This day-long conference will include keynotes, break-out discussions, and interactive sessions to deepen our engagement with the themes of building resilience and combating compassion fatigue for both clinical professionals and family members working in palliative and end of life care introduced at last year’s PCI conference. We will Learn about the hazards of caregiving – burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma – and the solutions/antidotes/protective measures both home caregivers and health providers can take to guard against burnout and build resilience.
After conference, learners should be able to:
- Describe the influences contributing to health providers and family caregivers experiencing compassion fatigue;
- Identify negative outcomes in patient care associated with compassion fatigue and caregiver burn-out;
- Describe the difference between the concepts of resilience and anti-fragility;
- Apply concepts of resilience and anti-fragility to specific provider case studies;
- Describe the ways that providing and receiving care across cultural differences and boundaries can impact care and caregiver burn-out;
- Apply an understanding of these subjects to oneself in order to make choices and put in place changes that will make a difference.
