Description
Healthcare organisations face ongoing challenges, including staff shortages, high rates of burnout, and a complex regulatory and financial environment. Using Polyvagal Theory to Optimize Healthcare Excellence is among the first of its kind to introduce Polyvagal Theory (PVT), and how it explains human behaviour under stress.
Understanding human responses to stressful situations holds significant value in enhancing patient care and operational efficiency, leading to happier staff, increased productivity, and decreased costs. PVT can be widely applied, including in human resources as well as workplace policies and procedures, providing significant benefit in both direct patient care and business aspects of any healthcare organisation.
Exploring the core tenets of PVT, this book equips healthcare providers and organisations with the knowledge to understand and apply this theory effectively. Featuring easy-to-understand exercises which can be applied in any setting, this is an essential guide for all healthcare providers seeking to implement PVT into their policies, procedures, and clinical interventions.
