Book Description
O exercício da profissão de enfermagem é reconhecidamente estressante, pois é significativa a influência do trabalho no comportamento humano e também a carga de stress quando se tem a percepção de que o trabalho apresenta demandas, certas vezes, maiores do que as possibilidades de executá-los. A finalidade deste trabalho é determinar o nível de stress e o estado de saúde dos enfermeiros atuantes em unidade de emergência. A população estudada foi constituída por 73 enfermeiros de unidade de emergência de instituições hospitalares do município de São Paulo, com atendimento especializado em neurocirurgia, ortopedia e cardiologia. Os dados foram coletados utilizando-se os questionários de avaliação do Estado de Saúde, composto por 46 itens e a Escala Bianchi de Stress, modificada para melhor adequação aos objetivos propostos, constituídos por 57 itens e 3 questões abertas, versando sobre as atividades desempenhadas pelos enfermeiros. Os resultados apresentados caracterizam a população como pertencente ao sexo feminino, com faixa etária compreendida entre 20 a 30 anos, com uma média de 4,30 anos de trabalho na unidade. Verificou-se que a população apresentou médio nível de stress com escore médio de 3,69, sendo as atividades relacionadas as condições de trabalho para o desempenho das atividades de enfermeiro e à administração de pessoal consideradas como as mais estressantes. O estado de saúde apresentou-se como regular, apesar da p.

Book Description
O estresse é consequente da concepção de estímulos que provocam excitação emocional e confusão da homeostase, sucedendo, assim, em processos adaptativos caracterizados por distúrbios psicológicos e fisiológicos. Nesse pressuposto, o estresse no trabalho é consequência de aglomerados fenômenos que se manifestam no organismo, conseguindo afetar a saúde, e apresentando diferentes respostas entre os indivíduos. No contexto dos serviços de saúde, os profissionais de enfermagem são submetidos a situações desgastantes pela proximidade com os pacientes e pelas atividades desempenhadas e/ou pelos aspectos próprios do ambiente de trabalho e sua organização. Sendo assim, esses profissionais estão particularmente expostos a elevados níveis de pressão e estresse. No âmbito da saúde, uma temática cada vez mais crescente e inquietante é o estresse, especialmente quando o enfoque é a unidade de urgência e emergência, local que exige pronta e efetiva interferência frente à instabilidade clínica do paciente. Os profissionais vivenciam constantemente o estresse no trabalho, pois é uma área que exige do profissional total controle e o paciente e família encontram-se em extrema fragilidade, colaborando para o crescimento dos níveis estressores e, posteriormente, esgotamento físico e mental do enfermeiro.

Book Description
As a society, we have made amazing gains in being able to detect and treat cancer. Even so, about half the people who are told by their doctors that they have cancer will die within a few years. This means that every year about one million people find out that they have cancer and are treated, and about one-half million people die of cancer nationwide. So far, most cancer research and treatment has focused on trying to cure cancer. There hasn't been much attention paid to other important issues, such as pain control and taking care of other troubling symptoms. Now more and more people are aware that there are cancer care needs beyond just trying to cure it. Attention is now being paid to helping people with cancer cope better with the problems that may arise when people are being treated or as they approach death.

Book Description
This book focuses on how to formulate a mental health response with respect to the unique elements of pandemic outbreaks. Unlike other disaster psychiatry books that isolate aspects of an emergency, this book unifies the clinical aspects of disaster and psychosomatic psychiatry with infectious disease responses at the various levels, making it an excellent resource for tackling each stage of a crisis quickly and thoroughly. The book begins by contextualizing the issues with a historical and infectious disease overview of pandemics ranging from the Spanish flu of 1918, the HIV epidemic, Ebola, Zika, and many other outbreaks. The text acknowledges the new infectious disease challenges presented by climate changes and considers how to implement systems to prepare for these issues from an infection and social psyche perspective. The text then delves into the mental health aspects of these crises, including community and cultural responses, emotional epidemiology, and mental health concerns in the aftermath of a disaster. Finally, the text considers medical responses to situation-specific trauma, including quarantine and isolation-associated trauma, the mental health aspects of immunization and vaccination, survivor mental health, and support for healthcare personnel, thereby providing guidance for some of the most alarming trends facing the medical community. Written by experts in the field, Psychiatry of Pandemics is an excellent resource for infectious disease specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, immunologists, hospitalists, public health officials, nurses, and medical professionals who may work patients in an infectious disease outbreak.

Book Description
This book addresses the lifelong effects of racism, covering its social, psychological, family, community and health impacts. The studies brought together in this contributed volume discuss experiences of discrimination, prejudice and exclusion experienced by children, young people, adults, older adults and their families; the processes of socialization, emotional regulation and construction of ethnic-racial identities; and stress-producing events associated with racism. This volume intends to contribute to a growing international effort to develop an antiracist agenda in developmental psychology by showcasing studies developed mainly in Brazil, the country with the largest black population in the world outside of Africa. Racism as an ideology that structures social relations and attributes superiority to one race over the others have developed in different ways in different countries. As a response to the 2020 social and health crisis, some North American developmental psychologists have started promoting initiatives to openly challenge racism. This book intends to contribute to this movement by bringing together studies conducted mainly in Brazil, but also in Germany and Norway, that adopt a racially informed approach to different topics in developmental psychology. Racism and Human Development intends to be an inspiration to students, scholars and practitioners who are seeking tools and examples of studies of race and racism from a developmental perspective. The establishment of an antiracist agenda in developmental psychology will never be possible without a commitment to the study of race as an indispensable social marker of human ontogeny in any society. This book is another step towards racial equity and towards a developmental science that leaves no one behind.
