Abstract
While the concept of burnout is in the media spotlight, other disorders can also affect caregivers. Vicarious trauma evokes a state of post-traumatic stress in caregivers confronted with the trauma endured by a patient. Compassion fatigue is manifested by a gradual erosion of empathy, optimism and compassion. Both disorders require immediate and adapted support.Entities:
