Abstract
Nurse managers are under increased stress because of excessive workloads and hospitals' restructuring which is affecting their work tasks. High levels of stress could affect their mental health. Yet, few stress management training programmes are provided for this population. The purpose of this study was to apply stretch-release relaxation and cognitive relaxation training to enhance the mental health for nurse managers. A total of 65 nurse managers in Hong Kong were randomly assigned to stretch-release relaxation (n = 17), cognitive relaxation (n = 18), and a test control group (n = 35). Mental health status was assessed using the Chinese version of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Chinese version of the General Health Questionnaire. Participants were assessed at the pretreatment session, the fourth posttreatment session, and at the 1-month follow-up session. The results revealed both the stretch-release and cognitive relaxation training enhanced mental health in nur!
se managers in Hong Kong. The application of relaxation training in enhancing mental health status for nurses and health professionals is discussed.

Abstract
Oncologists grapple with an element of psychological stress that relates to the suffering their patients experience. Although this stress may not be unique to oncology, it is profound. When these stresses become overwhelming, they lead to physician burnout. It is important to understand what makes an oncologist feel successful, what coping strategies help combat burnout, and what adds to the process of renewal. The doctor-patient relationship plays an important role for many oncologists in this regard, and communication skills are increasingly recognized for their importance in this arena. We outline several clinical scenarios that pose particular challenges to oncologists. These include breaking bad news and the patient's response to hearing bad news, transitions in care and offering end-of-life care, participation in investigational studies, error disclosure, complementary and alternative medicine, spirituality, family discussions, and cross-cultural issues. By highlight!
ing the relevant psychosocial issues, we offer insight into, and tools for, an enriched dialogue between patient and oncologist. The doctor-patient relationship can be viewed as the ultimate buffer for dealing with the hassles encountered in clinical oncology.

Abstract
A review of the literature (Part 1 in this series) revealed the power and pitfalls of being female and being a healer. A qualitative study of medical-surgical nurses (Part 2) gave a glimpse of the satisfaction, frustration, and confusion nurses experience as healers. In particular, participants did not engage in regular self-care behaviors and did not articulate ways to create healing environments that would support nurses as well as patients. In this third and final article, implications and recommendations beyond the study will be shared. Education, clinical practice, leadership, and research are aspects of professional nursing that may benefit from these interpretations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This controlled, prospective, randomized study examined the clinical and potential economic impact of a 6-session Recreational Music-making (RMM) protocol on burnout and mood dimensions, as well as on Total Mood Disturbance (TMD) in an interdisciplinary group of long-term care workers. METHODS: A total of 112 employees participated in a 6-session RMM protocol focusing on building support, communication, and interdisciplinary respect utilizing group drumming and keyboard accompaniment. Changes in burnout and mood dimensions were assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Profile of Mood States respectively. Cost savings were projected by an independent consulting firm, which developed an economic impact model. RESULTS: Statistically-significant reductions of multiple burnout and mood dimensions, as well as TMD scores, were noted. Economic-impact analysis projected cost savings of $89,100 for a single typical 100-bed facility, with total annual potential!
savings to the long-term care industry of $1.46 billion. CONCLUSIONS: A cost-effective, 6-session RMM protocol reduces burnout and mood dimensions, as well as TMD, in long-term care workers.

Abstract
Critical care settings are stressful to nurses, and exposure over time may contribute to stress-related symptoms and illnesses. Nurses' personal use of complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) may lessen the effects of stress and contribute to their overall well-being and health maintenance. A national survey of critical care nurses who are members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses revealed that a majority (96.4%) of critical care nurse respondents were using one or more CAT for personal use or had consulted a provider for CAT therapy. The most common therapies used were exercise, diet, massage, and prayer (or spiritual direction). Nurses' personal use of CAT was related to having knowledge of more types of CAT, use of more CAT in practice, a perception of benefits of greater numbers of CAT, more openness to use, more types of CAT recommended to patients, and a perception of more barriers to use in their institutional setting. Data support our model !
that links nurses' personal use to use in practice. Educational programs to promote nurses' knowledge and personal use of CAT could lead to an increase in appropriate use of CAT in professional practice and potential benefits to critical care patients and their families.

Abstract
The spiritual needs of patients are often neglected by health-care professionals who are already over-stretched by the 'physical' demands of their role. However, there is also ignorance of the spiritual needs of health-care professionals, especially nurses, who may have personal uncertainties about their own spirituality. This lack of understanding can lead to burnout.

Hardiness and spiritual well-being as moderators of burnout in professional nurses.
Source
(George Fox University) ** 2000; Psy.D. 67 p.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of hardiness and spiritual well-being as moderators of burnout in a random sample of professional nurses in Oregon. The first hypothesis was that higher levels of hardiness and spiritual well-being would be related to lower levels of burnout. A second hypothesis stated that existential well-being would be positively correlated with hardiness. The third hypothesis stated that age, years of experience, spiritual well-being and hardiness would be related to lower burnout. Hardiness and its components of commitment, challenge and control were measured by the Personal Views Survey II. Spiritual well-being, existential well-being and religious well-being were measured by the Spiritual Well-being Scale. The Maslach Burnout Inventory measured the burnout components of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. A demographic form provided descriptive data of the participants. Results indicated that hardines!
s and spiritual well-being each correlated negatively with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and positively with personal accomplishment. Existential well-being correlated positively with hardiness and its components of control, challenge and commitment. Age, years of experience, spiritual well-being and hardiness explained 33% of the variance in emotional exhaustion scores and 21% of the variance in depersonalization and personal accomplishment scores. Step-wise regression analysis showed that age of nurse, workplace support and commitment explained 46% of the variance in emotional exhaustion scores. Commitment, time with patients and workplace support explained 33% of the variance in depersonalization scores. Commitment and time with clients explained 27% of the variance in personal achievement scores. These findings suggest that hardiness and spiritual well-being serve as moderators of burnout. Age, years of experience, time spent with patients and workplace sup!
port should be considered as contributing factors in reducing !
burnout.
Implications include the need to consider the role of existential significance in nurses' work and in the prevention and reduction of burnout. Provision of mentoring for young, less experienced nurses, time for involvement with people in workload assignments, and workplace support are suggested interventions.

Abstract
This exploratory study investigates the themes and characteristics of 16 family practice residents' artwork related to stress. The relationships between theorized indicators of resident stress and important individual characteristics such as age, gender, resident year, and undergraduate training location of the resident were studied. Each resident made three drawings expressing his or her feelings about the last full year of residency (drawing 1), the stress experienced (drawing 2), and the sources of support and rejuvenation (drawing 3). Professional art therapists unaware of the residents' identities evaluated the artwork and formulated positive and negative themes relevant to stress. The chi-square test was used to measure the association between themes indicative of stress and individual risk factors. When viewed as a whole, the residents' drawings are linked by common themes of psychological pressure, anxiety, a sense of being overwhelmed, and often depression, all of!
which are expressive of the stress they experienced. Indicators of stress as evidenced by negative themes were more frequent in drawings of international medical graduates (IMGs) and older residents.

Abstract
Nurse leaders live in a world of intense chaos. Now more than ever, the workplace environment is undergoing impressive and radical change. Forces have left the nurse leader with more tasks at hand, more meetings to attend, and more relationships to cultivate with less time to accomplish everything than ever before. How is one to achieve a sense of balance or harmony? How can a nurse leader succeed in this environment of increasing demands? Nursing leaders are not only part of, but they are role models for today's changing work force. In order to build an engaged, healthy and productive work force, nurse leaders must first emulate these same characteristics. This article will consider consequences of increasing pressure of changing health care roles and job stress followed by a review of the relationship between the mind and the body. An examination of the influence of culture and gender follows. A strategy of prioritizing the "self" first while creating a healthy lifestyle!
will be discussed. Lastly, specific approaches and alternatives intended to help nurse leaders achieve this balance will be recommended. Copyright (C) 2002 by Aspen Publishers, Inc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Today, women have an enlightened view towards their life cycles, which is evidence of their healing potential. Women need to share their insights about their healing potential gained through self-reflective processes. Their voices must be heard so that we can benefit from their collective wisdom. The process of healing through self-reflection has begun as a group of nurses share their insights. Documenting the perspectives of these nurses provides the opportunity for other women to learn from and apply this knowledge to their lives. METHOD: Through purposive sampling, eight registered nurses, all women, were selected to participate in in-depth, personal, semi-structured interviews. The purposes in this paper are to describe a three-stage (i.e. awareness, critical analysis, and new perspective) reflective-thinking model and discuss the application of this model to women's expressed inner knowledge and wisdom across personal and professional life cycles. RESULTS:!
Three themes, signifying their ability to heal themselves, were labelled: Spirituality, Be-ing Versus Do-ing, and Eustress Versus Distress. CONCLUSIONS: Essentially, self-reflection results from both personal and professional stimuli and signifies the need for change so that healing can begin. Recommendations are offered for nurse educators and researchers.

Abstract
This article describes the way of coping with burnout among family physicians and family social workers. Emphasis is given to the question: What do both professionals have in common when it comes to burnout? Most human-service professions have traditionally been client or patient centered, with little attention given in the literature or in training to the many stresses experienced by the professional. Clearly, learning to cope with stress is an important skill for these professionals. It is important not only for the individual's well-being and patient care, but also for curriculum development and implementation of prevention and treatment programs.

Abstract
Tension and pain are common occupational hazards of modern-day nursing, especially given recent changes to the health care system. The aims of the pilot study were (1) to evaluate the feasibility of carrying out a series of eight 15-minute workplace-based massage treatments, and (2) to determine whether massage therapy reduced pain and stress experienced by nursing staff at a large teaching hospital. Twelve hospital staff (10 registered nurses and 2 nonmedical ward staff) working in a large tertiary care center volunteered to participate. Participants received up to eight, workplace-based, 15-minute Swedish massage treatments provided by registered massage therapists. Pain, tension, relaxation, and the Profile of Mood States were measured before and after each massage session. Pain intensity and tension levels were significantly lower after massage (P <.01). In addition, relaxation levels and overall mood state improved significantly after treatments (P <.01). The results !
of this pilot study support the feasibility of an eight-session, workplace-based, massage therapy progrom for pain and tension experienced by nurses working in a large teaching hospital. Further research is warranted to study the efficacy of workplace massage in reducing stress and improving overall mood. (c) 1999 by American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses.

Abstract
SYNOPSIS: Smoking behavior among nurses continues at unacceptably high levels. The author provides an historical review of patterns smoking and factors in tobacco dependence among nurses, including demographic variables, causative factors, professional characteristics, and stressors of the work and academic environments. The author reemphasizes an aggressive approach toward prevention of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality, and suggests eight areas for potential research and important target areas for prevention of smoking and overall strategies for interventions. The impact of smoking on nurses' practice, particularly on their responsibility as health educators and role models is examined. [Original article accession number: 1992142637 (review)]

Abstract
A large scale empirical study concerning spiritual pain at the end of life was set up by a multi-disciplinary group of palliative care specialists in Flanders, Belgium. All Flemish speaking palliative care health workers were sent a questionnaire concerning spiritual/religious needs, care and growth. This paper focuses on issues relating to spiritual needs and growth of the caregivers. Although respondents considered the ability to identify personal spiritual needs as an important criterion for offering good spiritual care, in-depth analysis suggests a considerable gap between theoretical insight and daily practice. Findings advocate greater awareness and assertiveness among caregivers regarding their own spiritual experiences. A structural implementation of supervision to address the hidden spiritual agenda of the palliative team may need to pre-empt systems that teach how to respond more adequately to patients' spiritual needs.

Abstract
This was a one year follow-up study for effects of relaxation training, combining guided imagery and meditation, on the stress level of nurses working at medical centers in Taiwan. The short term (five weeks) effects of this relaxation training, which was based on the pre-post test control design, showed the initial evidence of reduced nurse stress level and promoted the self-perceived psychophysiological health (Tsai & Crockett, 1993). The relaxation training included three ninety minute sessions in the first, second, and fifth weeks. The course contents of three sessions embraced Smith's cognitive-behavioral relaxation model and practice of relaxation techniques. This one-year follow-up of long-term effects had ninety-one returned questionnaires with 66% return rate. Research results were the following. (1) Three dependent variables had different changes. The changes of the Nurse Stress Checklist were not significant after one year of relaxation training. The one year ch!
anges of Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ) showed a significant trend (p = 0.065). The difference between sick leaves of one year before and after the relaxation training was not significant. (2) Among the influencing factors, continuing practice of relaxation technique was the predominant one. The different CHQ between the continuing practice group and others (including the experimental and control group) showed significance (p<0.05).

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of relaxation training which was based on cognitive-behavioral model and was specifically focused on helping Chinese registered nurses employed in large teaching hospitals to reduce their work stress in Taiwan, Republic of China. The study design was a pretest post-test control design with two post-test points. The one hundred and thirty-seven subjects were selected randomly from three first-ranked teaching hospitals. Twenty-three subjects in one group and twenty-three in the other group for each hospital with one subject absent in the experimental group in the pretest condition of this study. The treatment of the experimental group consisted of two sessions of relaxation technique based on Smith's cognitive behavioral model of relaxation at Week One, Week Two, and a follow-up session in the fifth week. The control group had the same sequence of sessions with a presentation by the researcher on theory analysis in nurs!
ing. The mean scores on the Nurse Stress Checklist (NSC) and the Chinese General Health Questionnaire differed significantly between the experimental and control group in Post-test Two at Week Five. These results supported the hypotheses that the relaxation training decreased the Chinese nurse self reported work stress as measured by Nurse Stress Checklist and increased the Chinese nurse self reported psychophysiologic health as measured by Chinese General Health Questionnaire. The significant difference on means of the Chinese General Health Questionnaire in Post-test One at Week Two showed that the self reported psychophysiologic health level responded to the relaxation training earlier than to the self reported work stress level. In the treatment of relaxation, duration of practice was an important factor for the effectiveness of this treatment on the dependent variable of NSC. It is suggested that even brief teaching of relaxation techniques may reduce work stress level!

Abstract
An analysis of smoking behavior among nurses shows unacceptably high levels of smoking, despite some evidence of a downward trend. In this article, the nature of tobacco dependence is examined, and an extensive review of demographic and causative factors associated with the smoking behavior of nurses is presented. The impact of smoking on the practice of nurses, particularly related to their ability to serve as health educators and role models, is critically examined. Areas for potential research and inquiry, along with some overall strategies for intervenion, are identified.

(UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY) ** 1990; PH.D. 120 p.
Abstract
The problem. The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficiency of the use of a support group and progressive relaxation training in a stress management program for nurse managers. Method. An experimental study was conducted. Nurse managers from seven hospitals in Southern California were invited to participate. There were 30 subjects in the experimental group and 35 subjects in the control group. The experimental group participated in a stress management program comprised of a work support group and progressive relaxation training. The control group received no training. The state-trait levels of anxiety of each subject were measured using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (Form Y; Speilberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, & Jacobs, 1983). A demographic survey was completed with the administration of the STAI pretest. The demographic variables were: age, years of college, years of nursing, years in present position and size of hospital. After five weeks and/or the end !
of treatment, the STAI posttest was completed by all subjects. Results. An analysis of covariance was used to determine whether the treatment received by the experimental group significantly reduced state anxiety while considering the covariates of state pretest anxiety and trait pretest anxiety. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control group on posttest state anxiety (p < .0001). There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group on posttest trait anxiety. Additional analysis of the data demonstrated that the demographic variables did not contribute to the outcome of the study. The results of the study indicated that job anxiety can be significantly reduced within a short time frame by conducting a stress management program in the work environment. Implications of the study suggest that other organizations, outside of the healthcare industry, implement stress management into!
management training programs. (Scientific symbols modified wh!

An investigation of the effects of a stress management program on reported levels of stress/anxiety and time perception in registered nurses in the workplace.
Source
(BOSTON UNIVERSITY) ** 1989; D.N.SC. 210 p.
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a stress management program utilizing relaxation skills and mental imagery on registered nurses' reported levels of stress/anxiety and time perception. The theoretical framework for the study identified nursing as a stress related profession and suggested behavioral change using such "time" strategies. The sample consisted of 43 unpaid volunteers from one large metropolitan hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Twenty-five consenting staff nurses were assigned to the experimental group and 21 consenting staff nurses were assigned to the control group by use of a table of random numbers. Three control subjects were lost or dropped from the study before completion. Therefore, 43 subjects' responses were used in the data analysis. Both groups were tested pre- and post-intervention on the two dependent variables of stress/anxiety and time perception. Six measures were used: the Stress Audit with its 3 scales--Situations, Vu!
lnerability, and Symptoms, the State Anxiety Inventory, the Speed of Time Passing Scale, and a Verbal Estimate of Time Percent. The experimental group received an audio taped program which they practiced for four weeks. The control group was offered the intervention at the completion of the study. Two tailed t tests for independent samples were computed on the pre-test scores for the two dependent measures to determine equivalence of groups. Analyses of Variance for Repeated Measures were computed on the mean scores to determine differences between groups in the direction hypothesized. The results of the analyses revealed that the experimental group and the control group were equivalent initially. Alternate hypotheses 2 and 4 were highly significant and alternate hypothesis 1 was partially supported and showed a trend towards the direction hypothesized. Hypothesis 3 was not supported. The experimental group showed a reduction in the symptoms of stress, temporal anxiety, and!
an expanded time sense post-treatment. Participation in the s!
tudy res
ulted in a reduction of reported levels of stress/anxiety and an expanded time sense for all subjects. Significance level was set at p < 0.05 for the study. The results demonstrated the potential for application of the study intervention as a behavioral self-control strategy for time-anxious nurses experiencing moderate symptoms of stress. It was concluded that if study subjects were assisted to remain personally well, their professional goal of client wellness may be easier to achieve.

The effects of social support training and stress inoculation training on burnout in nurses.
Source
(LEHIGH UNIVERSITY) ** 1989; PH.D. 145 p.
Abstract
This research compared the effectiveness of social support training (SST), stress inoculation training (SIT), and a no-training control group (CG) for reducing burnout and improving work relationships in nurses. Forty-seven nurses were assigned to one of the three conditions: SST (n = 11), SIT (n = 12), and CG (n = 24). Nurses in the treatment conditions met weekly for six 2 1/2 hour sessions. All 47 nurses were tested immediately before training. At the conclusion of the treatment groups' training, all subjects were retested. The SST group received training in the development and use of the nurses' social support network at work. They were trained to recognize the signs, signals, and symptoms of stress. Nurses in the SIT group were trained to behaviorally assess their stressors. They were taught to use strategies such as relaxation training, guided imagery, and role-playing, as stress-reduction techniques. Demographic data were assessed via a questionnaire. The criteri!
on measures were the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Work Relationship Index (WRI), and the Life Experiences Survey (LES). Data were analyzed using a series of repeated measures MANOVAS which provided information on the effects of group and time. Results revealed the SST and SIT were more effective than the CG in reducing burnout (MBI) and improving work relationships (WRI). For burnout (MBI), each training group produced differing changes relative to the subscale components of the measure. SST nurses demonstrated more significant changes in burnout. Their results showed reduced emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (similar to the SIT nurses) and significant improvement in their score on personal accomplishment. Compared to the SST group, nurses in the SIT condition perceived a greater sense of involvement and increased supervisor support. Finally, pretests/posttest scores on total life experiences (TOTLES) remained consistent for the three groups. However, compa!
red to the control group nurses in SST and SIT reported fewer !
negative
perceptions of their negative life experiences. This study supports the effectiveness of social support training and stress inoculation training for nurses experiencing burnout. Additionally, each training program affected the specific components of burnout and of work environment relationships. Limitations of the study, implications of the findings and recommendations for future research were discussed. (Scientific symbols modified where possible in accordance with CINAHL policy.)
