Summary

Burnout among healthcare workers is frequently reported, and one of the factors cited is the stress caused by end-of-life care. It has been reported that nursing staff experience decreased well-being as a result of being involved in end-of-life care, and this is also true in intensive care units. This decrease in well-being is said to lead to lower quality of care, poor communication with patients and their families, absenteeism, and high turnover. Although palliative care interventions such as education and communication tools have been reported to improve the well-being of healthcare professionals involved in end-of-life care, few reports have evaluated the association with burnout. We investigated whether communication-based palliative interventions in end-of-life care in intensive care units (ICUs) improve the risk of burnout among nurses working in ICUs.
