This program is facilitated by Sean Kaufman, CEO and Founding Partner of Safer Behaviors (USA).
Fatigue is a significant problem in public health emergency situations because of job demands, long hours, disruption of the norm, and prolonged exhaustion - losing sleep, decreasing exercise, and increasing poor dietary practices. Fatigue is also a work place hazard and directly affects the quality of both science and safety. This program will discuss Pandemic Fatigue, symptoms, and solutions which can be implemented to manage the effects of fatigue.
In doing research for this session, it reminded me of a Guest Editorial I did 10 Years ago. Please consider reading this as a primer for the upcoming session.
