of job strain. Work Environments can cause job strain when the worker experiences frustration, powerlessness, and an inability to achieve work goals.”
(Puchalski & Ferrell, 2010)
Burnout“… is a response to the work environment and not to the consequences of caring for people who are suffering.” (Puchalski & Ferrell, 2010)
Particular stressorFeeling inadequate due to inability to alleviate others’ suffering
(Bright, 1996; Hooyman & Kramer, 2006; Vachon, 2000.)
Stress, cumulative loss, and emotional labor can negatively impact those who care for the chronically ill and dying and can diminish their ability to provide effective care;
Therefore, it is imperative to provide staff with self-care education and opportunities to reflect and process grief to ensure their well-being.
(Nevidjon, 2004; Vachon, 2010; Ferrell & Coyle, 2010)
(Pizanti, 2006)

Processing a Death ~ Sample Priming Questions How did you find out the person died? Were you there or
did someone call you? If you were present, when he or she died, what was that
experience like? Can you identify ways in which this death brought up
some experiences of loss from your past? How has dealing with losses in the past prepared you to
deal with the losses you face now? In what ways do you feel ill-prepared?
What good memories do you have of the person who died? Think or write a bit about one of those good memories.
(Nichols, 2012)
(Pizanti, 2006)
Spiritual care of Nurses
Identify self-violence, suffering or injury
Empower nurses to care for themselves & others
Promote spiritual, psychological and physical abundance - not scarcity
Explore your own beliefs and values *
Think of a time when you faced a major life transition, change or loss. How did it affect you spiritually? How did your spirituality affect the experience? Did you discover spiritual strength during that time? How did you want to be supported spiritually?
