The health-related consequences of stress in hospital workers and associated costs of absenteeism and high turnover have increased the need for programs targeting stress in this population. "Caring for the Caregivers," a multimodal approach to stress-reduction designed to address the multidimensional nature of stress in hospital staff, integrates five components: cognitive, somatic, dynamic, emotive and hands-on, in a flexible eight-month format. Significant improvements were demonstrated for 97 participants compared to 67 controls in pre-post scores for the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Job-Related Tension Index, Perceived Stress Scale, Productivity Scale, General Health Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and Visual Analogue Scales of 12 stress-associated symptoms. Together with significant reduction in upper respiratory infections and family doctor visits, these results suggest that providing hospital staff with multiple techniques addressing commonly encountered work stressors impacts positively on health and well-being and significantly reduces stress and burnout in this population.
医院工作人员压力对健康产生的后果以及旷工和高离职率带来的相关成本，增加了针对这一人群开展压力应对项目的必要性。“关爱护理人员”是一种旨在应对医院工作人员压力多维度特性的多模式减压方法，它融合了认知、躯体、动态、情感和实践五个组成部分，以灵活的八个月形式呈现。与67名对照组相比，97名参与者在马氏职业倦怠量表、工作相关紧张指数、感知压力量表、生产力量表、一般健康问卷、正负性情绪量表以及12种与压力相关症状的视觉模拟量表的前后测分数上有显著改善。再加上上呼吸道感染和家庭医生就诊次数的显著减少，这些结果表明，为医院工作人员提供多种应对常见工作压力源的技巧，对他们的健康和幸福有积极影响，并能显著减轻这一人群的压力和职业倦怠。
