In western countries, up to 45% of nurses suffer burnout which is related in part to high workloads (Kowalski, Ommen, Driller et al., 2010). In addition, Emotional stress has a negative impact on both physiological and psychological wellbeing. While we need some stress to achieve optimal performance in our lives, too much stress is counterproductive for successful participation in daily life (Hogan, 2013). Thus the individual needs to monitor their stress levels to achieve a balance of physical, psychological and emotional wellness (Hogan, 2013) and, if necessary to seek professional advice.
