“…In much of the literature on caring for burn patients, nurses describe the heavy emotional toll it takes to care for the severely burned (Haik, et al 2017;Hilliard and O'Neill 2010;Kornhaber and Wilson 2011a;Negble, et al 2014). The Amish and Mennonite participants in this study did not mention the high level of trauma, burnout, emotional distress, and compassion fatigue described in the above articles.…”

“…This collaboration serves as a type of debriefing similar to what Kornhaber and Wilson (2011b) found vitally important for nurses. A supportive workplace culture and meetings dedicated to sharing stories appear to sustain caregivers' attitudes and wellbeing and reduce stress (Haik, et al 2017;Kornhaber and Wilson 2011b;Nagy 1999). As Amish caregivers seek to take care of more difficult cases over longer periods, including lengthy after-burn massage, they will need to consciously recognize that the physical, emotional, and spiritual burden may increase and learn how to deal with it.…”

Amish and Mennonites have a long standing heritage of caring for each other within the community and family setting using natural, herbal medicines and therapies. For several decades, in numerous Anabaptist communities across the United States, a burns and wounds treatment has been popularized by the training of hundreds of lay caregivers. Little is known outside these communities about the experiences of these caregivers dedicated to providing burns and wounds care. The aim of this study was to describe the lived experience of caregivers who use the Burns & Wounds ointment (B&W) and burdock leaf treatment. Twelve caregivers (eight women and four men) who provide care in five states were interviewed. They ranged in age from 34 to 55 years with eight to 12 years of care. Data were analyzed manually by content analysis. Four major themes provide a rich, in-depth description. Rewarding work with heavy responsibility and decisive action then waiting to heal are accounts of personal commitments to caregiving. Selfreliance along with collaboration portrays family and community involvement. Treatment disallowed versus negotiated support describes caregivers' interactions with health care professionals. The use of the B&W burdock treatment is embedded in the cultural beliefs of these lay caregivers attending to their own, using natural products when possible, while respecting health care professionals' knowledge and abilities. They believe their treatment reduces the need for skin grafts, high doses of analgesics, and cost. Their wish is for medical supervision of their patients, including vital signs and hydration, while they provide wound care.

“…Burnout in medical personnel has even been associated with the theft of medications and supplies [27]. The impact of occupational burnout often extends beyond the workplace, with an increased risk for insomnia, depression, and marital and family problems [8,28,29]. In multiple employee populations, burnout has been associated with absenteeism, tardiness, and an intention to leave the job (i.e.…”

Introduction Professional wellness is critical to developing and maintaining a health care workforce. Previous work has identified burnout as a significant challenge to professional wellness facing emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in many countries worldwide. Our study fills a critical gap by assessing the prevalence of burnout among emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in India. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey of EMTs within the largest prehospital care organization in India. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) to measure wellness. All EMTs presenting for continuing medical education between July-November 2017 from the states of Gujarat, Karnataka, and Telangana were eligible. Trained, independent staff administered anonymous MBI-Medical Personnel Surveys in local languages. Results Of the 327 EMTs eligible, 314 (96%) consented to participate, and 296 (94%) surveys were scorable. The prevalence of burnout was 28.7%. Compared to EMTs in other countries, Indian EMTs had higher levels of personal accomplishment but also higher levels of emotional exhaustion and moderate levels of depersonalization. In multivariate regression, determinants of burnout included younger age, perceived lack of respect from colleagues and administrators, and a sense of physical risk. EMTs who experienced burnout were four times as likely to plan to quit their jobs within one year.

“…Despite these perceived failings and poor practices, many nurses have adopted a stoic approach and continue to tolerate working under immense pressure, often in conflicting and stressful environments. This situation, if allowed to continue, ultimately leads to burn out (Haik et al, 2017) and 'compassion fatigue' -which occurs as a result of the nurses' decreasing capacity to express empathy due to continual exposure to the suffering of others (Peters, 2018).…”

Building resilience in contemporary nursing practice

The nursing profession is being threatened by staff shortages. Catherine Best explains why building resilience from within the profession is vital to safeguarding its future, by keeping newly qualified nurses in the job and preventing emotional ‘burnout’ across disciplines Resilience in nursing has been critiqued and challenged throughout the nursing literature. Trends in nursing have led to many nurses leaving the profession early in their career, often due to the immense pressures that they work under. There are many opinions on how nurses can develop the resilience needed to maintain professional integrity and continue to provide safe and effective care, while attempting to shoulder the considerable impact of political and professional drivers. This not only leaves nurses exhausted but often without hope. By taking collective action, this article argues that nurses may benefit from sharing ideas and learning from others, and in so doing rekindle hope and a belief that things can change.
