When a nurse finds herself suffering from her activity, isn't this linked to the fact that she wants to overinvest her role?
When a nurse finds herself suffering in the exercise of her profession, is this due to over-investment? Because we are taught at school that we must be kind, reassuring, always listening, and failing in "this duty" is like a failure for which we are not prepared.
The way in which the nurse will experience her work depends on her own level of requirement; if it is very high, corresponds to the ideal that she has forged, she risks stumbling.
Everything will then depend on the regulation that will be made. If this nurse is on a breakneck train, like a galloping horse, it will be very difficult to make her let go because she is outside the rational field. She may be afraid of failing but also take a certain pleasure in overperforming. We are there in the register of the emotional.
It is our job as specialists to break this rigidity, to get the person to do things differently, with the help of appropriate strategic communication.
While hospital caregivers are particularly affected by burnout, other professions are also affected.
