title = "Easing clinician distress in pediatric cancer care",
abstract = "Pediatric oncology has the potential to bring joy and job satisfaction and enrich the lives of healthcare workers that choose to work in this field. However, the tremendous burden of caring for sick, suffering, and sometimes terminally ill children, and supporting their families, can be overwhelming, especially in the context of a complicated healthcare system, long hours on the job, challenging work environments, and a number of other potential interpersonal conflicts involving staff, patients, and/or family members. All of these factors can eventually lead to significant clinician distress. In this chapter, we describe four types of distress that affect clinicians; burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, and spiritual distress, from various clinician perspectives and report on prevalence and risk factors. In addition, we review types of interventions that can be implemented on an individual and/or an institutional level to help prevent and reduce this growing problem among healthcare providers.",
