Description

Healthcare organizations face ongoing challenges, including staff shortages, high rates of burnout, and a complex regulatory and financial environment. This book is among the first of its kind to introduce Polyvagal Theory (PVT), and how it explains human behavior 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 and workplace policies and procedures, providing significant benefit in both direct patient care and business aspects of any health care organization. Exploring the core tenets of PVT, this book equips healthcare providers and organizations 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.
