Workplace interventions are needed to prevent burnout and support the well-being of the palliative care workforce.
We conducted a survey of all palliative care clinical staff to evaluate the usefulness and feasibility of checklist items and the checklist itself. We collected demographics, perceptions of professional satisfaction and burnout, and qualitative feedback aimed at improving the checklist.
We implemented a 13-item self-care checklist, included in a handbook on palliative care carried in the laboratory coat of all clinical personnel, to remind them to care of their own well-being.
Of 39 personnel contacted, 32 (82%) responded. Most (20; 62%) found the checklist useful. Exercise was the most highly ranked item, whereas watching visual arts was the lowest ranked item.
CONCLUSIONS/LESSONS LEARNED: Numerous opportunities were identified to improve the checklist and facilitate achievement of checklist items. Survey data will be used in the next checklist version.
需要采取工作场所干预措施来预防倦怠并支持姑息治疗人员的福祉。
我们对所有姑息治疗临床工作人员进行了调查，以评估清单项目和清单本身的有用性和可行性。我们收集了人口统计学资料、对职业满意度和倦怠的看法，以及旨在改进清单的定性反馈。
我们实施了一个包含 13 项自我保健清单的干预措施，该清单包含在一个姑息治疗手册中，放在所有临床人员的实验服口袋里，以提醒他们照顾自己的福祉。
联系了 39 名人员，其中 32 人（82%）做出了回应。大多数人（20 人；62%）认为清单很有用。锻炼是排名最高的项目，而观看视觉艺术是排名最低的项目。
结论/经验教训：确定了许多改进清单和促进清单项目实现的机会。调查数据将用于下一个清单版本。
