Occupational stress has also been a long-standing concern in the health care industry. Studies indicate healthcare workers have higher rates of substance abuse and suicide than other industries, and elevated rates of depression and anxiety linked to job stress.
Other outcomes of job stress include burnout, absenteeism, employee churn, reduced patient satisfaction, and diagnosis and treatment errors. This course takes a closer look at the ways healthcare employees can help prevent violence and stress whilst at work.
