“…This contention is supported by the findings of numerous studies of nurses who are not recent graduates [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and workers other than nurses [30][31][32]. These findings corroborate the fact that SOC is an important concept for new graduate nurses to actively work while exposed to a great deal of occupational stressor.…”

The current research conducted a longitudinal study of new graduate nurses at 3 times-prior to their employment as nurses and 3 months and 1 year afterward. This study yielded 3 findings. 1) The mental health of new graduate nurses significantly worsens 3 months after employment as a nurse and mental health 1 year after employment as a nurse was significantly worse than that before employment. 2) A sense of coherence (SOC) is the ability to cope with stressors, and the 3 components of SOC decreased significantly in the year after employment as a nurse.3) The mental health of new graduate nurses was significantly affected by a low SOC and by previous diminishing of SOC. Findings suggested the importance of support to sustain and improve the mental health of new graduate nurses and the importance of approaches in the workplace to encourage the development of SOC.

“…There is a commonly held belief that social work is a highly stressful occupation as a result of conflicting roles, status, functions and contexts (Dillon, 1990;Gilbar, 1998;Rushton, 1987). In the health system there has been increasing emphasis on instrumental outcomes and throughput and decreasing emphasis on the worth of the individual.…”

“…Social workers have previously been identified as being at risk of experiencing stress and burnout (Acker, 1999;Egan, 1993;Gilbar, 1998;Sze & Ivker, 1986;Um & Harrison, 1998). Social work is strongly client-based, with workers being involved in complex social situations.…”

Stress and burnout for health care professionals have received increasing attention in the literature. Significant administrative, societal and political changes have impacted on the role of workers and the responsibilities they are expected to assume. Most writers suggest that social work is a highly stressful occupation, with stress deriving in particular from role conflict between client advocacy and meeting agency needs. This article reviewed the social work literature with two questions in mind: Are social workers subject to greater stress than other health professionals? What factors contribute to stress and burnout among social workers? We found that most of the literature was either anecdotal or compared social worker stress with general population norms rather than with stress levels of workers in comparable professions. Such empirical research as is available suggests that social workers may experience higher levels of stress and resulting burnout than comparable occupational groups. Factors identified as contributing to stress and burnout included the nature of social work practice, especially tension between philosophy and work demands and the organization of the work environment. There was some evidence that supervision and team support are protective factors.

“…From the very rst description of the phenomenon by Freudenberger (1974), burnout has been connected with "human service workers," that is, professionals who work for and with people, for instance staff caring for the elderly (Cherniss, 1980(Cherniss, , 1995Gilbar, 1998;Ogus, 1990;Plante & Bouchard, 1995;Schaufeli, 1990;Williams, 1989). Despite that young people enthusiastically begin their rst job in elder care, in the rst year many of them suffer from burnout symptoms (Cherniss, 1980).…”
