Beschreibung:
The authors are Wendy Austin, Canada Research Chair (Relational Ethics), E. Sharon Brintnell, Erika Goble, Leon Kagan, Linda Kreitzer, and Brendan Leier. Scholars and/or clinicians situated primarily at the University of Alberta (Kreitzer, University of Calgary), they form an interdisciplinary group (anthropology, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, philosophy, psychology, and social work) with a deep interest in ethical, compassionate health care and the well-being of those who provide it.
Compassion fatigue is what is said to occur when health professionals become "too tired to care." This insiders' perspective on compassion fatigue is framed with the metaphor of "lying down in the snow." If suffering is imagined as ever-falling snow, then the need for resources for safe journeying in "winter country" becomes apparent.
