A federal study shows that nearly half of healthcare workers reported feeling burned out last year. Research suggests nurses are especially vulnerable to burnout, which can impact their care.
In collaboration with the Global Health Reporting Center and with support from the Pulitzer Center, Stephanie Sy reports from Columbus, Ohio, for a PBS NewsHour series, Critical Care: The Future of Nursing.
The segment profiles four nurses at different places in their nursing careers and the impact of nurse burnout.
-Sarah Kincaid, a family nurse practitioner in Columbus, Ohio
–Bernadette Melnyk, chief wellness officer at Ohio State University, and co-author of the books:
- A Practical Guide to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Screening
- Evidence-based Assessment, Intervention, and Health Promotion
- Evidence-Based Leadership, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Nursing and Healthcare
-Taylor Schwein is a psychiatric nurse practitioner in training. She teaches a cognitive skills building program for fellow Ohio State University students called Mindstrong.
-Yang Du, a nursing student at Ohio State University.
