Module 4: Stress
As there is more demand on the clinical staff in a clinical practice setting, there is a need to address how the increase in that demand is affecting clinicians. Providing methods for recognizing the signs of burnout, managing work related tasks, coping with stress, increasing physical activity, improved nutritional intake, can assist in making better choices. Literature has shown that when providers make healthy choices, they pass on that knowledge to others, which can include the patient population.
