There Is an Increased Potential for Burnout for Nurses Working

There is an increased potential for burnout for nurses working in critical care due to the often-complex cases and the length of time that nurses care for and support people and their families. Self-care can be facilitated by:

A) Avoiding discussions with others about worries or concerns
B) Team working and supportive discussions with colleagues, including debrief and supervision opportunities
C) Keeping things bottled up, other people may be feeling stressed and it is not fair to burden others
D) Continuing to work when you feel exhausted and drained
