NUR 386 Stress Management for Healthcare Providers

In this seminar course, students take a multifaceted, holistic approach to understanding and managing stress. They explore the physical, psychosocial, and environmental aspects of stress in modern society as well as its impact upon health and human behavior. Students bring their knowledge of both health assessment and basic physiology to bear on their examination of the psychophysiology (mind-body connection) that links stress and illness. Students also explore selected evidence-based approaches to managing stress which can be applied in their personal lives and in the context of their role as health care providers. Such approaches include specific mind-body techniques and lifestyle modification strategies. Prerequisite:
