Burnout in social services professionals has been defined as a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. The pediatric critical care nurse is especially vulnerable to this phenomenon when exposed to prolonged, chronic suffering of a patient. The rewarding aspect of caring for the critically ill child who recovers from significant affliction is not experienced when caring for the "chronic child." This article reviews the dynamics of chronicity in pediatric critical care and explores protective strategies for burnout management. Several of Jean Watson's carative factors that define her human care philosophy provide the conceptual framework for the approaches outlined.
社会服务专业人员的职业倦怠被定义为一种情感耗竭、去人格化和个人成就感降低的综合征。儿科重症护理护士在面对患者长期的慢性痛苦时，尤其容易受到这种现象的影响。照顾“慢性病患儿”时，无法体验到照顾从重病中康复的危重症患儿所带来的回报。本文回顾了儿科重症护理中慢性病的动态变化，并探讨了职业倦怠管理的保护策略。让·沃森定义其人文关怀理念的几个关怀因素为所概述的方法提供了概念框架。
