23. Resiliency is a Critical Ingredient to Recovery and Healing Resilience: Capacity for successful adaptation despite challenging or threatening circumstances McLewin & Muller 2006; Waller 2001; Bell 2006 “I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening - a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation." -Dr. Peter Levine

34. Self-care is an ethical responsibility • The World Health Organization has finally declared burnout a real syndrome with medical consequences (June 2019). • A meta-analysis of 82 studies including 210,669 healthcare providers found that ”greater burnout among healthcare providers was associated with poorer-quality healthcare and reduced safety for patients.”1 • Burned-out physicians have been linked to more medical errors and higher malpractice risks, and to suboptimal care. 2 • A study of 358 Dutch police officers found that burnout is “positively related to attitudes towards use of violence and the use of violence during the officers’ duty.3 1 The Relationship Between Professional Burnout and Quality and Safety in Healthcare: A Meta-Analysis Michelle P. Salyers, 2017 2 Shanafelt TD, Balch CM, Bechamps G, et al. Burnout and medical errors among American surgeons. Ann Surg. 2010 3 Kop, et al. (1999) Burnout, job stress and violent behaviour among Dutch police officers, Work & Stress “When a professional is burned out, everyone suffers.”
