Study Notes
Healthcare Professions and Well-Being
- Working in the healthcare industry can be both rewarding and challenging, leading to the development of secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout.
Understanding Secondary Trauma
- Secondary traumatic stress (STS) occurs when individuals are indirectly exposed to traumatic events through their work, causing a range of emotional and cognitive responses.
- Healthcare workers, such as physicians and nurses, are at a high risk of developing STS due to their proximity to patients experiencing distress and trauma.
Addressing Burnout
- Burnout is a state of mental and physical exhaustion characterized by feelings of frustration, hopelessness, and psychological detachment from work.
- The healthcare industry has historically struggled with burnout, with rates reaching up to 54% among physicians and 45% among nurses prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The pandemic has intensified these issues, further highlighting the importance of addressing burnout within the healthcare workplace.
Compassion Fatigue and Its Impact
- Compassion fatigue (CF) is a blend of secondary traumatic stress and burnout, characterized by physical and emotional symptoms such as apathy, cynicism, decreased empathy, and job dissatisfaction.
- The prevalence of compassion fatigue among healthcare workers can negatively affect patient care, relationships with colleagues, and overall organizational performance.
History of Patient-Centered Care
- The concept of patient-centered care has evolved over time, emphasizing the importance of considering patients' needs, preferences, and values throughout their care journey.
- Historically, the focus in healthcare has been on treating diseases rather than the individual, but patient-centered approaches have shifted the emphasis towards personalized care that promotes better patient outcomes and enhances provider satisfaction.
Preventing Secondary Trauma, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue
- Implementing evidence-based interventions such as stress management strategies, peer support groups, and professional counseling services can help prevent secondary trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
- Cultivating resiliency and promoting positive aspects of working with individuals who have experienced trauma can also contribute to reducing the negative impacts on providers' well-being.
QSEN and Nursing Competencies
- QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses) focuses on six competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, quality improvement, safety, evidence-based practice, and informatics.
- Four blended competencies in nursing are: cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal.
- The four aims of nursing are: promote health, prevent illness, restore health, and facilitate coping with disability or death.
Nursing Roles and Responsibilities
- The nurse integrates various roles such as communicator, teacher, counselor, leader, researcher, advocate, and collaborator to promote wellness and patient care.
- Nurses are responsible for providing patient-centered care, managing chronic diseases, and promoting physical and mental health.
National Nursing Organizations and Nurse Practice Acts
- National nursing organizations include: American Nurses Association, National League for Nurses, American Association of College of Nursing, American Academy of Nursing, and National Student Nurses Association.
- Nurse Practice Acts define the legal scope of nursing practice, create a state board of nursing, and establish criteria for education and licensure of nurses.
