When you are subjected to stressful situations for a long period of time, you run the risk of developing a burn-out. A burn-out means that you are unable to function for a long time –not only at work, but also at home. Stress can be caused by high task demands, too little autonomy at work, harassment by co-workers or supervisors, or undesirable behaviour within or outside the organisation.
Do you experience stress at work? Or do you worry that you may be headed towards a burn-out?
Seek help now. You can for instance contact the University doctor. Anything you discuss with the doctor will remain confidential. He or she can help you find a solution that suits your situation.
The University doctors of the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) department can be contacted via telephone number 071 527 8015.
