RESILIENCE
COST OF CARING
Work in the healthcare industries, requires compassion, dedication to service, and a drive to help others.Â
In a world where there are more needs than resources. it is easy to feel overwhelmed.Â
Compassion fatigue is the physical and psychological impact of helping others, which depletes our coping abilities and can create imbalance in our work and personal lives.
BURNOUT
Compassion fatigue can lead to decreased quality of life and burnout.Â
Burnout is the excessive exhaustion caused by prolonged work-related stress.
Approximately 50% of healthcare professionals and support staff have symptoms of burnout.
Burnout can lead to higher absence rates, increased turnover, and lower quality of care.
