Nursing professionals serve on the frontlines. Nurses are the largest number of healthcare workers within the healthcare environment. Nurses daily face challenging situations where they can experience high levels of stress which can result in burnout, stress, and anxiety. Further, nurses are often placed in situations where they may experience compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is an emotional response to being indirectly traumatized by helping those who are experiencing primary traumatic stress. Compassion fatigue and burnout are often linked together. Stress and burnout amongst nursing professionals are not new concepts, however, the concept compassion fatigue is a new concept. Nurses at all levels can experience emotional depletion, work-life balance challenges, and the inability to maintain and restore energy—especially now, when they are on the front lines of a global health crisis. Fostering joy at work begins with supporting care of the self and should be a priority for all nurses. This presentation will focus on strategies for nurses to help recognize compassion fatigue in yourself and others and provide strategies for developing compassion satisfaction and resilience. In addition, you will earn 1 hour of nursing continuing professional development credit for attending the webinar on moving from compassion fatigue to satisfaction.
