Compassion Fatigue

Often caretakers find themselves on the edge of fatigue as a result of their work that is exhausting and demanding. Work-on-family conflict and family-on-work conflict are intertwined and can have disastrous impacts upon the performance of workers and their care for patients or also damage relationships within the family unit. These stresses can be deduced by others through body language given by the healthcare professional, therefore, to ensure that emotional reserves are built up within the caregiver, he or she must follow the adage of relax and restoration. These workers should seek counseling, confide in other caretakers to share feelings of anxiety, ensure that they make necessary time for relaxation and recreation for themselves to restore their emotional reserves and try their best to remain positive regardless of situations that are out of their control.
