SCCM Resource Library-Workforce, Workload, and Burnout During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Heather Meissen, an acute care nurse practitioner, discusses the issue of burnout syndrome among critical care advanced practice providers in the healthcare industry. She highlights that burnout syndrome is prevalent among healthcare professionals, with 18 to 46 percent of critical care providers reporting feelings of depression or despair. The high-intensity, high-stress nature of the profession can lead to burnout, which in turn has negative impacts on the individual provider, the healthcare system, and patient outcomes. Meissen mentions a study conducted during the pandemic that showed a significant increase in burnout among healthcare professionals, particularly nurses. She also discusses the importance of addressing burnout through targeted interventions and programs, such as resiliency training. She shares the results of a pilot resiliency training program implemented in her organization, showing potential benefits in reducing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Overall, she emphasizes the need for further research and strategies to combat burnout and prevent a workforce crisis in healthcare.
