SCCM Resource Library-Key Factors in ICU Burnout: Moral Communities and Resolving Conflicts

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ICU clinicians and the importance of addressing burnout and moral distress among these healthcare professionals. The surveys conducted by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) reveal that ICU clinicians have experienced burnout and moral distress due to a lack of staff and training, exhaustion, and communication challenges with families. It is crucial to provide support for ICU clinicians during these challenging times. Measures that can be taken include developing programs and resources at the organizational level, providing peer support, proactively reaching out to clinicians for support, and ensuring leadership support. Creating a supportive organizational culture is also important. These findings highlight the need to address burnout and moral distress to support the well-being of ICU clinicians.
