Peer-Reviewed Literature
Published in Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, this article seeks to design an acceptable, scalable, and testable intervention tailored to the needs of palliative care clinicians. This study lays out an upstream, early-intervention paradigm for approaching clinician resilience, a conceptual model, and a curriculum for a resilience intervention based on eight resilience skills. The intervention includes a clinician perception survey, focuses on individual skill building, and evaluates measures of resilience, coping, and affect.
