High stress situations are prevalent in Imaging departments. Long-term stressors, particularly in a public health crisis, can lead quickly to staff Burnout, PTSD, and even Moral Injury. Many times, this can go unnoticed, and resources for support are underutilized - if they exist at all. Just like the different cacti found in Arizona, you along with your staff react differently to stressful situations you encounter. Learning to recognize the different ways you and your team react to stressors, both acute and long-term, and what support mechanisms can be provided will allow your “cacti” to bloom.
Learning Objectives:
The difference and nuances between Burnout, PTSD and Moral Injury as it relates to healthcare workers.
How Burnout, PTSD and Moral Injury can intersect – and where they do not.
Strategies for recognizing and addressing each for your team – and for yourself.
