[The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the relationship between stress and hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, furthermore to introduce an evidence based stress management intervention available in Hungary. The correlation between cardiovascular disease and psychosocial factors (including concomitant mental disorders as well as personality traits or the effect of social environment) has been established in numerous studies aimed at investigating pathogenesis or various clinical endpoints. The 2016 Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology include the assessment and the management of psychosocial problems with behavioral medicine interventions as a I.A level recommendation. The implementation of these guidelines in everyday clinical practice is crucial to decrease cardiovascular risk. This involves the training of health care professionals, the facilitation of multidisciplinary collaboration and the integration of behavioral intervention into everyday care. The Williams Life Skills (WLS) program is an evidence based behavioral medicine intervention aiming to improve stress management and communication skills which implemented internationally and also available all over Hungary. It involves the learning of simple coping strategies that facilitate the successful management of every day psychosocial stress situations and the self-conscious reduction of bodily and psychological tensions. In cardiovascular disease, this improves quality of life and survival. The WLS program is especially recommended for healthcare workers to decrease the negative health consequences of their high stress load and to prevent burnout. Stress may affect both doctors and patients during their interactions. Bálint groups have a positive impact on the physician-patient collaboration and help to reduce burnout by improving the understanding of the diseases from a more complex approach.]

[In our modern, globalized world, there is a significant increase in the number of events requiring immediate action where coordinating the rescue, health care and placement of several people at the same time. Unfortunately, we can count not only on international, but domestic relations, for various mass disaster threats and events, whether it is a natural disaster or a different form of artificial disaster. It is of the utmost importance to treat such a qualified situation in inpatient care and health care institutions, where there is a large number of patients and caregivers with limited self-reliance and movement. Although it is important to emphasize the importance of disaster prevention in the domestic context, in cases requiring immediate and rapid intervention, there is a great deal of responsibility and responsibility for nursing staff. By questionnaire surveys, we investigated the catastrophic and evacuation knowledge of inpatient care nurses and the system and method of acquiring these skills. After the results were processed, we concluded that our assumptions proved that the knowledge of the target group in question was very incomplete. In order to increase efficiency, we consider it of the utmost importance to develop a procedure based on unified principles but to adapt to the local conditions of the given institution and to develop its ability-based education system. ]

[INTRODUCTION - Survivors and witnesses of traffic accidents often experience an acute stress reaction. Immediate or at least fast psychological support, relieving the subjective suffering is very important in the respect of preventing psychological crisis, post-traumatic stress disorder or depression and the associated increasing risk of suicide. CASE REPORT - We present the case of a 27-year-old male patient who was the victim of a traffic accident and was partly responsible for it. He lost his mother in the accident, his sister was injured, and there was a casualty in the other affected car. He applied for a psychiatric appointment one week after the accident. He complained of insomnia, loss of appetite, sadness, weakness, anxiety. The treatment consisted of low-dose anxiolytic therapy, recommended in case of need, and a psychological support via acute stress protocol (G-tep) of EMDR therapy. Both short-term feedback from his family doctor and psychiatry outpatient follow-up after three weeks showed significant symptomatic improvement. CONCLUSIONS - In the last one and a half year, he has not applied for psychiatrical treatment. According his general practitioner there were no new psychological problems during this time. Our work has been successful in terms of immediate relief of suffering and prevention of psychological crisis and PTSD.]
