Moderators of Stress


Certain situational and individual difference factors will help determine whether the change effort at your facility will be particularly stressful and lead to burnout. If you have plenty of time, money, equipment, supplies , and support, you are likely to be able to handle more sources of stress. Keep in mind that certain individuals will be greatly affected by the stress and others may not even notice it. The personality trait known as "hardiness" moderates the degree of reaction to stressors. Don't assume it is good to be hardy. Some people are thick-headed in addition to be thick- skinned when it comes to potentially stressful situations. They don't even realize that they should be nervous about the situation. It should also be mentioned that those people without supportive friends and co-workers and those who value self-sufficiency so much that they won't turn to others in stressful situationsare more likely to suffer from stressful situations.
