Content:
Theme-based: Caring for patients and families opens us up to sharing the vulnerability and pain those we seek to help are experiencing. When people are sick, worried, frustrated, experiencing pain, or just feeling at their limit, they can become angry, abusive, rude, or worse. These actions are not new to healthcare, but post-pandemic behavior has become more aggressive and demanding than ever before. Interactions can be laced with racism, ageism, religious bias, among many other egregious attitudes and actions of abuse. It often feels that gone are the days when healthcare workers are respected and honored for their knowledge and experience. When a confrontation happens, we often feel betrayed and deeply hurt, since we arrive at work each day to help and heal. Through sharing our perspectives, we can begin to heal past wounds and hope to meet future challenges with more resilience. Participants will be able to recognize they are not alone in their struggles with angry patients and families and learn some coping strategies to deal with these challenging scenarios.
