Detach from Outcomes to Sustain Care
Burnout is common among caregivers, particularly those in end-of-life and hospice settings. Caregivers often become emotionally depleted due to their attachment to desired outcomes, such as a patient's recovery or survival. This connection to specific results can drain their emotional energy, leading to burnout. To mitigate this, caregivers should focus on applying themselves fully to their work while acknowledging their desires and setting realistic expectations. Clarity about intentions, without an unhealthy attachment to outcomes, can help sustain caregivers' emotional resilience.
