Physicians probably have some of the hardest news to hide during their employment. They have to deliver horrible news to unlucky individuals that are seen by them. While after a while this becomes a practiced art by the physician, it does not become any less of a burden on their daily lives. It can affect the physician daily, and become a conscience burden on their lives. Example of Stress and Burnout: Health Care Professions This occupation sees more of the stress and burnout than pretty much any other job.
With the emotional toll of not saving individuals lives, patient dissatisfaction, ND long driving hours, it can easily been seen why. With all of this weighing on their everyday minds, the need to respond and act quickly also starts to dissipate. The average shift for someone in this occupation is 12 hours, stress and burnout is seen quite heavily. While other shifts are 8 hour rotation, majority of them are seen needing to cross shift, and this causes instances of chronic fatigue, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion.
Example of Work-Life conflict This is a major issue in just about all occupations. The job is always on the mind, what could you have done to do better weighs the individual down, and why this eave to happen on my shift, is often questions that go through everyone’s minds. Always lived by the saying “leave work at the door”, and found it is not even close to an easy thing to do. Something’s you just cannot leave at the door and this now starts to take a toll on your everyday life. I think that this is one of the most common issues and majority of the people will encounter this.
Dealing with it however, is not as easy as it happening. Solutions Emotional Labor can’t say that I have any real “ground breaking” solutions to this because this does not happen to me. I can emotionally cut myself off when dealing with a job and I would suggest individuals with this issue should as well. I know it’s not as easy as it sounds for some but it needs to be done if you want to stay sane. If it cannot be done, then you might want to consider a job that is not emotionally involved.
Stress and Burnout have gone through this as a manager working 12 hour shifts and dealing with a wide variety of personalities. I made sure to take vacation time right before “heavy traffic” seasons to make sure I was clear minded and relaxed. Would suggest to these individuals to get out of the house. Go to a baseball game, city event, or any recreational event to take your mind off of work. Hanging out with friends and having something as simple as a movie night could do wonders for your mind and body.
It all pretty much boils down to allowing your mind a chance to reboot the events that happened over the course of the day, and allowing your body the chance it needs to recuperate the energy spent. Work-Life Conflict have no tricks or ideas for this issue. It happens to me all the time and no amount of recreational events can force my mind to shut off. It does help to et together with friends to “blow’ off the steam accumulated throughout the day, but it does not 100% work getting your mind to just forget.
If there was a simple trick to this I believe this would not be an on-going researched matter. It effects majority of the population and hits some individuals so hard they turn into hermits, or worse, paranoid. I do not believe in “medical” pills as a solution, so I would still say what always say about this issue; some good fresh air could do wonders after work. Once again, get out of the house and go do something, f that is not possible, try watching a comedy movie that will help you lighten the load off your mind.
