“…Thus, there is a need for subsequent studies to further explore if any relationships in HCC levels and symptoms of burnout, such as the regular onset of physical ailments and impaired cognition, can be observed in professionals who care for people with dementia. A number of factors have also been identified as sources of stress in the care sector, such as inadequate working environments and ruminating on challenging situations that occur in the workplace setting (Rippon, McDonnell, Smith, McCreadie & Wetherell, 2020).
