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.
