Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Science of Occupational Health is an evidence-based resource for all members of the health care team working with those affected by work-based stress. The authors offer a unique psychobiological perspective, discussing the modern workplace as a cause of stimulation and well-being, as well as of distress and illness. They provide a rigorous but highly accessible scientific account of the effects that stress has on mind and body, with key chapters on 'Responses to Stress', 'Stress-Related Health Problems', and 'Stress Hormones at Work'. |
