Targeting the unique set of stressors found in health care work environments, this unique, practical resource describes the impact of stress and other triggers and the resulting adverse physiological and behavioral responses in these facilities, and presents evidence-based strategies to help health care professionals cope with unhealthy work environments.

The book describes the characteristics of health care work environments that promote stress at personal and organizational levels, and their impact on the mental health of individuals working in them. It offers insight into individual and group dynamics and the role of management in fostering both healthy and unhealthy work environments.
