According to psychoanalyst Menzies Lyth, the idea that nurses and other hospital staff dehumanize and detach themselves from individuals under their care was initially studied in the principles of psychoanalysis. Following around four years ethnographic studies within various teaching hospitals, researchers have argued that nurses develop an unconscious defence mechanism to cope up with their “primitive anxieties” stimulated as an after influence of working with individuals who were dying or ill. This type of analysis also asserted the fact that nurses’ defence mechanism in hospitals, not only failed to identify the anxiety level within workers but, not fruitful to offer them with enough reassurance and work satisfaction, it also influences secondary anxiety. Although, the results were much-admired by different researchers in medical studies, they did not interpret into significant changes for hospital staff. In 2009, studies in this area underlined that it was essentially because of the absence of effective solutions for nurses regarding what should be done about reduction of the stress level.
