Death Cafes for Prevention of Burnout

Evidence Base:

Hospital-based Death Cafés are easy to implement, inexpensive, require little planning and yet offer tremendous reward to participants. Should the phenomenon of Death Cafés take off in hospitals as it has in communities internationally, we propose that this intervention be studied for its effect on healthcare worker burnout.

Relevance to the Canadian Context:

There are death cafes in Canada however they are community based not in the hospital setting.
