ObjectivesTo determine whether there is a significant stress response to the Newborn Life Support airway test (NLSAT) among healthcare professionals in the UK.DesignQuantitative study measuring both stress and anxiety of candidates on Newborn Life Support (NLS) courses measuring salivary cortisol levels along with validated anxiety questionnaires (State Trait Anxiety Inventory).SettingUK NLS course centres.Participants80 healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors and midwives) on NLS courses.InterventionsStress levels measured (cortisol swabs and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)) at baseline, immediately before and 20 min after starting the NLSAT.ResultsCortisol measurements failed to detect any significant rise in stress levels as a result of the NLSAT. Significant anxiety was induced by the NLSAT based on STAI scores. STAI scores rose significantly in all professionals from baseline to post-NLSAT, with the greatest change detected for midwives (+11.82 (SD 7.64, p<0.001)) compared with nurses (+8.86 (SD 12.1, p<0.001)) and doctors (+7.96 (SD 2.9.69, p<0.001)). Experience had no impact on stress levels.ConclusionsAnxiety levels induced by the NLSAT are significant and should be considered when instructing and developing the NLS course.

ABSTRACT This study was aimed at investigating the association between the stress levels of nursing students and their sociodemographic and academic characteristics. This quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in four Brazilian higher education Institutions. Data were collected from April 2011 to March 2012, using a sociodemographic and academic tool form for the students and the Assessment of Stress Among Nursing Students. 705 students participated and the results showed a predominance of medium stress levels, followed by high stress levels. Statistically significant differences were found for stress and age group, institution type (public/private), work activity, satisfaction with the course and if the student had ever thought of dropping out of the course. This study showed that education is assessed as a stressor and that there is an association between the nursing students' characteristics and the stress level.

Abstract Introduction While some stress is a common part of everyday work for most people, higher or prolonged levels of stress might be harmful. Work-related stress is becoming a study subject because of its important implications: it is related to coronary heart disease and health in general and it also influences employee satisfaction and productivity. Because of this, workers should be aware of their stress levels in order to prevent disease and increase performance levels. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate stress levels among employees. Methods We conducted an observational study in collaboration with Anteo, an onlus society based in Biella which employs more than 1000 workers. The first step of our study ran from December 2019 to February 2020, and included 300 workers. Informed consent was gathered trough structure chiefs prior to the intervention. We administered an online questionnaire based on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) for screening than, subjects with a high perceived stress level were invited for a personal interview with our medical and psychological staff. Results The response rate was 31% with 94 questionnaires completed by the end of February 2020. 80% of respondents were women (75 out of 94). 17% of the employees presented a moderate to high level of stress (16 total, 72% women). Only 5% of workers presented a high level of stress (4 total, 50% women). All Patients presenting a high level of perceived stress went through medical and psychological evaluation, which confirmed the results in 88% cases (14 out of 16). Conclusions Our study evidenced that workers are often exposed to high levels of stress, which can influence health, everyday life as well as productivity. The introduction of stress management programs in companies could improve workers health and productivity having a positive impact on one's health, company productivity and society in general. Key messages The introduction of stress management programs might improve workers health and productivity. The introduction of stress management programs might have a positive impact on one’s health, company productivity and society in general.
