      Au quotidien, les aides-soignant(e)s sont fréquemment confrontés au stress. Il est, pour eux, indispensable de prendre du recul afin de gérer ce stress de manière efficace, de vivre avec et même d’en faire une ressource. Pour éviter d’en arriver à l’épuisement professionnel, ou burn-out, il est important de connaître les causes et l’impact de cet excès de stress, afin de proposer une prévention adéquate. Cet ouvrage montre les spécificités du stress des aides-soignants, qui sont confrontés, chaque jour, à la maladie, aux relations avec les patients, à leur hiérarchie et au monde hospitalier. Il permet également de comprendre les conséquences que ce stress peut avoir aussi bien sur le soignant lui-même que sur les soignés et l’entourage. Les auteurs analysent, avec des exemples concrets, les solutions qui peuvent être mises en place face aux situations présentées.
