Psychological Responses to Stress01:20

Psychological Responses to Stress

26
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

86
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Introduction
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.

Stress Response System01:21

Stress Response System

34
The stress response system, also known as the fight-or-flight response, is the body's automatic physiological reaction to perceived threats. Hans Selye introduced the concept of General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) to describe the predictable pattern of changes that occur in response to stress. GAS consists of three sequential stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. This model helps explain how chronic stress can contribute to health problems.
Alarm stage
In the alarm stage, the body's...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Psychology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Resuscitation is a high-stress event for healthcare professionals.
  • No validated tool existed in Türkiye to measure perceived stress during resuscitation.
  • Developing such a tool is crucial for understanding and mitigating nurse stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the Perceived Stress During Resuscitation Scale (PSDRS).
  • To validate the psychometric properties of the PSDRS among emergency nurses in Türkiye.

Main Methods:

  • A 52-item Likert-type scale was developed based on literature and expert reviews.
  • Psychometric properties were assessed using item analysis, EFA, CFA, validity, and reliability studies.
  • Data were collected from 348 emergency nurses across 11 Turkish hospitals.

Main Results:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a 27-item scale with 7 sub-dimensions.
  • The scale addresses factors like working conditions, ethical issues, authority, resuscitation outcomes, and patient/relative interactions.
  • The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.891, indicating high reliability.

Conclusions:

  • The Perceived Stress During Resuscitation Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for emergency nurses.
  • The scale can identify key stressors during resuscitation.
  • Findings will inform the development of targeted support strategies for nurses.
