AB This survey reveals high levels of job-related stress among social
workers, counselors and health educators working with HIV/AIDS patients
in five large, urban medical centers. Stress is associated not only with
the severity of AIDS as a disease, but also with several organizational
characteristics of respondents' job sites. The availability and
usefulness of several on-site, stress-reduction strategies are explored.
Overall, where services such as stress-reduction workshops, support
groups, and rotations away from direct patient care are offered, workers
participate in them and perceive them as useful in reducing job-related
stress. Interest in these and other stress-reduction services is high
among those who do not currently have them available.
