Controlling Anger, Avoidng
Outbursts, Handling Stress Effectively, Communicating Appropriately
The display of strong emotion and especially anger
is a frequent challenge to a health care healing and working
environment. Half of nurses surveyed reported knowing colleagues
who had left a previous position due to anger events between
doctors and nurses. Medical malpractice companies report
increased rates of malpractice actions as a consequence
of physicians demonstrating anger to patients or families.
State Medical Societies report that non-substance abuse
physician disruptive behaviors result in 1/3 of all complaints
received about doctors. Working in the current health care
system can produce increased levels of frustration, stress
and angry outbursts. |
