoided. However, without a comprehensive support plan for mitigating psychological distress, both the individual humanitarian worker and the agency overall suffer. This article reviews current literature regarding the impact of avoidable stress and the impact of adaptation programs such as staff care and stress management plans on humanitarian work, and illustrates these impacts with a case example from the Danish Refugee Council, an international non-governmental organization with approximately 300 employees working in Greece.
