Symptoms of these disorders are often debilitating and affect the nurse's functioning on both a personal and professional level. While environmental and\/or organizational strategies are important to help combat stress, oftentimes the triggers experienced by nurses are non-modifiable including patient deaths, prolonging life in futile conditions, delivering post-mortem care and the feeling of contributing to a patient's pain and suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is paramount that nurses enhance their ability to adapt to their work environment.
