Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health professionals have a propensity to become secondarily affected by the suffering of their clients, which in turn may negatively impact their psychological wellbeing and increase their propensity to develop negative conditions, such as compassion fatigue. Barnett, Baker, Elman, and Schoener (2007) identified the incorporation of self-care practices as an ethical imperative for practicing clinicians in order to combat these negative effects and promote more effective counseling practice. Nonetheless, mental health professionals, both experienced and in training, struggle to incorporate and practice self-care. In light of this, wellness efforts and techniques are essential to promote clinicians’ self-care and stress management, in order to foster compassion satisfaction and decrease the susceptibility for compassion fatigue. The current study explored the role of mindfulness and self-compassion, as two constructs that may buffer against the impact of perceived stress on compassion fatigue and enhance compassion satisfaction. The results demonstrated that compassion satisfaction was highest among participants who endorsed higher mindfulness regardless of stress level. The observing subscale of mindfulness was associated with greater compassion fatigue, while the describing subscale of mindfulness buffered against the development of compassion fatigue. In contrast, although self-compassion was negatively associated with stress, compassion fatigue, and positively associated with compassion satisfaction there was not a significant moderating relationship between stress, self compassion, and compassion fatigue and satisfaction. There were also differences observed between trainees and experienced mental health professionals on aspects of mindfulness and self-compassion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we define compassion? Is it an emotional state, a motivation, a dispositional trait, or a cultivated attitude? How does it compare to altruism and empathy? Chapters in this Handbook present critical scientific evidence about compassion in numerous conceptions. All of these approaches to thinking about compassion are valid and contribute importantly to understanding how we respond to others who are suffering. Covering multiple levels of our lives and self-concept, from the individual, to the group, to the organization and culture, The Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science gathers evidence and models of compassion that treat the subject of compassion science with careful scientific scrutiny and concern. It explores the motivators of compassion, the effect on physiology, the co-occurrence of wellbeing, and compassion training interventions. Sectioned by thematic approaches, it pulls together basic and clinical research ranging across neurobiological, developmental, evolutionary, social, clinical, and applied areas in psychology such as business and education. In this sense, it comprises one of the first multidisciplinary and systematic approaches to examining compassion from multiple perspectives and frames of reference. With contributions from well-established scholars as well as young rising stars in the field, this Handbook bridges a wide variety of diverse perspectives, research methodologies, and theory, and provides a foundation for this new and rapidly growing field. It should be of great value to the new generation of basic and applied researchers examining compassion, and serve as a catalyst for academic researchers and students to support and develop the modern world.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background and Problem Statement. Compassion fatigue and burnout are commonly experienced by healthcare professionals due to working in stressful situations while utilizing their sense of self in the provision of care (Baguley et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2018). Compassion fatigue and burnout are attributed to high turnover rates seen in the nursing field, estimated to reach 400,000 by 2025 (Brown et al., 2018). In addition to the financial burden incurred by healthcare systems, burnout can have detrimental health consequences for the nurses (Ameli et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2019; Pospos et al., 2018). Although most employers provide access to employee assistance programs and promote self-care, accessible and effective stress reduction strategies are rarely used in real-time. Addressing these issues through the implementation of strategies and supportive programs rooted in mindfulness has the potential to decrease burnout and improve retention (Brown et al., 2018). The need to address these issues inspires the following question: Does implementation of a mindfulness-based intervention in the workplace reduce the development of compassion fatigue and burnout among nurses and other healthcare professionals? Purpose and Aims. The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate a mindfulness-based intervention for high-risk providers in a long-term healthcare facility. The aims of this project were: (a) to assess a baseline level of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue, which includes burnout and secondary traumatic stress, among the healthcare staff members; (b) to implement an effective and accessible mindfulness-based intervention; and (c) reduce the negative implications related to compassion fatigue and burnout. Implications for Practice. This project provided findings regarding the current levels of burnout and compassion fatigue experienced by patient-facing staff members and provided effective mindfulness-based strategies that can be utilized to actively mitigate stress and promote resiliency in the workplace. These findings should prompt future allocation of resources toward the reduction of burnout and compassion fatigue at the organizational level"--Abstract.

This book is full of practical wisdom and advice for those in the helping professions and caregivers.

But more than that, it educates those in the helping professions and in caregiver roles about the importance of strategies for consistent self-care. Find out how you may be putting yourself at risk and learn skills, techniques and strategies to restore and maintain self regulation, physical and emotional wellness and inner calm while still caring for those in need. You owe it to yourself. About the Author Beverly Kyer has a Master's Degree in Social Work and is a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers.

Beverly also spent more than a decade as a direct care service provider in the foster care system. She also spent seven years as an urban high school counselor, providing emotional and psychological support for students and staff. Two episodes of heart failure led Beverly to make a major downshift in her life by resigning from full time employment, joining the self-employed, and devoting her life to help others who work in highly stressful environments. Beverly lectures around the country on compassion fatigue, which is sometimes known as secondary or vicarious traumatic stress. Beverly has three grown children: two sons and an adopted daughter, and she lives in Northern California in a quiet cul-de-sac near the delta.

This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overwhelming empirical evidence indicates that new social workers, particularly those going into child welfare or other trauma-related care, will discover emotional challenges including the indirect or secondary effects of the trauma work itself, professional burnout, and compassion fatigue. However, the newly revised CSWE Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) does not mandate the inclusion of content related to self-care in social work curriculum or field education. In a textbook that bridges the gap between theoretical and pragmatic approaches to this important issue in human service work, Jason M. Newell provides a potential resolution by conceptualizing self-care as an ongoing and holistic set of practice behaviors described as the key to professional resilience. To address the effects of trauma-related care on direct practitioners, Newell provides a comprehensive, competency-based model for professional resilience, examining four key constructs—stress, empathy, resilience, and self-care—from a range of theoretical dimensions. For those who work with vulnerable populations, the tendency to frame self-care solely within organizational context overlooks the importance of self-care in domains beyond the agency setting. Alternatively, he uses a framework grounded in the ecological-systems perspective conceptualizing self-care as a broader set of practice behaviors pertaining to the whole person, including the physical, interpersonal, organizational, familial, and spiritual domains of the psychosocial self. Alongside professional self-care practices at the organizational level, Newell makes a case for the pragmatic role of recreational activities, time with family and friends, physical health, spirituality, and mindfulness. The application of a comprehensive approach to self-care practice has potential to empower practitioners to remain resilient and committed to the values, mission, and spirit of the social work profession in the face of trauma.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the relationship between compassion fatigue and trauma-informed supervision. West (2015) described compassion fatigue as the adverse emotional or behavioral outcomes of assisting a client who is suffering from trauma. Compassion fatigue is a workplace problem recognized in human service organizations. Components of compassion fatigue are burnout, lowered levels of compassion satisfaction, and secondary traumatic stress. The organizational climate and culture of helping professionals may help alleviate compassion fatigue through support of self-care, peer support, trauma-informed supervision support, and professional recognition. This research project utilized mixed methods to collect data from staff of two mid-sized human service agencies to explore the relationship between compassion fatigue and trauma-informed supervision. Survey's utilized include the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL Version 5; Stamm, 2010) to measure compassion fatigue in lower-level workers and a researcher-developed Trauma-informed Supervisory Support survey to measure the knowledge retention and type of trauma-informed supervision given by supervisors. One focus group with lower-level worker participants were held with each agency. Social work implications include modifications to current theory, practice, and/or policy.

Book excerpt: This study explored the impact of self-care, burnout and compassion fatigue on mental health social workers. This correlational study was designed to provide a fuller understanding of this relationship. Stamm’s Theory of Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue and Orem’s self-care deficit theory served as the theoretical foundations of this study. The sample included 38 members of Millwood Hospital and the three Excel Centers, who volunteered to participate in this study. Participants completed online versions of the demographics questionnaire, Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL), and Self-Care Assessment Work Sheet (SCAW). Correlation, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple linear regressions were performed to test research hypotheses concerning associations between self-care and effects of burnout, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction among social workers in healthcare settings. Study results indicated no significant correlation between self-care practices and participants’ level of burnout, compassion fatigue, or compassion satisfaction. However, the regression model revealed a significant association between external self-care practices and lower levels of burnout and compassion fatigue. Practice implications are highlighted and discussion of future research on the relationship among self-care practices, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction are discussed.

Book excerpt: Paul Gilbert brings together an international line-up of leading scholars and researchers in the field to provide a state-of-the-art exploration of key areas in compassion research and applications. Compassion can be seen as a core element of prosocial behaviour, and explorations of the concepts and value of compassion have been extended into different aspects of life including physical and psychological therapies, schools, leadership and business. While many animals share abilities to be distress sensitive and caring of others, it is our newly evolved socially intelligent abilities that make us capable of knowingly and deliberately helping others and purposely developing skills and wisdom to do so. This book generates many research questions whilst exploring the similarity and differences of human compassion to non-human caring and looks at how compassion changes the brain and body, affects genetic expression, manifests at a young age and is then cultivated (or not) by the social environment. Compassion: Concepts, Research and Applications will be essential reading for professionals, researchers and scholars interested in compassion and its applications in psychology and psychotherapy.
