Description

Nursing/Healthcare as a profession attracts those who value compassion, want to make a difference in other people's lives, and want to do greater good in the world. While the profession provides endless options of practice, settings, and flexibility, it also provides more than its fair share of stress through long shifts, mental and physical exhaustion, conflict and bullying, patient and family challenges, regulatory changes, and lack of control. When stress and fatigue take over a nurse's/provider's ability to prioritize their own self-care for optimal health and well-being, quality and patient safety may be compromised. This new edition will explore the enormous risks involved in the stress-fatigue-burnout connection, defines the associated health and well-being consequences, and practice considerations for how to move the profession forward. Author Suzanne Waddill-Goad provides practical solutions and strategies for fresh thinking, including ways to prevent burnout in the first place, harness and manage overwhelming stress, and set new priorities for optimal health and well-being to care for yourself.
