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.

It further speaks to the necessity for stress management programs in school districts and teachers college curriculums.

This revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing helps free you from feeling ashamed or overwhelmed by a messy home.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as “I can never keep up” and a chaotic kitchen as “I’m a bad mother.” Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, “I am alive,” and at stacks of dishes and thought, “I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row.”

Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you’ll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including:

• How to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth
• How to start by setting priorities
• How to stagger tasks so you won’t procrastinate
• How to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine
• How to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional

With KC’s help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren’t finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here.
