This review presents Nadine Lexa’s book on burnout and burnout prevention in palliative care. It explains that palliative and hospice work has lost its image as an untouched “oasis” because health-system pressures increasingly affect staff.
The book is praised for explaining burnout clearly and for focusing not only on problems but also on resources, resilience and creative prevention. It offers self-assessment tools and suggestions for complementary measures for team members. The review recommends it not only for palliative care professionals but for everyone working in health care.
