Abstract

In this commentary, we develop a conceptual proposal aimed to explain why a discourse of praise and admiration for healthcare professionals´ limitless dedication can trigger a general indifference to the burnout and suffering they experience. Ultimately, this can lead to the justification of the lack of resources dedicated to preventing these problems. We first start by pointing out the stigmatisation of healthcare professionals suffering from burnout and showing their vulnerability, highlighting the complex interactions that occur in the healthcare context and that increase the risk of perpetuating their suffering. Then, we appeal to the recognition of one's own vulnerability as a key element towards the creation of a culture more focused on the duty of care for those who care for others. We conclude with several proposals for action to cope with burnout-related stigma, trying to change the superhuman image of health personnel and incorporating the vulnerability inherent to human beings.

"超级英雄？不，谢谢"。接受医护人员的弱点。

在这篇评论中，我们提出了一个概念性建议，旨在解释为什么对医护人员无限奉献精神的赞美和钦佩会引发对他们所经历的职业倦怠和痛苦的普遍漠视。归根结底，这会导致为预防这些问题而投入的资源不足。我们首先指出了医护人员职业倦怠的污名化问题，并展示了他们的脆弱性，强调了在医护环境中发生的复杂的相互作用，这些相互作用增加了他们长期遭受痛苦的风险。然后，我们呼吁认识到自身的脆弱性，并将其作为创建一种更加注重关爱他人的文化的关键因素。最后，我们提出了几项行动建议，以应对与职业倦怠有关的耻辱，努力改变医务人员的超人形象，并将人类固有的脆弱性纳入其中。
