Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help religious leaders, professional counselors, concerned family members, and individuals offer viable, appropriate levels of care to someone with an addiction problem, one who refuses to accept assisted-living conditions or comply with medical advice. Using tools in this book can increase awareness of the issue and acceptance of recovery. Learn how to avoid compassion fatigue while using healthy personal boundaries. Because these tools are likely used in an emotional setting, the least emotionally involved helper or leader is the best person for attempting an organized intervention. Concerned others may be able to find serenity after going through this process. This book teaches a mini-intervention or one-on-one short meeting as a setup for a full-blown maxi-intervention later, if necessary. If the maxi-intervention is not successful at first, next steps and consequences are taught. These steps are in keeping with Jesus’ instructions on how to approach someone with an issue. This book compiles thirty-nine years of studying and experience of achieving compliance with the best of care for someone refusing help with a serious issue. In using these steps and illustrations, 90 percent of the full maxi-interventions result in beginning the first stages of treatment or recovery.

Book excerpt: Compassion fatigue is highly prevalent in nursing and is devastating to the health of nurses. Patient safety, job performance and nurse retention are all affected by the presence of compassion fatigue. Evidence shows education is effective in reducing compassion fatigue by teaching skills such as emotional intelligence, positive coping mechanisms and self-care strategies. The risk of experiencing compassion fatigue as a result of empathetic engagement with patients, which is an expected component of quality nursing supports the need for ongoing education to prevent compassion fatigue. An education intervention to address skills needed to prevent compassion fatigue and inform nurses of the concept of compassion fatigue is proposed and is expected to increase job satisfaction. A culture which enables to nurses to experience empathetic engagement with patients without experience lasting negative effects produces job satisfaction for nurses. Using the ProQOL V survey and the McCloskey and Mueller Satisfaction Scale the levels of compassion fatigue and job satisfaction will be measured before and after the education intervention for compassion fatigue is completed to determine the effectiveness of the education.

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.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to explore Compassion Fatigue (CF), the associated signs and symptoms, and how to combat it through interventions, programs, and activities. Healthcare workers, especially those working in high acuity areas are at high risk for developing Compassion Fatigue. The focus has moved from accepting burnout as a definite to researching and implementing interventions to avoid it. Little has been published about Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), specifically Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants, especially in the Emergency Department (ED) setting. The research needed to provide specifics on the degree in which it affects personal and professional well-being for this group remains to be studied. Interactions with patients, patient outcomes, and the quality of professional life, specifically job satisfaction, are plentiful about nurses, but not APPs. This project looked to expand on these terms in relation to APP's. The ProQOL scale was administered after APPs were given modules at baseline, two months, and five months and scale scores were calculated. The three modules included definitions of key concepts, interventions to combat Compassion Fatigue, and ways to increase awareness in one self and others. Each module built on the foundation of the prior content. The thought was that after providing incremental modules, APPs would have lower levels of Compassion Fatigue on the ProQOL scale due to integration of the suggestions into daily practice. Professional quality of life is the balance between Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Satisfaction; it is finding the balance to continue to provide good care to patients. Findings of the study showed a weak correlation between increased hours worked per week and a higher score within the subset of burnout within CF category of the ProQOL scale. This was addressed with the scheduler to limit hours worked per week.

Types of interventions and evidence of its effectiveness on compassion fatigue hasn't been established.ObjectivesThe aim of the review is to determine effectiveness of the interventions to manage compassion fatigue in oncology nurses.MethodsElectronic databases (CINAHLu00ae, PubMed and WOS) were used for searching the studies with the following key words u201ccompassion fatigueu201d, u201cinterventions or strategiesu201d and u201concology nursingu201d. The methodology used for this systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Identified publications were screened by using the following inclusion criteria; randomized controlled trials (RCTs), intervention studies and English language full text journals published in last 10 years. Descriptive studies, reviews, conference abstracts, letters to the editor were excluded.ResultsThe initial search identified 64 articles and 8 studies met eligibility criteria. Majority (5) of the studies from USA and rest of them were from Canada and Portugal. Non-randomized, pre-test and post-test design were used in intervention studies. Most of the studies were pilot and included small sample ranging from 10 to 45 participants.Effectiveness of the interventions were measured by The Professional Quality of Life Scale. Mindfulness, support group, knitting and education were applied over 4 to 6 weeks period. The interventions were effective in decreasing compassion fatigue level except one study that using mobile application.ConclusionsThe findings of these small scale studies support that interventions can be effective in reducing nurses compassion fatigue.

This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This public inquiry report into serious failings in healthcare that took place at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust builds on the first independent report published in February 2010 (ISBN 9780102964394). It further examines the suffering of patients caused by failures by the Trust: there was a failure to listen to its patients and staff or ensure correction of deficiencies. There was also a failure to tackle the insidious negative culture involving poor standards and a disengagement from managerial and leadership responsibilities. These failures are in part a consequence of allowing a focus on reaching national access targets, achieving financial balance and seeking foundation trust status at the cost of delivering acceptable care standards. Further, the checks and balances that operate within the NHS system should have prevented the serious systemic failure that developed at Mid Staffs. The system failed in its primary duty to protect patients and maintain confidence in the healthcare system. This report identifies numerous warning signs that could and should have alerted the system to problems developing at the Trust. It also sets out 290 recommendations grouped around: (i) putting the patient first; (ii) developing a set of fundamental standards, easily understood and accepted by patients; (iii) providing professionally endorsed and evidence-based means of compliance of standards that are understood and adopted by staff; (iv) ensuring openness, transparency and candour throughout system; (v) policing of these standards by the healthcare regulator; (vi) making all those who provide care for patients , properly accountable; (vii) enhancing recruitment, education, training and support of all key contributors to the provision of healthcare; (viii) developing and sharing ever improving means of measuring and understanding the performance of individual professionals, teams, units and provider organisations for the patients, the public, and other stakeholders.

Book excerpt: First published in 1995. Traumatology, or the field of traumatic stress studies, has become a dominant focus of interest in the mental health fields only in the past decade. Yet the origin of the study of human reactions to traumatic events can be traced to the earliest medical writings in Kunus Pyprus, published in 1900 B.C. in Egypt. Many factors account for the recent emergence of this field, including a growing awareness of the long-term consequences of shocking events. Among these consequences are violence toward others, extraordinary depression, dysfunctional behavior, and a plethora of medical maladies associated with emotional stress. This is the latest in a series of books that have focused on the immediate and long-term consequences of highly stressful events. The purposes of the book, then, are (a) to introduce the concept of compassion fatigue as a natural and disruptive by-product of working with traumatized and troubled clients; (b) to provide a theoretical basis for the assessment and treatment of compassion stress and compassion fatigue: (c) to explain the difference between compassion fatigue and PTSD, burnout, and countertransference; (d) to identify innovative methods for treating compassion fatigue in therapists, and (e) to suggest methods for preventing compassion fatigue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapists and other helping professionals, such as teachers, doctors and nurses, social workers, and clergy, work in highly demanding fields and can suffer from burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary stress. This happens when they give more attention to their clients’ well being than their own. Both students and practitioners in these fields will find this book an essential guide to striking an optimal balance between self-care and other-care. The authors describe the joys and hazards of the work, the long road from novice to senior practitioner, the essence of burnout, ways to maintain the professional and personal self, methods experts use to maintain vitality, and a self-care action plan. Vivid real-life examples and self-reflection questions will engage and motivate readers to think about their own work and ways to enhance their own resilience. Eloquently written and supported by extensive research, helping professionals will find this a valuable resource both when a novice and when an experienced practitioner.

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.
