Belief In Yourself Means Less Stress At Work
Care staff who believe in their own effectiveness in dealing with challenges at work are less likely to feel stressed and emotionally "burnt-out".

This is the finding of Dr Jan Oyebode and Brigid Duffy from the University of Birmingham who presented their findings on Friday 6 July 2007, at the Annual Conference for Psychology Specialists Working with Older People (PSIGE) - part of The British Psychological Society - at the University of Nottingham.

The research questioned 61 members of staff in a continuing care home for older people with dementia regarding their commitment to their job, emotional exhaustion and self-worth.

68.6% of those questioned were emotionally exhausted by work but the on average they felt able to cope with the stress. In fact the greater their belief that they could manage situations at work, the less the sense of emotional "burnout".

Dr Oyebode said: "These results imply that beliefs and perceptions of our effectiveness at work are especially important. If we approach challenging work situations with self-belief and self- confidence, we cope more effectively and we are able to retain our interest and motivation at work rather than becoming emotionally exhausted and 'burning out'.

"One implication is that intervening to raise staff's sense of self-worth would make a difference not only to their well-being but also to the care they provide for people with dementia."

Older People Cope Better With Illness

People over the age of 65 cope better with a stroke as they see this as a consequence of getting older.

This is the finding of Mrs Camilla Dyer of NHS Highland and the University of Edinburgh who presented her findings on Thursday 5 July, at the Annual Conference for Psychology Specialists Working with Older People (PSIGE) - part of The British Psychological Society - at the University of Nottingham.

The research aimed to further examine the findings of earlier studies that suggested a stroke is a family crisis and negatively affects 'family functioning'.

28 Stroke patients, aged 65 and over, and members of their family were compared to a control group of 28 older people without strokes and members of their family. Both were questioned regarding their family functioning, perceived quality of life, perceived social support and current mood.

Group comparisons revealed that participants from both the stroke and control groups reported healthy family functioning, good social support and low levels of anxiety and depression. The results suggest that previous research, which reported negative impact of a stroke on family functioning, is not necessarily found if the person with the stroke is over 65 years of age.

The findings also suggested that younger people who had experienced stroke reported a lower perceived quality of life than older people who had not had a stroke.
Mrs Dyer said: "People associate increased physical illness with ageing. The findings demonstrate that having a stroke might fit in with older people's expectations of what could happen. This expectation might lead older people to view their stroke as a consequence of growing old. Rather than this expectation having a negative impact on people's lives, it might actually act as a coping mechanism for dealing with the illnesses and losses that people are faced with in later life.

"Therefore older people may cope better than younger people with the effects of a stroke. This finding that older people may show strength and resilience in coping with physical illness is both an interesting and a positive one."
