Unmasking the Multiple Aspects of Caregiver Stress
Learn to navigate the complex dimensions of caregiver stress, uncovering strategies for resilience and well-being.
About this course
More than 50 million Americans are now caregivers, defined as someone who provides unpaid services to an adult or child who cannot provide for themselves. The emotional and physical issues that may develop from long-term care giving are not well understood and are frequently neglected by caregivers and health care providers alike, resulting in diminished health and quality-of-life for the care giver, as well as for those they care for. This online CE course discusses the various types of caregivers, associated responsibilities and the potential deleterious effects of caregiver stress and burnout on both patient and caregiver. Health care professionals can play a critical role in identifying and ameliorating caregiver distress by creating an environment that supports emotional expression, facilitates practical support and promotes resilience. How to create this responsive clinical environment for caregivers is explored. In addition, the course presents various assessment tools and theory- and evidenced-based clinical interventions that can be applied in caring for our caregivers, including the use of community resources.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Enjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
