Editor's Notes

  1. Many of these issues resulted in: [Read slide]
  2. Not every headache is due to stress, and feeling tired is a logical result of working hard. Yet both of these can be subtle signs of stress. Also, when you or a co-worker repeatedly says, “I don’t care. You decide,” unless the decision is truly inconsequential, this may be a sign of stress.
  3. These are the top five stress management mistakes. Do any of those relate to you? Let’s look for a bit at the first one.
  4. Prevention is key, and it starts with choosing the right place to work. If you had a bad experience during a clinical situation, you don’t need to decide to work there to overcome this experience. Move on. Figure out what the daily stressors are, and then try to space them out, avoid them, or find new ways to respond to them. Don’t forget the physical stress that is just as damaging as the psychological stress. Insist on equipment in the workplace that helps you do the work in a correct and timely manner and prevents injury.
  5. If we think of calendar management in the broadest sense, it really refers to managing the time we have in life to achieve what we want. Whether we are discussing calendars or schedules or hours or minutes, the key is that time easily “escapes” us. Ask yourself these questions. [Read slide]
  6. [Read slide] First, however, ask yourself if it is your job to be interrupted. If it is, and this causes you stress, you need to find different work or change how you think about interruptions.
  7. Being organized doesn’t prevent interruptions, but they often can be accommodated. If you aren’t organized, the smallest interruption can become a disaster. Be sure to use delegation to maximize your effectiveness. Know what needs to be reported back, and be clear at the outset how you will keep apprised of changes in patient status. Multiple things happen at once in clinical settings, so setting priorities and focusing on those keeps you goal oriented. Whether you use an electronic device or a piece of paper, use some kind of method for tracking your own time. Sometimes when we are immersed in a situation, we lose all track of time and then aren’t sure what we need to do next. If someone wants to give you information, unless it is in response to a question you asked, ask them to write it down and give it to you. When we become really busy, we may forget information that wasn’t related to the situation at hand.
