Download or read book Assessment of the Impact of Compassion Satisfaction Resilience Support and Self care Practices in Preventing Or Mitigating the Development of Secondary Traumatic Stress Vicarious Traumatization Compassion Fatigue and Burnout on Nurses and Physicians in an Advanced Network of Care Hospital in the Midwest written by Renita Ann Mercado-Heinzl and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examines how physicians’ and nurses’ exposure to trauma through caring for patients impacts the development of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious traumatization, compassion fatigue, and burnout. The degree to which specific protective factors can mitigate and/or prevent the development of these traumas of health-caring is explored. This project was conducted in a faith-based community hospital in the mid-west. Using an ethnographic mixed methods approach, six nurses and six physicians completed two quantitative assessment tools and participated in one interview comprised of both quantitative and qualitative questions. Results of the project determined (1) that the participants are experiencing varying degrees of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious traumatization, compassion fatigue, and burnout; (2) that the protective factors of compassion satisfaction, support, resilience, and self-care, as well as religious and/or spiritual beliefs, help prevent or mitigate the development of these dynamics; and (3) which types of self-care behaviors participants are engaging in to foster health promotion and wellness behaviors. Short-term and long-term recommendations are made regarding the need for further staff education on trauma, resilience, and self-care; increased awareness of holistic support resources available to team members; and the role of management in engaging team members’ concerns and suggestions. This study affirms the key role spiritual and religious beliefs play in healing. Thus, chaplains are key resources in helping team members increase their awareness of how they might be wrestling with the blessings and costs of caring, as well as ways in which they might manage their trauma through the “healing graces” of compassion satisfaction, support, resilience, self-care, and spirituality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

Download or read book Physician Mental Health and Well Being written by Kirk J. Brower and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the important topic of mental health and related problems among physicians, including trainees. The all-too-common human response of “suffering in silence” and refusing to seek help for professional and personal issues has ramifications for physicians who work in safety-sensitive positions, where clear-headed judgment and proper action can save lives. Problems covered include burnout, disruptive and unprofessional behaviors, impaired performance, traumatic stress, addiction, depression and other mood disorders, and suicide. The authors of this work include psychologists, psychiatrists, and other physicians who diagnose and treat a range of patients with stress-related syndromes. Among their patients are physicians who benefit greatly from education, support, coaching, and treatment. The book's content is organized into three parts with interconnecting themes. Part I focuses on symptoms and how physicians’ problems manifest at the workplace. Part II discusses the disorders underlying the manifesting symptoms. Part III focuses on interventions at both the individual and organizational levels. The major themes investigated throughout the book are developmental aspects; mental health and wellbeing as a continuum; and the multifactorial contributions of individual, interpersonal, organizational, and cultural elements to physician health. This book is intended for anyone who works with, provides support to, or professionally treats distressed physicians. It is also intended for healthcare leaders and organizations that are motivated to improve the experience of providing care and to change the culture of silence, such that seeking help and counsel become normal activities while minimizing stigma. By writing this book, the authors aim to outline effective pathways to well-being and a healthy work-life balance among physicians, so that they may provide optimal and safe care to their patients.

Download or read book Compassion Fatigue Among Emergency Department Nurses written by Tracy A.. Petleski and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this capstone project was to determine the prevalence of compassion fatigue among emergency department nurses. Healthcare workers, especially nurses, working in high acuity areas are at high risk for developing compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary stress. Nurses should be aware of the concept, self-care activities, and available resources to minimize the incidence of these problems. The project was carried out at a large urban emergency department in a Level Two Trauma Center located in the Southeast United States. A total of 24 nurses working full time in the emergency department completed a one hour education module and a Pro QOL version, V Stamm (2009) questionnaire. The nurses who chose to participate in this project completed the 30-item Pro QOL and self-scored as part of the education session. Average to high compassion satisfaction was reported by 87.5% of respondents and all participants reported average to high burnout and average to high secondary trauma stress. High burnout was reported by 29.2% of participants and high secondary trauma by 91.7% of participants. Male subjects reported higher levels of burnout and secondary stress than females. There was no significant correlation between years of experience on the three different variables.
Download or read book Compassion Fatigue written by Charles R. Figley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1995. Traumatology, or the field of traumatic stress studies, has become a dominant focus of interest in the mental health fields only in the past decade. Yet the origin of the study of human reactions to traumatic events can be traced to the earliest medical writings in Kunus Pyprus, published in 1900 B.C. in Egypt. Many factors account for the recent emergence of this field, including a growing awareness of the long-term consequences of shocking events. Among these consequences are violence toward others, extraordinary depression, dysfunctional behavior, and a plethora of medical maladies associated with emotional stress. This is the latest in a series of books that have focused on the immediate and long-term consequences of highly stressful events. The purposes of the book, then, are (a) to introduce the concept of compassion fatigue as a natural and disruptive by-product of working with traumatized and troubled clients; (b) to provide a theoretical basis for the assessment and treatment of compassion stress and compassion fatigue: (c) to explain the difference between compassion fatigue and PTSD, burnout, and countertransference; (d) to identify innovative methods for treating compassion fatigue in therapists, and (e) to suggest methods for preventing compassion fatigue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Mission To Help Others Heal. A mission to help others heal and regain productive lives is likely what led you to pursue a career in professional caregiving. But what happens when all the accumulated suffering and trauma that you have witnessed and the pain that you have experienced starts to cause problems in your own personal and professional life? Insidious and often steeped in shame, compassion fatigue burnout and traumatic stress are very real issues that members of the caregiving community are not only at risk for but will inevitably confront at some point in their careers. The key is not to fight against or run away from these consequences of caregiving, but to recognize their normalization, origination, and the applicable steps available to heal your existing stress and build resilience for the future. In Forward-Facing® Professional Resilience: Prevention and Resolution of Burnout, Toxic Stress and Compassion Fatigue, trauma and compassion fatigue expert Dr. J. Eric Gentry and medical director and practitioner of emergency medicine Dr. Jeffrey “Jim” Dietz combine over seventy years’ worth of experience treating patients and caregivers to present a two-part text that first examines the cause of compassion fatigue, followed by a proven, simple five-step solution for healing and a renewed sense of mission. Drawing from their Professional Resilience workshop that has been attended by over 100,000 international participants, Drs. Gentry and Dietz address these issues with their readers in ways that are candid, heartfelt, insightful, and most of all—filled with hope.
Download or read book The Relationship Among Health Promotion Behaviors Compassion Fatigue Burnout and Compassion Satisfaction in Nurses written by Kaylan Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses working in healthcare put in many long hours providing compassionate care to their patients and their emotional support to their families. Often the healthcare workers will put their patients’ needs before their own. After an extended period of neglect nurses and healthcare workers often feel some burnout (BO) level, which leads to compassion fatigue. Healthcare workers cannot take care of their own physical and emotional needs, but they cannot be there for their patients like they should be able to provide optimum care. This can lead to medical errors, slower recovery time for patients and eventually nurses leaving the profession altogether due to BO. The purpose of this grant proposal is to examine if there is a relationship between different health promotion behaviors that California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) advanced practice nursing (APN) students may engage in and if there any long term effect on the level of compassion fatigue or BO that nurses experience as well as their varying levels of compassion satisfaction. The study’s dependent variable will be the CSUSM APN students’ responses on the self-reported CS and CF scores that will be measured by the Professional Quality of Life Survey version 5 (ProQOL). The relationship between the ProQOL scores and health promotion behaviors will then be evaluated to see if there are any patterns of significance. The data will be collected over a One month period of time. This study’s significance is to aid in the level of knowledge that we have about CF, BO, and its relationship to CS, improving patient care and retention of employees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
