Great information here! Stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue are plaguing healthcare workers as collateral damage from the pandemic. We must work to cure ourselves!

When I took nursing boards thirty years ago we were encouraged to employ a "thirty second vacation'" imagery when overwhelmed by a question. I have used it since then and shared it with colleagues and students. The deep relaxation breathing accompanied a relaxing mental trip to the beach or a quiet forest. The mantra seems to add the icing to a two layer cake in this article. This is a perfect trifecta to share with my students.

This article is great! Stress management tools assist the nurse when working in these units that require so much from the nurse.

Stress techniques are meant for the acute incidents. There are chronic causes that should be looked at that stress techniques cannot fix, it only allows the moment to pass so nurses can continue to do their work in healing others.

I love this article. Since covid, I have noticed a change in attitudes among nurses and physicians alike. I think those of us who worked during the height of the covid outbreak carry residual stress still. I know I snap quicker, I enjoy my job less and I am just treading water until I can retire. I previously found joy in my profession and my patients. I could come to work having started the day off wrong and helping my patients lifted my spirits. I came to dread coming to work but I am working on regaining my balance again. These techniques are useful and I have currently been using them to help me restore my balance and find enjoyment in my profession again. Hopefully others that are not dealing with stress well to utilize these techniques.
