Description of CME Course
Devastating events are bigger, longer-lasting events that are outside of the typical difficulties that can occur in healthcare delivery—events such as hurricanes, pandemics, terrorist attacks, or situations in which practitioners make errors that cause harm or death to a patient. These are troubling and demoralizing situations that have lingering repercussions. When a person experiences a devastating event, he or she will likely respond with certain physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions to the trauma of the event. If the person already has burnout, the combination of the ongoing burnout symptoms and the trauma from the new devastating event may produce even greater physical and emotional reactions. This activity presents some strategies that facilities can offer and also some individual strategies that may contribute to your well-being after a devastating event.
