The Risk of Emotional Distress in Palliative Care Staff
Protective Factors and Prevention Mechanisms
Working in palliative care is deeply meaningful-yet emotionally demanding. Daily exposure to suffering, loss, ethical dilemmas, and high emotional intensity places professionals at significant risk of burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress.
This evidence-based guide offers a comprehensive roadmap for protecting emotional well-being in palliative care teams. Grounded in over 100 academic sources and leading psychological models, this book provides practical, actionable strategies at both individual and organizational levels.
Inside, you will discover:
The psychological mechanisms behind burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress
Evidence-based resilience-building techniques
Mindfulness and emotional intelligence strategies tailored for healthcare staff
Organizational policies that reduce emotional strain and increase retention
Peer-support and team-resilience frameworks
Practical daily tools for stress regulation during demanding shifts
Case studies of successful institutional interventions
Designed for hospice professionals, palliative care teams, social workers, nurses, physicians, psychologists, and healthcare leaders, this book bridges science and practice to create safer, healthier care environments.
Because caring for the dying should never mean losing yourself in the process.
