Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease

25
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Obedience

32.7K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Stress Concentrations

224
The concept of stress concentration is crucial for understanding how materials respond under bending stresses, particularly when there are irregularities or discontinuities in the material's geometry. Normally, stress in a symmetric member subjected to pure bending is assumed to be uniformly distributed across the entire cross-section. However, this assumption does not hold when there are variations in the cross-sectional geometry or the presence of notches and holes.
The stress...

Introduction to Stress and Lifestyle01:27

Introduction to Stress and Lifestyle

78
Stress is a multifaceted response to events perceived as challenging or threatening, highlighting physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions. Physically, stress can lead to fatigue, sleep disruptions, and various health issues such as frequent colds, chest pains, and nausea. Emotionally, it can manifest as anxiety, depression, irritability, and anger triggered by both minor and major life events. Cognitively, it may result in difficulty in concentration, memory, and...

Summary

High visibility of patients and coworkers in intensive care units (ICUs) can reduce work stress for nurses. Designing ICUs with better visibility may improve the nursing work environment and mitigate job demands.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Significant investments are made in ICU construction and renovation.
  • There is a lack of understanding regarding the impact of the physical ICU layout on nurse work stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationships between visibility (coworker and patient), reactions to the physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses.
  • To investigate the role of the built environment in the occupational health of critical care nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, and predictive research design.
  • Study conducted on a diverse sample of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.

Main Results:

  • Visibility was found to have a direct effect on work stress (P < 0.01).
  • The Visibility, Physical Environment and Stress (ViPES) model effectively explains the relationships among the studied variables.
  • High visibility acts as a job resource, while low visibility functions as a job demand for ICU nurses.

Conclusions:

  • Design elements that foster a sense of connection are crucial, particularly for less experienced ICU nurses.
  • Incorporating features that enhance visibility of both patients and colleagues can help alleviate work stress in the ICU setting.
