Abstract

As we seek to maximize health outcomes and productivity while keeping costs down, we risk compassion fatigue. Carol Taylor, PhD, RN, looks at the work-family-leisure balance in caregiver's life, and who they are becoming by the choices they make every day about where and how to spend their time, energy and money.
