Abstract:
Introduction: Nursing is a physically and emotionally
demanding career for nurses. Nurses are always there to care
for a stranger as if they were one of their own way. One in four
nurses are reported to experience burnout1 at some point in
their career.
My Experience: Burnout / Compassion Fatigue impacts the
nurses both professionally and personally and have a negative
impact on patient care and the organization in which they are
employed. Self-care have a positive impact on the prevention
of compassion fatigue and burnout in health professionals.
Education on early signs of burnout and the encouragement
of a personal self-care program is a matter of importance to
the nursing profession according to my opinion.
Conclusion: During my presentation I will address that what
I believe is a holistic approach to self-care. I have developed
a model of self-care which addresses the five social
psychological aspects of self. This model allows the nurse to
develop a deeper level of self-awareness while caring for their
Mental, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual and Indulgent self-care
needs.
