2011 AJN Book of the Year The Comfort Garden
The 2011 AJN Book of the Year, The Comfort Garden, by Laurie Barkin, RN, MS now is available for sale through Moss Communications' online store. The Comfort Garden is a truly unique memoir of a psychiatric nurse consultant's experience working on the surgical/trauma unit at San Francisco General Hospital. In rapid pace reading, the reader will gain entry into the jarring world of a trauma unit and get a glimpse of the emotional cost to caregivers who witness other people's pain and suffering.
As we begin to measure the impact of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma on health care professionals and the toll it exacts on professionals and the care they deliver, clinicians and administrators are using The Comfort Garden as a tool for training and healing.
