Debriefing Among Hospice Professionals During a Pandemic.

Although the hospice industry cannot afford to lose professionals to compassion fatigue and burnout, work challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic potentially place hospice professionals at an increased risk. Reflective debriefing has been recommended to provide emotional support to battle job dissatisfaction, compassion fatigue, and burnout. The purpose of this study was to provide reflective debriefing sessions to hospice professionals and identify common themes reported about their professional and personal experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
