Today’s show will address the workplace challenges that contribute to risk and impact substance use disorder in healthcare environments, which is a critical issue facing professionals in our industry. Our guests today, Luci New, DNP, CRNA and Linda Stone, DNP, CRNA, both have a passion for wellness and understand the unique stressors faced by anesthesia providers. We’ll hear about their personal experiences and discuss the implications of minority stress theory, workplace violence, and the stigma surrounding substance use disorder.
Broadcasting from the AANA Annual Congress in San Diego, we wanted to sit down with these two impressive CRNAs to explore the health and illness continuum, and the role of compassion fatigue and burnout. There’s a complex interplay between workplace challenges and SUD in healthcare and we hope this episode can benefit an anesthesia professional experiencing this first-hand.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- The specific wellness threats for anesthesia providers.
- The different types of stress that CRNAs face.
- Is there a lasting impact from the COVID pandemic that could be a risk for SUD?
- How burnout relates to compassion fatigue and the risks associated.
- What we know about SUD and the relationships between mental health, suicide and SUD.
- The consequences and countermeasures of SUD in the anesthesia profession.
