The emotional cost of caring for others is a well-documented occupational hazard for health care workers who, given these uncertain times, face greater than usual stress.
Nursing staff spend countless hours caring for others and carrying the burden of their patients’ illnesses and suffering. In the literature dedicated to this topic, the term “burnout” describes a reaction to the occupational stress of caring for and interacting with numerous others. Feelings of dread, emotional exhaustion, lack of empathy for residents, and frequent call-outs are just some of the consequences of compassion fatigue and burnout.
