Recent events have revealed that many healthcare workers are
subject to very high levels of occupational stress. This has become
particularly salient during the COVID-19 crisis. Recent research
indicates that, due to a variety of occupational stressors,
healthcare workers are at risk for a variety of mental and physical
ailments. Unfortunately, the literature on this topic is widely
dispersed among a number of fields, from psychology to medicine to
other professions. This book assembles the state-of-the-art
research from these various fields into one volume that will allow
clinicians, researchers, educators and administrators to understand
the extent of specific risks, their prevention, and treatment. It
draws attention to the emerging issue of stress-related illness in
healthcare and multiple individual topics within this domain. This
book is of interest to researchers and practitioners in clinical
psychology, organizational psychology, and occupational health.
Also, to the healthcare workers themselves that might be looking
for ideas about how to manage stress for themselves or their
coworkers. Finally, this book will be of interest to health
administrators seeking to reduce negative outcomes in their
employees.
