Bakgrund: Stress är en subjektiv upplevelse som kan leda till fysisk och psykisk påfrestning. På arbetsplatsen är stress ett vanligt förekommande fenomen som ökat mycket de senaste åren. När vårdpersonal upplever stress känner de sig maktlösa och psykiskt utmattade. Stressen och dess konsekvenser påverkar även omvårdnaden och patientsäkerheten. För att hantera stressen behöver vårdpersonal hjälp. Syftet: Syftet med arbetet var att utifrån tidigare forskning beskriva strategier och specifika metoder för stresshantering som vårdpersonal kan använda sig av om de upplever stress i omvårdnadsarbetet. Metod: För att syftet skulle kunna uppnås valdes litteraturstudien som metod. Materialet söktes fram i databasen CINAHL. Femton artiklar valdes ut för att granskas och analyseras. Resultat: Resultatet pekade på att av de olika stresshanteringsstrategier och metoder som fanns för vårdpersonal, var MBSR den mest effektiva då den ledde till en ökad känsla av välbefinnande och en reducering av stress. Diskussion: Vårdpersonal behöver en ökad medvetenhet om sin situation och sin omgivning. För att kunna ge en god omvårdnad måste vårdpersonal först ta hand om sig själv. / Bakground: Stress is an individual experience that can lead to physical and psychological distress. Stress is a common phenomenon at the workplace, and has increased during the last years. When nursing staff experiences stress they feel powerless and psychologically exhausted. The consequences of stress also have influences on caring and the patients safety. To be able to handle stress, nursing staff needs help. Aim: The aim of this work was to describe strategies and special methods that nursing staff can use in order to handle with stress, if they experience stress during caring. Method: To reach the purpose, the literature review was chosen as a method. Data was found through the database CINAHL. Fifteen articles were chosen in order to be studied and analyzed. Result: The result showed that MBSR was the most efficient method of the different strategies and special methods, which were found, as it led to an increased feeling of wellness and reduced stress. Discussion: Nursing staff needs an improved consciousness about their situation and their environment. To make a good work in caring, nursing staff must take care of themselves first.

The present study examines the adaptation of psychologists - psychotherapists to particular characteristics of the practice office as a work environment. Twenty female psychologists participated in the project. Lipp's Symptoms of Stress Inventory was applied. Semi-structured interviews were used to identify stressful aspects of the work environment and perceived effects on health and quality of life, as well as their efforts to deal with specific demands of this environment and the resources that help them overcome the adverse experiences of work in the therapy room. The results show that 15 participants did not show symptoms of stress and 5 were in the phase of resistance. The stressed psychologists did not report different sources of stress than the non-stressed psychologists, but the nonstressed psychologists showed a greater variety of coping repertoires and of resilience factors. "Enjoying oneself" and "Practicing physical activity to recharge" were the most typically mentioned strategies among the non-stressed professionals. Their typical resiliency factors included "cultivating the family" and "cultivating good relationships". It can be concluded that the variety of coping strategies and resilience factors were inversely related to labor stress. / Vários estudos têm demonstrado a importante relação entre estresse ocupacional e saúde. O presente estudo examina a adaptação de psicólogas - psicoterapeutas às características particulares do consultório como ambiente de trabalho. Participaram desta pesquisa 20 psicólogas. Foi aplicado o Inventário de Sintomas de Stress de Lipp e foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas questionando aspectos estressantes do ambiente de trabalho e efeitos percebidos sobre a saúde dessas profissionais. São examinados também seus esforços para lidar com demandas específicas do mesmo ambiente e os recursos que as auxiliam a superar as vivências adversas próprias do trabalho em consultório. Os resultados mostraram que 15 participantes não apresentavam sinais de estresse e 5 se encontraram na fase de resistência. As psicólogas estressadas não relataram fontes de estresse diferentes das psicólogas sem estresse, porém as não estressadas apresentaram uma maior variedade de repertórios de coping e fatores de resiliência. Divertir-se e praticar atividade física para recarregar foram os repertórios mais mencionados pelas profissionais sem estresse. Quanto aos fatores de resiliência destacou-se o cultivo da família e o cultivo de bons relacionamentos . Concluiu-se que a variedade de estratégias de coping e de fatores de resiliência estão inversamente proporcionais ao estresse ocupacional.

It is organized into three articles, being the first one is a systematic literature review, and the others, empirical research studies. The objective of the review was to present an overview of national and international productions on stress, leadership style, confrontation and instructors, based on articles published and indexed between the years 2005 and 2014. In 94 selected articles, it was observed that, despite the huge amount of papers about stress, leadership styles and coping, only a few dealt with the relationship between the influence of leadership styles and the stress generation in employees, especially those in higher education. Furthermore, there is a lack of papers that evaluates the strategies of psychological coping used by the employees who suffer stress due to the management style. Articles written in English were the closest studies to the scope of this research. Publications in Brazil are still incipient. Regarding the first empirical study, the objective was to identify the level of occupational stress, the stressors and the psychological coping strategies of 64 higher education teachers. The results presented low and medium levels of occupational stress, and the most frequent stressors were: insufficient time to achieve the workload; few prospects for career growth; anger with the deficiency in the trainings; and irritation with the little information about organizational decisions. The most used coping were: problem solving; social support; escape-avoidance; positive reassessment; and acceptance of responsibility. There was also a positive correlation between withdrawal and stress and escape-avoidance and stress. It was concluded that teachers have low and moderate levels of occupational stress. Regarding to coping, it was observed that the cognitive and behavioral efforts adopted manage the way teachers perceive what is happening around them. The second empirical research aimed to identify the level of occupational stress, personality factors also the correlation between occupational stress, personality and sociodemographic variables of 64 higher education teachers. The results pointed low and moderate levels of occupational stress. As a personality factor, neuroticism was the most found among teachers. In addition, there were no correlations between stress and ordinal sociodemographic data. Regarding the correlation between nominal sociodemographic data and personality factors, only the correlation between marital status and personality factors was observed, and neuroticism was the only factor that has not reached significance. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between the neuroticism factor and the stress. It was concluded that teachers are in low and moderate levels of stress, and that the study of personality factors is of extreme importance in order to create a quality of life program in a way directed to these professionals. / Esta dissertação buscou compreender o estresse, a personalidade e as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pelos docentes de uma instituição de ensino superior na cidade de Goiânia – Goiás. Está organizada em três artigos, sendo o primeiro uma revisão sistemática da literatura, e os demais, pesquisas empíricas. O objetivo da revisão foi apresentar um panorama das produções nacional e internacional sobre estresse, estilo de liderança, enfrentamento e docentes, com base em artigos publicados e indexados entre os anos de 2005 e 2014. Em 94 artigos selecionados, constatou-se que, apesar da extensa produção sobre estresse, estilos de liderança e enfrentamento, poucos versam sobre a relação entre a influência dos estilos de liderança e a geração do estresse em colaboradores, especialmente os do ensino superior. Além disso, existe escassez de trabalhos que avaliam as estratégias de enfrentamento psicológico utilizadas pelos colaboradores que sofrem estresse em virtude do estilo gerencial. Os estudos em língua inglesa foram os que mais se aproximaram do escopo desta pesquisa. As publicações no Brasil ainda são incipientes. Com relação ao primeiro estudo empírico, objetivou-se identificar o nível de estresse ocupacional, os estressores e as estratégias de enfrentamento psicológico de 64 docentes do ensino superior. Os resultados apresentaram níveis baixo e médio de estresse ocupacional, e os estressores mais frequentes foram: tempo insuficiente para realizar o volume de trabalho; poucas perspectivas de crescimento na carreira; incômodo com a deficiência nos treinamentos; e irritação com as poucas informações sobre decisões organizacionais. As estratégias de enfrentamento mais utilizadas foram: resolução de problemas; suporte social; fugaesquiva; reavaliação positiva; e aceitação de responsabilidade. Verificou-se também uma correlação positiva entre afastamento e estresse e fuga-esquiva e estresse. Concluiu-se que os docentes apresentam níveis baixo e moderado de estresse ocupacional. Já com relação às estratégias de enfrentamento, constatou-se que os esforços cognitivos e comportamentais adotados gerenciam o modo como os docentes percebem o que ocorrem ao seu redor. A segunda pesquisa empírica teve como objetivo identificar o nível de estresse ocupacional, os fatores de personalidade bem como a correlação entre estresse ocupacional, personalidade e variáveis sociodemográficas de 64 docentes do ensino superior. Os resultados apontaram para níveis baixo e moderado de estresse ocupacional. Como fator de personalidade, o neuroticismo foi o mais encontrado entre os professores. Além disso, não houve correlações entre o estresse e os dados sociodemográficos. Acerca da correlação entre os dados sociodemográficos e os fatores de personalidade, foi observada apenas a correlação entre o estado civil e os fatores de personalidade, sendo que o neuroticismo foi o único fator que não obteve significância. Ademais, houve correlação positiva entre o fator neuroticismo e o estresse. Concluiu-se que o estudo dos fatores de personalidade é de extrema importância para que se crie um programa de qualidade de vida de forma direcionada a esses profissionais.
