Burnout occurs as a result of chronic stress; it is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, deperson-alization of others, and perceptions of reduced personal accomplishment, resulting from intense involvement with people in a caregiving environment. The fight-or-flight response has been expanded on and is described as part of the general adapta-tion syndrome. Ineffective coping is defined as an inability to form a valid appraisal of the stressors, inadequate choices of practised responses, and/or inability to use available resources; this is not what the nurse is experiencing. Post-traumatic stress disorder occurs when a trauma's effects last well after the traumatizing event ends; this is not what the nurse is experiencing. |
