This study will comprise a systematic literature review of the available published research concerning each sector and compare them.The research objectives are:• To examine the approaches used for the treatment of stress within the military, police and NHS nursing sectors in the UK.• To compare these approaches and account for differences.• To make any recommendations that may emerge from the data concerning the effective availability of treatment for stress in each sector.BackgroundStress has been understood as a component of military service, both as occurring during active service, and as a component of post-traumatic stress for ex-servicemen and women (Rona et al., 2009a, pp.649-55; Rona et al., 2009b, p.11). Stress has not been as clearly recognised as a component of working in the police or nursing sectors (Green, 2004, p.101; Paton et al., 2009, p.7; McVicar, 2003, p.633). There are broad similarities to the ways in which stress has been encountered in these sectors, but the methods of treatment have often varied. In the police forces, educational initiatives and help lines have only recently become de rigeur (Green, 2004, p.101). Studies of post-traumatic disorder among police officers are particularly rare (ibid.). Some of the reasons for this variation can be the difference between how stress is understood between different police forces, or the fact that whereas the presence of stress is clear, its causes are not (Dick, 2009, p.182; Lucas, et al., 2012, p.1426). Likewise, in nursing, stress is identified as a component of the working environment, but methods by which this can be reduced or treated are less prevalent (Ulrich et al. 2010, p. 2510; McVicar, 2003, p.633; Mark & Smith, 2010, p.505). Studies have tended to focus on the ways in which stress is caused in these sectors, and less on what can be done to treat or alleviate it.
