Abstract
Nurses are challenged to maintain resilience against burnout and develop successful coping skills in the work environment. As nursing leaders in an academic medical center, we observed symptoms of compassion fatigue in the nursing staff. In an effort to address this issue, a comprehensive program was developed and piloted to alert nurses to the risks of cumulative stress and provide training for self-care promotion to minimize the negative effects of compassion fatigue.
