HeBA.One FOR PERSON
Work stress
When the result counts
What do we offer?
Work stress can have very serious consequences for a person’s health. In the case of a short-term stressor, the health effects may be temporary and quickly recede. If the stressor affects the employee for a long time, however, it can lead to a loss of capacity for work.
Typical health effects include: headache, attention and memory impairments, decreased productivity, sleep disturbances, fatigue, anxiety, burnout, decreased immunity, increased susceptibility to diseases, and the exacerbation of chronic diseases and mood disorders. The conscious management of work stressors and work helps keep employees happy, productive, and satisfied.
Mental health nurse visit
What solutions does it offer?
Mental health problems are often hidden and show up as physical complaints. It is advisable to see a mental health nurse as soon as negative or disturbed feelings and behaviours start to interfere with everyday life.
The mental health nurse will carry out an initial mental health assessment and a health risk assessment at the appointment. The nurse helps to identify the need for further referral and works closely with the family or occupational physician, psychiatrist and psychologist. The nurse counsels clients and their relatives on mental health issues and health behaviour. The nurse teaches a range of breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to cope with stress, anxiety and tension. The nurse motivates and supports clients in their treatment journey.
Do it yourself
Mental health is something you can most influence yourself. Sometimes all it takes is a good piece of advice or a tip. Other times, self-help can help you while you wait to see a doctor. Most often, it is good to combine self-care with consultation with a specialist and other solutions.
Here are some pointers to different self-help options for dealing with work stress.
Have a look and choose the one that suits you.
Evaluate your mental wellbeing
Mental health problems are often hidden and show up as physical complaints. By completing mental health questionnaires, you can get an immediate assessment of your mental health and a personalised mental health plan will be drawn up.
