Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a life-saving procedure, but it can take a
toll on the mental and emotional well-being of those involved. It is considered one of the
most stressful experiences in nursing, which directly and indirectly leads to stressful
situations, fatigue, burnout and other physical and psychological problems. Purpose: The
aim of the thesis is to study the nurses coping with stress during cardiopulmonary
resuscitation and to define cardiopulmonary resuscitation and stress among nurses with the
help of scientific and professional domestic and foreign literature. Methods: In the
diploma thesis, we used a descriptive method with a review of domestic and foreign
professional and scientific literature. We searched for it in the bibliographic databases
ScienceDirect, PubMed, Cobib and Google Scholar. In the thesis, we used 61 units of
professional and scientific literature. Results: We found that the situations during
cardiopulmonary resuscitation that cause the most stress among nurses are mainly time
constraints, emotional situations and physical effort. The most common consequences of
stress in cardiopulmonary resuscitation among nurses are: reduced quality of work,
emotional stress, poor teamwork, health and safety consequences, post-traumatic stress
disorder and burnout. Discussion and conclusion: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation brings
negative consequences to nurses, as it causes a greater amount of stress that can lead to
various conditions such as burnout, disengagement, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc. It is
important that healthcare institutions advocate for the well-being of nurses and other
healthcare workers and provide assistance in such situations.
