The minimum 2500 words exclude the title, references, and abstract.

Remember that this paper is a THEORETICAL PAPER. YOU HAVE TO
GROUND THE PAPER IN A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK. This paper is supposed to answer one of the questions below – THROUGH THE USE OF
THEORY. The topic I chose to do the paper on is listed below:

Option 3:
In Chapter 12, we talked about stress. Stress is a common phenomenon in healthcare. Write about stress
in healthcare and the impact it can have on employees, organizational performance, the delivery of patient
care, etc. Identify and describe the different kinds of stress that can occur. Discuss why stress in a
healthcare environment may be more of a pressing issue as compared to other industries (be sure to
address factors, such as, professional hierarchy, personalities, ethnicity, gender, etc.). Describe if / how employee burnout (due to stress) is impacting the delivery of care. Find a theory to explore the issue of
stress. Once you have written about stress in the workplace, identify some best practices to alleviate the
negative effects of stress in the workplace. How should managers behave so that employees experience
less stress on the job? Ground all your work in existing theory. What strategies can the organization
use so that the employees experience less stress on the job? This write-up has to be supported by current
facts and literature.

Possible Deliverables for Option 3
– What does the healthcare environment look like currently?
– Why is stress more prevalent in healthcare? What impact can it have on an organization,
employees, and patients.
