Introduction to resilience: building our internal resources Book uri icon
Overview
abstract
  • Every health-care worker knows about burnout—the state of mental and physical exhaustion that results from overwork and emotional wear and tear. Even before the pandemic, providers across the health-care workforce spectrum have been at significant risk for the development of burnout, compassion fatigue, and isolation, not to mention substance use/abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and suicide. As work demands have grown and the face of health care has changed, burnout has only increased among health-care providers. This has not only had a tragic effect on the lives of providers, it has also eroded patient trust, satisfaction, and health outcomes, and it has cost health-care organizations millions of dollars as they lose providers and are forced to recruit new people to fill the gaps.
