Healthcare professionals experience Compassion fatigue is a real issue in the healthcare industry that can affect the quality of care provided to patients. As healthcare providers continually give their all to support patients, they often neglect their own well-being. This can lead to a lack of empathy, decreased job satisfaction, and even burnout.
It’s well-known that healthcare careers are among the most stressful. A survey by CareerBuilder found that healthcare professionals experience the highest levels of stress compared to other industries. Of those surveyed, 69% of healthcare workers reported feeling stressed, while 17% reported feeling highly stressed.
To combat compassion fatigue, a healthcare provider must prioritize great self-care, provide support, and engage them in regular self-reflection so that patients who feel empowered to take an active role in their care can be more likely to comply with treatment plans and have better long-term health outcomes. Involving patients in their care can also ease the burden on healthcare providers, as patients can take ownership of their health and well-being.
