ABC of Clinical Resilience
ABC of Clinical Resilience
For the healthcare professional, clinical resilience is about
reconnecting with those stirrings which first motivated us to spend a
career in the service of others. It is about recovering and maintaining
the joy of practice which nourishes and satisfies our curiosity about
the uniqueness of every person in our care. Being a resilient
practitioner is essential for our personal wellbeing and also for the
safety of our patients, who depend on our ability to optimise our
physical and cognitive performance. Yet many healthcare professionals
report experiencing burnout.
ABC of Clinical Resilience summarises current evidence on how
cognitive performance and wellbeing of healthcare professionals are
affected by the emotional context of providing care and the
organisational culture of working environments. As well as considering
impacts of individuals and teams, we also consider how resilience can be
recovered for the benefit of everyone. Topics include:
- The emotional impact of working in healthcare
- Resilience and cognitive performance
- Practicing self-care
- The physiology of resilience
- Intelligent kindness
- Kindness in teams
- Resilience in practice
- Organisational kindness
- Teaching resilience
Perfect for both novice and experienced healthcare professionals,
including those working in mental health, ABC of Clinical Resilience
will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals who treat
healthcare workers and readers interested in the psychology and
prevention of burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury.
