NHIS Holds 'Healing Camp for Healthcare Workers to Overcome Burnout'

The National Health Insurance Service announced on the 24th that it held a "Healing Camp for Healthcare Workers to Overcome Burnout" over two days from the 22nd to the 23rd.

This event was promoted to provide emotional stability and psychological damage healing opportunities for 17 frontline workers, including nurses and administrative staff, who have accumulated stress and fatigue due to the high workload and tension in medical institutions. The program, held at the National Daejeon Forest Center located on the slopes of Bingaesan in Daejeon, focused on healing activities for physical and psychological health recovery, such as forest guiding and log meditation, in harmony with the forest.

An official from the Service stated, "We hope this healing camp will be an opportunity for healthcare workers who participated to break down mental barriers, shift to positive thinking, and enhance their stress resistance and resilience," adding, "We will continue to prepare measures to provide opportunities for emotional and psychological healing through programs aimed at overcoming burnout among healthcare workers."

Meanwhile, since being designated as a specialized institution for healthcare workforce support under the Healthcare Workforce Support Act enacted in 2019, the Service has been operating the "Healthcare Workforce Human Rights Violation Counseling Center" since August 2021 to support healthcare personnel.
