Ashley Gallagher, Pharmacy Times; Bite-Sized Well-Being Can Help Reduce Burnout for Health Care Workers
"Bite-sized well-being strategies can help reduce burnout for health care workers, according to the John G. Kuhn Keynote Address at the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association Annual Conference 2022.
“This time we’re in right now is not the time to tell people to start training for a triathlon, or to start with yoga, or to start with meditation. We just don’t have the initiation energy to do that right now,” J. Bryan Sexton, PhD, director of the Duke Center for Healthcare and Safety and Quality at Duke University Health System, said in the keynote address.
“If you were doing those things before the pandemic, maybe lean into those practices now, but what people need right now when there is so little gas in the tank is these bite-sized strategies.”...
Sexton said that colleagues can also affect an individual’s level of burnout. Approximately one-quarter of well-being is determined by who an individual works with, according to Sexton...
Sexton tested out a method called “3 Good Things,” which is just writing 3 good things that happened every day for 15 days. He said that in doing so, by day 15, there will be a significant improvement in emotional exhaustion."
