Abstract
Stress has been shown to be costly to both individuals and institutions. It produces psychosomatic disorders, poor mental health, alcoholism, and drug abuse in individuals, and is costly to institutions in terms of absenteeism, tardiness, sabotage, and turnover. Most importantly, stress jeopardizes the professional's ability to provide high quality care to patients.
