Literature on staff stress and burnout in hospices has identified the source of stress in hospice workers to be mostly work-related issues, rather than caring for the dying. Staff support groups have traditionally been one method of providing support to hospice workers, however it's recognised they don't work for everyone. This article examines staff support in hospices and recommends how to make support groups as effective as possible.
