Barker, R., Cornwell, J., Gishen, F. (2016) Introducing compassion into the education of health care professionals; can Schwartz Rounds help? Journal of Compassionate Health Care, 3 (3). ISSN 2053-2393. (doi:10.1186/s40639-016-0020-0) (KAR id:64103)

Abstract

Whilst health care professionals embark on their careers with high ideals these can be eroded by the pressures and stress of the system. This paper explores the problems, which may lead both students and professionals, working in health care, to feel isolated and stressed. It considers the value of Schwartz Rounds as an initiative that can be used to enhance student well-being and ultimately enable students to treat each other, colleagues and patients with more compassion.
