  • Consideration of personal, cultural, and situational factors in stress response.

    • Main Results:

    • Muscle relaxation, cognitive reframing, and time management are effective individual techniques.
    • Verbalization and humor are effective interpersonal techniques, leveraging social support.
    • Situational assessment, timing, discretion, and selectivity are critical for effective strategy implementation.

    Conclusions:

    • A combination of individual and interpersonal strategies, tailored to the situation, is most effective for tension relief.
    • Nurses require knowledge of diverse tension reduction techniques for operating room settings.
    • A holistic lifestyle incorporating relaxation, exercise, time off, and proper nutrition is essential for preventing and reducing tension.
