Research has shown that individuals who work in the medical field have compassion fatigue and burnout. Some healthcare workers leave jobs, commit suicide or have increased patient errors related to compassion fatigue. Signs of burnout and stress can manifest itself in many physical forms in the body. Studies have shown that even a few minutes of mindfulness prior to each shift decreases burnout, stress and fatigue. Multiple modalities can be utilized as resources.
