Setting boundaries involves defining one’s limits and communicating them to others. It is important to establish clear boundaries with colleagues, patients, and their families to avoid overworking and maintain a healthy work-life balance. To implement self-care and set boundaries, individuals can create a plan that includes self-care activities, setting realistic goals, and communicating boundaries to colleagues and patients.
It is also important to recognize warning signs of burnout, such as exhaustion and irritability, and seek support when needed. By prioritizing self-care and setting boundaries, individuals in the care industry can improve their mental and physical health, prevent burnout, and provide better care to their patients.
