An emergency nurse has been experiencing increased irritability, a sense of detachment from patients, and a feeling of decreased personal achievement at work. Recognizing these as possible signs of burnout, what is the most effective initial approach for the nurse to manage these symptoms?
Rely on overtime shifts for financial ease
Offer support to colleagues experiencing similar issues
Consulting with a mental health professional is the most direct and effective initial approach to address symptoms of burnes and assess needs for further interventions or supports. While supporting each other among colleagues and discussing experiences can provide peer support, professional advice is crucial for individualized assessment and management strategies. Vacation time may provide temporary relief but doesn't address the underlying issues directly. Relying on overtime for financial reasons might contribute further to burnout rather than resolving it.
