National Harbor 13 (Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center)

Primary Presenter:

Rod Myerscough, PhD

Co-presenters:

Debra Chase, PhD, MSW , Holly Klein, BSN, RN, CHPN and Laura Isakov, BSN, RN, CHPN

Area of Emphasis: Workforce Excellence
Learning Objectives:
1. Articulate manifestations of compassion fatigue
2. Establish personal and practice strategies to minimize compassion fatigue
3. Identify strategies for processing compassion fatigue for individuals and teams

Although it is widely recognized that self-care is necessary to prevent compassion fatigue it is frequently neglected by health care workers. This workshop will describe our service’s innovative efforts to develop a culture of self-care not as a benevolent management effort from the top down but a leadership initiative from the bottom up.
