Managing Burnout, Moral Distress, and Ethical Conflict in Health Care

DESCRIPTION

Everyone working in health and human services is affected by the relentless pressure to do more, with less, and for less. The result is a cataclysmic rise in burnout that impacts workers, clients, and organizations. The physical and emotional stresses on workers are often enough to motivate them to abandon careers they expected to last a lifetime. Clients suffer as providers have less time and fewer resources, and organizations suffer as they have greater difficulty fulfilling their missions and retaining and replacing skilled employees.
