Trauma, Compassion Fatigue, and Burnout in Nurses: The Nurse Leader's Response
Abstract:
Within health care, trauma-informed care has become an embedded approach in caring for patients; however, nurse leaders are not always prepared to lead nurses with a background of trauma. Nurses' past trauma, coupled with workplace stressors, may result in compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Nurse leader engagement and trauma-informed leadership approaches are imperative to mitigate and mediate the effects of trauma in nurses as the COVID-19 pandemic recedes.
