- 20. Dissonance in practice 42 year old Syrian immigrant with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, intubated for post- obstructive pneumonia. Septic shock on maximal pressor support. Now with multiorgan failure. Diagnosed 6 months prior. Now has a 3 month old baby “Do everything.”
- 21. Family •We know he’s dying, but he needs to stay for his son. Intensivist •He’s in multi-system organ failure. I know he’s young, but he won’t survive. But we will keep him full code, since that’s what they want. Nurse •This feels like futile care. He’s not awake. He’s in isolation. His baby can’t even see him. I don’t know why we’re doing what we are.
- 22. Reflecting on moral distress
- 23. On curiosity
- 24. Leaning in to dissonance Cognitive dissonance involves the ability of the mind to hold two seemingly opposite truths in a moment “We know he’s dying, but we need him to stay for his son.” “He doesn’t want to die, but he doesn’t want to suffer either.” “As the family Priest, I should give them advice and support, but I am afraid of this suffering as well.” Being curious How else might he be able to linger?

- 39. Definition: Burnout • A response to chronic, and cumulative stress (often related to work). Includes: – Emotional exhaustion – Depersonalization – Diminished personal accomplishment (Maslach C, Jackson SE: Maslach Burnout Inventory Palo Alto, California:Consulting Psychologists Press; 1986.)
- 40. Burnout: Selected Data Burnout shown to predict mood disorders and poor general health in physicians (Hillhouse et al., 2000) Burnout associated with: - increase in self-reported medical errors (West et al., 2006) - suboptimal patient care practices (Shanafelt et al., 2002)
- 41. Burnout: Impact 60% of practicing physicians report symptoms of Burnout (Krasner, wt al, 2009 ) 50% of PICU attending were at risk or burned out (Fields, et al, 1995) 38%-66% Nurses report symptoms of Burnout (Aiken et al, 2001; Laschinger, et al, 2006) Linked to poorer quality of care Decreased patient satisfaction Increased Medical errors and lawsuits Decreased ability to express empathy (Krasner, et al, 2009)
- 42. Burnout: Selected Data • 76% of medical resident respondents reported symptoms of burnout: – High depersonalization (e.g., “I’ve become more calloused towards people since I took this job.”) – Emotional exhaustion (e.g., “I feel emotionally drained from my work.). Shanafelt, colleagues (2002) • Half the residents who feel burned out suffer from depressive symptoms. Shanafelt, colleagues, (2002)
- 43. Compassion Fatigue Is a form of secondary trauma characterized by exhaustion, helplessness and dysfunction as a result of prolonged exposure to compassion stress and trauma. Usually evolves in caring professionals who absorb the traumatic stress of those they help (Najjar et al , 2009). No uniform definition May be misnamed: Compassion cannot cause fatigue or that becomes fatigued
- 44. How many agreed with this statement? "Sometimes I feel we are saving children who should not be saved,“ and "Sometimes I feel we give up on children too soon." 20 times more nurses agreed with 1 than with 2 15 times more house officers, 10 times more attending physicians Mildred Z.

Shanafelt, colleagues (2002)Half the residents who feel burned out suffer from depressive symptoms. Shanafelt, colleagues, (2002)it is not compassion that causes fatigue, and it is not compassion that becomes fatigued. Compassion is not a finite quantity that becomes consumed and depleted. Rather, fatigue that accompanies efforts to relieve suffering or to change a particular situation is more likely related to the inability to accept and understand that some suffering and pain is not fixable, no matter what the effort the outcome is not totally within anyone’s control.-even if one’s actions are motivated by laudable intentions. Fatigue that arises when there is attachment to a particular outcome (“we need to get the parents to agree to a DNR order”) and thus the term “attachment fatigue” may be more accurate. Is a form of secondary trauma characterized by exhaustion, helplessness and dysfunction as a result of prolonged exposure to compassion stress and trauma.Usually evolves in caring professionals who absorb the traumatic stress of those they help (Najjar et al , 2009).No uniform definitionMay be misnamed: Compassion cannot cause fatigue or that becomes fatigued

- SM -‘‘‘All dramatic stories always involve conflict,’’writes Professor Ian Johnston in his introductorylecture on Shakespeare. ‘‘Typically, the dramaticnarrative opens with some sense of normal society[.] Then something unusual and often unexpected happens to upset that normality. [.]Creates confusion and conflict. [.] Attemptsto understand what is going on or to deal withit simply compound the conflict, accelerating itand intensifying it. Finally, the conflict is resolved.’’3But,the resolution is not always prettydresulting in forgiveness and reintegration of society and personhood; in fact, the most famous andcompelling plays end in alienation, death, andsorrow. Literature has the advantage of creatingcoherence, even in the presence of unspeakabletragedy; after the hero’s demise, there is often lament and ‘‘a reflection of the significance of thelife which has now ended.’
- SM -As palliative care clinicians, when we remainwith a patient and his or her family as they struggle from tension to tension, we create room forthe possibility of catharsis. In doing so, we lendour strength, our curiosity about the possibilitythat their narrative will discover meaning, purpose, and harmony. By staying we don’t writethe ending but rather facilitate the potentialfor the protagonist to finish their ownstorydpreferably with less pain, distress, andloneliness. This we might call the harmony ofresolution, the narrative of hope, and the restoration of proportion and meaning.By developing a senseof curiosity toward dissonance we may discovera sense of wonder about the rich complexity ofthe human experience and develop mentalstability and courage.

- Here there is no medical solution. This illustrates the needs to draw on interdisciplinary expertise to find a meaningful solution for all involved. So now that we can acknowlegde moral distress, we can start working on solutions to fix it, but it would be even better if we had the means to prevent it in the first place and in fact we do
- To make matters even more challenging, the family Priest (they were Eastern Orthodox) was young – a year or two out of seminary. When he arrived in the ICU, he looked like a deer in the headlights with what seemed like the weight of the world on his shoulders.
- This is where we present a case: SM provides the narrative of the case, CR guides the listeners through the reflective process – what comes up in the body, in the mind, etc?Guide people through the case where we get people start by noticing.- What memories come up, what thoughts come up, how is your body responding?Then to guide people through this exploration… Often the conversation goes quickly to "we shouldn't be doing this… this is futile… etc."Monitor our own responses 'they are making me to things I don't want to do…" my role is to find compassion in their own situation… move away from judgement.Body scan - what's happening in you right now, what are you noticing? These are important pieces of information to use to respond to rather than react with.

- SM - But resolution does not always happen. Stories don’t always end well. We all know stories whose endings are tragic, no matter how much we practice this form of presence. So – what do we do? We lean on each other. We turn inwards and find others to teach us resilience and remind us. Perhaps this is through meditation, prayer, a walk through nature, a ski in deep powder, a hour enveloped in Mahler or Brahms or whatever music helps you to remember.For some, we practice compassion.
- CR
- SM – on contemplative practice/reflection on burnout, etc.Research has shown that the development of brief meditation or reflection practices can reduce negative affect, depression, and anxiety for those experiencing stress (Wachholtz & Pargament, 2005, 2008). Other studies have shown that when clinicians develop skills in reflection practices or practice some form of contemplation of their experiences of suffering, they experience decreased burnout, compassion-fatigue (Holland & Neimeyer, 2005; Kearney, Weininger, Vachon, Harrison, & Mount, 2009) and moral distress (Austin, Lemermeyer, Goldberg, Bergum, & Johnson, 2005).
