Abstract

Managing compassion fatigue under the stress of productivity expectations can feel overwhelming. As providers we want to meet agency goals while also prioritizing quality patient care. This can place demands on our capacity to serve and may foster a sense of competing expectations. Learning about compassion fatigue and ways to combat it can improve our professional satisfaction, increasing our sense of effectiveness and promoting patient engagement.

Objectives

  • Develop techniques to restore our sense of professional satisfaction.
  • Learn how addressing our compassion fatigue can promote positive patient interactions and improve productivity.
  • Learn to construct collaborative supervision discussions to foster restorative dialogue about balancing priorities.
