Reflection: A Healthcare Professional’s Take on Moral Injury and Burnout & What We Can We Begin Doing About It Now

In a recent article in The Lancet, titled: ‘Eliminating burnout and moral injury: Bolder steps required,’ they discuss 10 ways in which organizations can take better care of their healthcare providers to minimize burnout and moral injury. In this episode, I will be reflecting on the findings in this article, along with my most recent interviews, and applying my own personal experience with burnout and moral injury. I share some of the risks of burnout in healthcare professionals such as; emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, lack of professional efficacy, lack of engagement, and more.    Listen to the full episode to learn: What moral injury is and why it’s common in the healthcare industry  Why there is a high correlation between burnout and moral injury  What can be done in order to reduce moral injury and provide a better workplace for healthcare professionals  How not all work can be accounted for in statistics and why ‘invisible work’ is so important    Grab your drink of choice and join the conversation!   Resources  Articles for Your Review: 1) https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2589-5370%2821%2900370-9  2) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6752815/  3) https://thischangedmypractice.com/physician-well-being-burnout-moral-injury/    Connect with Jennifer George: @bestobsessed_with_jenn | Instagram Jennifer George | Website @jenngeorge08) | Twitter Jennifer George | Facebook Click here to check out my award-winning book about connecting and communicating with patients to create empowering experiences!
