Stress and Coping in Nursing

Written in an accessible way, this book reviews a large body of theory and research on stress and coping in nursing. It enables the nurse to understand and cope with his or her own stress. It also helps the reader to understand, interpret and help cope with patient stress. The book contains arguments supported by reference to relevant research. Since nursing itself is such a stressful occupation and the reduction of patient stress such a significant feature of good nursing care, the book shold have a wide appeal. This book should be of interest to trained nurses, nurses taking advanced or post-basic courses, student nurses.
