Abstract

The Nursing Staff is a group exposed to high levels of occupational stress. Coping strategies act as mediator variables between the stress perceived and its negative consequences, such as the Burnout Syndrome. The objectives of this article are to define the concept of coping strategies and their classification, to expose the empirical evidence found in nursing research, and to describe the main interventions for their development. Said interventions are: specific workshops or programs for the development of adaptive coping strategies (based on clinical simulation), and strengthening social support, relaxation techniques, change in wrong cognitions, and briefing sessions or meetings. Said interventions should be promoted from universities and healthcare institutions, because this would not only make it easier for nursing professionals to alleviate and minimize the negative consequences of occupational stress, but would also improve their daily clinical practice.
