In healthcare, managing patient load while prioritizing self-care is essential for sustainability. Here are strategies to maintain that balance:
- Schedule regular breaks to decompress and prevent burnout. Even short pauses can rejuvenate your mind.
- Set clear boundaries with work hours and patient interactions to protect your personal time.
- Seek support from colleagues or a professional network to share experiences and coping strategies.

Sabemos que é complexo gerenciar a carga de trabalho e o próprio cuidado, ambos nos pressionam a sermos cuidadosos. Como fazermos boas entregas, se não estivermos bem? Estar sensibilizado sobre a importância e como nos cuidar é um bom começo e isto inclui priorizar o mínimo que seja as pequenas pausas, e comprovadamente isto envolve o apoio social vertical e horizontal, respectivamente lideranças e colegas de trabalho.
Every day, ask yourself: How do I feel today? Do I have the energy to manage my day while caring for patients? Do I need a break or professional support for my well-being? Usually, healthcare professionals neglect their own physical and mental health. But the sad true is that we cannot be the best health providers for our patients, if we do not follow our own health advice.
