This study examines how healthcare communication professionals (HCPs) cope with workplace stress while working in an inherently stressful industry. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 HCPs (14 females, 3 males) from seven nonprofit and for-profit hospitals in the midwestern and eastern regions of the United States. Communication positions held by participants included marketing, media/community relations, public information, public relations, corporate communication, and social media. Interviews revealed HCPs use four strategies to cope with workplace stress: prioritizing, seeking colleague support, keeping perspective, and being active. HCPs primarily relied on employee-centered coping strategies, even though all sources of stress were organizationally-based (i.e., workload, lack of resources, client confidentiality). The majority of HCPs emphasized the benefits of using problem-centered (i.e., prioritizing) and emotion-centered (i.e., seeking colleague support) coping strategies. Although mentioned less often, HCPs utilized more avoidance-centered coping strategies (i.e., keeping perspective, being active). More importantly, they highlighted the benefits of using avoidance-centered strategies to help them mentally and physically disengage from workplace stress. Hospital administration should reassess if, and how, they help HCPs effectively cope with workplace stress (i.e., outlets, programs, professional development opportunities) in order to improve the well-being of HCPs and increase the likelihood of organizational success.

满足需求:医疗保健沟通专业人员应对工作压力的策略

这项研究探讨了医疗通讯专业人员(HCP)在固有压力行业工作时如何应对工作场所的压力。对来自美国中西部和东部地区的7家非营利性和营利性医院的17位HCP(分别为14位女性,3位男性)进行了深入,半结构化的采访。参与者担任的传播职务包括市场营销,媒体/社区关系,公共信息,公共关系,公司传播和社交媒体。访谈显示,HCP使用四种策略来应对工作场所的压力:确定优先顺序,寻求同事的支持,保持眼光和保持积极主动。即使所有压力源都是基于组织的(例如,工作量,资源不足,客户机密性),HCP仍然主要以员工为中心的应对策略。大多数HCP都强调使用以问题为中心(即优先排序)和以情绪为中心(即寻求同事支持)的应对策略的好处。尽管很少提及,但HCP使用了更多以回避为中心的应对策略(即保持观点,积极主动)。更重要的是,他们强调了使用以回避为中心的策略的好处,可以帮助他们在心理和身体上摆脱工作压力。医院管理部门应重新评估它们是否以及如何帮助HCP有效应对工作场所的压力(即门店,计划,专业发展机会),以改善HCP的幸福感并增加组织成功的可能性。寻求同事的支持)应对策略。尽管很少提及,但HCP使用了更多以回避为中心的应对策略(即保持观点,积极主动)。更重要的是,他们强调了使用以回避为中心的策略的好处,可以帮助他们在心理和身体上摆脱工作压力。医院管理部门应重新评估它们是否以及如何帮助HCP有效应对工作场所的压力(即门店,计划,专业发展机会),以改善HCP的幸福感并增加组织成功的可能性。寻求同事的支持)应对策略。尽管很少提及,但HCP使用了更多以回避为中心的应对策略(即保持观点,积极主动)。更重要的是,他们强调了使用以回避为中心的策略的好处,可以帮助他们在心理和身体上摆脱工作压力。医院管理部门应重新评估它们是否以及如何帮助HCP有效应对工作场所的压力(即门店,计划,专业发展机会),以改善HCP的幸福感并增加组织成功的可能性。他们强调了使用以回避为中心的策略的好处,可以帮助他们在心理和身体上摆脱工作场所的压力。医院管理部门应重新评估它们是否以及如何帮助HCP有效应对工作场所的压力(即门店,计划,专业发展机会),以改善HCP的幸福感并增加组织成功的可能性。他们强调了使用以回避为中心的策略的好处,可以帮助他们在心理和身体上摆脱工作场所的压力。医院管理部门应重新评估它们是否以及如何帮助HCP有效应对工作场所的压力(即门店,计划,专业发展机会),以改善HCP的幸福感并增加组织成功的可能性。
