Caring for Caregivers
St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute hosts Schwartz Center Rounds, unique, sessions in which hospital staff explore the emotional side of caregiving.
Caregivers participate in these interactive discussions and share their experiences, thoughts and feelings on different topics. Past topics have included: delivering bad news; when religious or spiritual beliefs conflict with medical advice; taking care of a colleague; and losing a patient.
A comprehensive study of Schwartz Center Rounds has shown them to help caregivers connect better with patients emotionally; enhance their understanding of the effects of illness on patients and their families; improve communication among caregivers and decrease feelings of caregiver isolation and stress.
