Healthcare Workers, Organizations Must Be Deliberate About Promoting Resilience During COVID-19 Era, Expert Contends

Psychiatric News (4/16) reports, “During the era of COVID-19, health care workers and organizations must be deliberate about promoting resilience, wrote Abby R. Rosenberg, MD, MS, MA, of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle in” a viewpoint article published online April 14 in JAMA Pediatrics. In the viewpoint article, Dr. Rosenberg “described ways individual health care workers might bolster resiliency by setting short-term goals for working from home or self-care after a stressful day on the hospital ward.” She wrote that “for organizations, it may involve ‘deliberately celebrating systems-level steps toward shared community goals, such as evidence that local social distancing practices are beginning to flatten the curve.’”
