Picking up the pieces.
This paper examines some of the current evidence of stress and burnout among nurses and other health care workers. Even in environments where pay and conditions are good, nurses still experience significant difficulties in healing relationships, stress and burnout sufficient to render them dysfunctional at work. The paper, using the case study of a unit set up to provide care for nurses, examines how the needs of nurses can also be taken into account in the holistic perspective on caring.
