Managing Occupational Health Issues through Coaching, Emerging Perspectives from Emergency and Intensive Care Nurses: A Mixed-Method Study.

(1) Background: Emergency and intensive care nurses are among the health professionals most exposed to occupational health issues such as stress and burnout, etc. Coaching has been considered a useful preventative strategy to provide better support for professionals. This study has two objectives: the first objective is to identify the coaching needs of emergency and intensive care nurses, and the second is to propose a coaching model that addresses the needs and helps manage occupational health issues.

A Pilot Study to Assess the Effect of Coaching on Emergency Nurses' Stress Management.

(1) Background: Emergency nurses are more exposed to a wider range of stressors, resulting in higher levels of burnout, reducing the quality of nursing care, and decreasing job satisfaction compared with other peers in other nursing departments. The objective of the current pilot research is to evaluate the efficiency of a transtheoretical coaching model on emergency nurses' occupational stress management through a coaching intervention. (2) Materials and Methods: An interview, Karasek's stress questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), an observation grid, and a one-group Pre-test-Post-test questionnaire was carried out to evaluate the changes in emergency nurses' knowledge and their ability to manage stress before and after attending the coaching intervention.
