Providing care to those in need brings great meaning and purpose to nursing professionals. But nursing can also come with physical and emotional demands that create stressful environments. Nurses who are working hard to provide quality care for patients may struggle to manage stress when faced with busy schedules and exacting responsibilities.

Finding ways to manage stress is essential for nurses to stay healthy and satisfied with their important work. Stress management techniques for nurses include deep breathing, meditation, and exercise. Nurses might also explore sleep management and therapy techniques.

Nurse leaders should keep in mind the importance of nurse scheduling in managing stress. They can also help nurses by being role models for self-care and by reminding staff members that self-care is vital to caring for others.

1. Using Deep Breathing for Stress Management

While it may seem trivial, how people breathe has a profound impact on their health. Engaging in deep breathing can be an effective way to reduce stress and anxiety. It can also improve lung function, blood pressure, and other elements of health.

One of the benefits of breathing techniques is that they can be used at any time, anywhere to help reduce stress symptoms. Breathing techniques also can be practiced for five to 15 minutes for greater benefits. To accomplish this, it’s important to:

• Schedule breathing sessions within daily routines, picking a consistent time each day
• Choose a specific place that is quiet, comfortable, and easy to access
• Make sure to dress comfortably

  Deep breathing involves taking extended breaths all the way into the belly, avoiding the short, shallow chest breaths that can trigger anxiety and fatigue. Deep breathing for stress management typically involves breathing through the nose instead of the mouth and often uses counting techniques. Some of the breathing techniques that have been developed to reduce stress include:

• 4-7-8 technique: Breathe in for four seconds with the nose, hold for seven, and breathe out for eight through the mouth.
• Belly breathing: Place one hand on the belly and one on the chest, feeling the belly move and the chest remain still while breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
• Breath focus: Use a picture or phrase to aid in relaxation, such as picturing the air as calmness.
• Equal time: Count the breaths in equal time, such as five seconds, for inhaling and exhaling.
• Modified lion’s breath: Breathe in through the nose, and out through a wide open mouth with a “ha” sound.
• Progressive muscle relaxation: Tense and relax muscle groups in succession while breathing in and out.

2. Implementing Meditation for Stress Management Techniques

Meditation is another powerful tool to help nurses relax and reduce stress levels. It can be helpful to find a calm, quiet place to meditate, but it’s not always necessary. Some meditation techniques can be utilized in any environment, whenever stress starts to manifest. If nurses are struggling to find a relaxing space or with blocking out external distractions, there are classes, videos, recordings, and mobile apps that can help guide them through the process.
