Hospice care always presents its share of challenges, but with the median length of stay down to a bare 17 days, there’s less time to meet critical goals.
That reduced timeframe puts
added pressure on staff. This webinar will help caregivers engage clients in
specific, crucial conversations regarding denial, learned helplessness, and
avoidance. With caregiver burnout increasing, this session will reduce stress
by guiding them in these difficult, but necessary conversations.
AFTER THIS
WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Define “caregiver trauma”
- Discuss five challenges that can complicate caregiver grief
- Demonstrate two evidence-based skills that can be used when people are “guarded” or uncooperative
- Explain one method to employ when people say, “We don’t want dad to know he is dying”
- Distinguish between denial, learned helplessness, and cultural barriers
WEBINAR DETAILS
The most recent numbers from NHPCO show that 24% of
all hospice admissions are people with cancer and 24% are people with Alzheimer’s
and other dementia-related disorders. The data also shows that the median length of stay has dropped to just 17 days.
This means that care is more challenging and there is less time to accomplish
important goals.
It’s also true that caregiver stress, burnout, and
trauma have increased. It is more important than ever to refine your skill set to
maneuver around all these challenges, which include denial as a coping
strategy, learned helplessness, and avoidance related to culture and religious
traditions. This webinar will address these topics and more to specifically guide
caregivers through those important and meaningful conversations.
