Experienced stress among nursing teams in primary health care

Abstract: This research looks to describe experienced stress in nursing teams working in primary health care. Recent changes and increased demands in primary health care may result in highly stressed teams, which have a subsequent impact on nursing care. Nurses' experienced stress has previously been identified at individual, team, organizational and cultural levels. Team related factors associated with stress have been identified as team climate, supportive colleagues and work environment. A descriptive study was condu… Show more

“…Appreciation is a familiar concept in work life because of the human need to be appreciated and noticed (Maslow, 1998). Appreciation and management have been linked in many studies in work life, particularly so in the field of health care where the work load is high, and the work environment is not always seen as supportive (Galdikiene et al., 2016). Appreciation has also been seen to be a mutual concept.…”

“…The excessive workload of nurses at the PHC may be reflected by the lack of teamwork; therefore, it is imperative to re-evaluate the work process at this level of care. All members should be committed in order to avoid stress for the nurse, which consequently decreases the quality of care (19) . In addition to the excess workload, it is necessary to review and place nursing practice on teamwork, which means having specificities of their discipline, but sharing care methods in order to achieve effectiveness in their work through collaboration of different professionals, having the person as the center point of care rather than the disease (20) .…”

“…Outros estudos concluíram que o apoio, em especial das chefias, potencia o engagement e a redução de stress (Cardoso, 2009;Reeve, Shumaker, Yearwood, Crowell, & Riley, 2013), o que vai ao encontro dos resultados do nosso estudo em que a diferença em níveis de stress provocados pela falta de apoio eram superiores nos enfermeiros portugueses, sendo que estes apresentam níveis de engagement mais baixos. Vários fatores contribuem para o stress nos enfermeiros, contudo, estudos apontam para uma maior influencia das condições de trabalho do que das vivências da profissão como, por exemplo, o contato com a morte, ou outros fatores que eventualmente podem à primeira vista ser considerados mais stressantes (Galdikiene, Asikainen, Balciunas, & Suominen, 2016). Estudos concluem que os fatores indutores de stress mencionados com mais frequência pelos enfermeiros são a falta de recursos, a pressão do tempo e a sobrecarga de trabalho (Rainho, Pimenta, Antunes, & Monteiro, 2015) e que o conceito de engagement parece funcionar como um fator protetor de stress.…”
