HeBA.One FOR PERSON
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 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.
