The self-care struggle of healthcare professionals

Healthcare professionals face a significant hurdle in prioritizing self-care. While daily life presents its fair share of stress, with an average of 10 stressful events per day, healthcare workers experience a staggering 10 stressful events per hour. Imagine an ICU nurse, a critical care surgeon, or a family physician constantly juggling complex patient needs while also battling ever-increasing documentation burdens. In this high-pressure environment, finding time for self-care becomes a significant challenge.
