This is very important . Childrens palliative care tends to be long and the progressions of medical condition uncertain. emotional , caregiver , burnout fatigue is likely to set in .
Because of the inherent nature of being in care for children members may not be able ti handle as they may relate to their own families at home of similar age sex to patient .
this may have its own complications worse still if the patient dies .
Self care is thus needed so that the team can continue to serve throughout the winding journey.
The pediatric palliative care team is wide and diverse thus without self care there is risk of fatigue contributing to conflict thus compromising the team work spirit
