From what we know about factors that may increase risks of compassion fatigue and burnout, having to limit visits for family members of critical ill and dying patients is likely to also have a negative impact on nurses by increasing their feelings of providing inadequate family-centred care. Restricting family visits, while a necessary measure to decrease the spread of COVID-19 to vulnerable patients and the community, is likely to have negative effects on families and nurses alike and these impacts need to be carefully considered. ./cache/cord-352141-y3s8li0v.txt ./txt/cord-352141-y3s8li0v.txt
