Stages of caregiver burnout
Stage one: Caregiver stress
Stress arises due to a sudden shift in the role of a caregiver. Handling the news, understanding treatment, gathering resources can lead to extreme stress and worry along with frustration.
Stage two: Caregiver burnout
As overwhelming feelings continue, prolonged stress leads to a state of breakdown. Neglecting of self in the process of caregiving and isolation may increase.
Stage three: Compassion Fatigue
A state of emotional and physical collapse where the caregiver has reduced ability to empathize towards the receiver and causes severe emotional distress.
