TONL News & Updates

As nurses and healthcare providers endure high levels of stress, compassion fatigue and resiliency, it is critical for leaders to identify stress injury and provide resources. Psychological stress over time can cause stress injury. Stress injury is defined as “any severe and persistent distress or loss of ability to function caused by damage to the brain, mind, or spirit after exposure to the overwhelming stressors of fatigue, burnout, trauma, loss, or moral injury” (Shanafelt, Stolz, Springer, Murphy, Bohman, & Trockel, 2020). Left untreated, stress injury can cause severe distress and lead to more serious stress injuries which can be a precursor to medical errors, exit from practice, depression or even suicide. Identifying stress injury and providing resources as needed will make a difference. This article will discuss the Stress First Aid (SFA) Stress Continuum Model to identify and address early signs of stress reactions and the SFA Model.
