Overview :
Despite our commitment to the scientific method, caregivers are not nearly as rational and evidence-based as we tell ourselves that we are. Emotions permeate our clinical decision-making, whether we choose to acknowledge this or not. The presentation examines how emotions affect caregivers and the medical care they are able to give their patients.
Learning Objectives :
• Understand how emotions influence caregivers’ behavior.
• Discuss how caregiver emotions impact the delivery of medical care.
• Recognize situations in which their own emotions might have a negative or a positive impact on their patients.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
