The National Health Service (NHS) is undergoing enormous change, which has led to many primary health care professionals experiencing pressure beyond their control and ability to cope. Primary care in Britain has taken on a new shape due to these changes and the members of the primary health care team are having to take additional responsibilities and working under tremendous pressure. Therefore, it is important to identify the sources of stress and find ways of dealing with them.
Although there are a number of books on stress in other professions, there is no general book on stress and methods of coping in primary care. Stress Management for Primary Health Care Professionals is timely in the context of the NHS change, and the impact of this change on the primary health care professional. This is the first book to examine stress in primary care professionals and is aimed directly at primary health care professionals, students in medicine, nursing, social sciences and allied health professions. Also, it can be of value to the researchers working in this area.
This book is the product of the research work of the authors, over the years, on primary health care professionals: general practitioners, practice managers, practice nurses, receptionists, health visitors, district nurses and community psychiatric nurses. The book is organised into 9 chapters. Chapter 1 briefly describes the history and background to the NHS in Britain, its structure, function, changes and reforms. It also mentions important roles of some of the members of the primary care team. In Chapter 2 the concept of stress is defined. Chapter 3 gives a general overview of occupational stress literature. Chapter 4discusses individual differences and other conditioning variables as these influence the experiences of occupational stress. Chapter 5 considers the consequences of stress in terms of cost to the individual and organisation. Although a brief literature review on stress in primary health care professionals is included in Chapter 6, more emphasis is given on the authors' studies. Chapters 7 and 8 describe individual and organisational stress management strategies respectively that the primary health care professionals may find useful. The final chapter briefly mentions resources and training.

Understanding Teacher Stress focuses on the impact of educational reforms, such as the No Child left Behind Act, 2001, on principals and teachers' stress level and coping abilities. It further speaks to the necessity for stress management programs in school districts and teachers college curriculums. The author details educators' coping strategies, and examines various stress management program approaches and designs which educators are likely to benefit from.

'A really powerful book.' - Bruce Daisley Simple tools, extraordinary results. Everything we're learning about how we function best as humans in the digital age is pointing towards one of our oldest technologies: the pen and the page. Exploratory writing - writing for ourselves, not for others, writing when we don't know exactly what it is we want to say - is one of the most powerful and lightweight thinking tools we have at our disposal. It's also been, until now, one of the most overlooked. But the world's most influential leaders are increasingly using the techniques in this book to support the key skills of the 21st century - self-mastery, creativity, focus, solution-finding, collaboration - and so can you. Alison Jones has been helping business leaders identify and articulate what matters over a 30-year career in publishing and as a coach. The founder of Practical Inspiration Publishing and host of The Extraordinary Business Book Club podcast and community, she is passionate about the power of writing to change ourselves and the world.

Several people have asked what motivated us to write a book about commut ing, something that we all do but over which we have very little control. As a matter of fact, the general reaction from professional colleagues and friends alike was first a sort of knowing smile followed by some story. Everyone has a story about a personal commuting experience. Whether it was a problem with a delayed bus, a late arrival, broken-down automobiles, hot trains or subways, during the past year we have heard it all. Many of these stories must be apocryphal because, if they were all true, it is amazing that anyone ever arrived at work on time, at home, or at some other destination. The interest for us likely stems from many factors that over the years have probably influenced our thinking. All of the authors studied and/or grew up in the New York City metropolitan area. For illustration, let's devote a few paragraphs to describing some of the senior author's (Koslowsky's) life experiences. As a young man in New York City, he was a constant user of the New York City subway system. The whole network was and still is quite impressive. For a relatively small sum, one can spend the whole day and night in an underground world (growing up in New York often makes one think that the whole world is contained in its five boroughs)."
