This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has revealed the direction that future social work studies should go. This analysis and the studies that came before it concentrated their attention mainly on the person, namely the encounters with anxiety and supervision they have had. Future studies may focus on the organizational design of social work to investigate potential solutions to the stress-related problems that might be found within its systems. This possible study would mainly assist in creating strategies at the macro and mezzo levels to minimize and avoid stress connected to the workplace. The findings revealed no relationship between the number of years and the amount of stress caused by their work-related responsibilities in the preceding year.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The objective of this study is to better understand the risk of compassion satisfaction (the satisfaction from helping others), burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of personal achievements), and secondary traumatic stress (the trauma experienced by the helping professionals), and paradigms. This study was conducted at Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) staff members at the Van Nuys Regional Office, using the Professional Quality of Life Scale (PROQOL) (Stamm, 2010). This study analyzed whether DCFS social workers experienced burnout in their workplace. Additionally, our goal was to test the relationship of these paradigms to one another. A self-report instrument developed by Dr. Stamm. (PROQOL) was used to measure the risk of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and the potential for secondary traumatic stress among 17 social workers working with children who had been abused and/or neglected. Results of this study indicate that participants scored low on all three scales; compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.

Download or read book Burnout in Child Welfare Workers written by Mary Mcfarland and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: Burnout affects the quality of services provided to clients, the health and wellbeing of employees, and contributes to the infamously high turnover rates in social work. The purpose of this study is to use the professional quality of life model and the constructivist self-development theory to explore how social support and work-related factors influence risk of burnout. Research questions: 1) Does social support serve as a protective factor? 2) Are there other contributing factors that increase risk of burnout? Methods: Qualtrics was used to create an online survey, administered via email to 55 employees of the Department of Social Services. The survey included the Professional Quality of Life scale and Berlin Social Support Scales. Results: The only hypothesized significant relationship found was between number of hours worked per week and secondary traumatic stress. Another significant finding was that compassion satisfaction was higher in older social workers. Discussion: A larger sample is needed to show additional significant correlations. Future research should focus on gaining a better understanding of the causes of burnout and secondary traumatic stress in order to increase compassion satisfaction and other protective factors to proactively treat the problem.
Download or read book Burnout in the Helping Profession written by Lakesha Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: This research explored the relationship between compassion satisfaction and burnout among helping professionals, specifically within the field of social work. Methods: Anonymous online survey of adults 18 and older (N=423) with at least 3 months experience in the social work field. Compassion satisfaction, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, depersonalization, and personal achievement were measured using two self-assessment tools: the Professional Quality of Life scale (ProQOL) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Results: The more experienced social workers (those with five years or more in the field) reported higher levels of compassion satisfaction and personal achievement, and lower levels of burnout, depersonalization, and secondary traumatic stress than less experienced social workers. Discussion: These findings support previous research that a sense of mastery in the field increases compassion satisfaction. Social workers should use emotional support, clinical supervision, practice self-care strategies, continuous training, and use evidence-based practices to mitigate the negative effects of burnout, compassion fatigue, and depersonalization.

Book excerpt: In the social work field, burnout, vicarious trauma, secondary trauma and compassion fatigue are all terms often used to describe exhaustion from seeing clients. This is a serious and prevalent issue that social workers must work on consciously to combat or address. Social workers play a key role in helping clients recover from trauma, which in turn puts them at risk of experiencing indirect trauma such as vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. Unfortunately, social work students are at an even greater risk of experiencing forms of indirect trauma as they are often unprepared to cope with new experiences as novices to working with families who are experiencing trauma. While there have been studies on reducing indirect trauma of practitioners, there is a lack of research on the experiences of social work students in field placements, and on the crucial role of supervision in supporting students to cope with exposure to trauma. In response, this paper conducts a systematic review of the literature for the purpose of answering the following research questions. First, are social work students prepared with the tools to identify burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and secondary trauma? Second, have social work students been taught the skills to identify and measure burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and secondary trauma in the classroom or supervision? Third, do they know ways to effectively identify the warning signs and ways to prevent and treat burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and secondary trauma within themselves? Fourth, what recommendations for planning, implementing, and evaluating the students' experiences and needed support in these areas are provided to benefit social work education?

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study had a primary goal of understanding measurements of burnout, compassion satisfaction, and secondary traumatic stress in the Christian helping population. A secondary goal of this research was to measure correlations between these three variables with other professional and helping related variables in the Christian helping population. The researchers utilized an online survey platform to conduct research with the Professional Quality of Life Scale, the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Global Psychotrauma Scale, and the Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey. Participant (N=55) responses were found to reveal significantly high levels of burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress in the sample when compared to normative data. Correlations between the three main variables and many of the other variables were found to be significant, in particular the variables assessed by the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (intrusion, avoidance, and arousal) and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (religious and emotional well-being). In light of the primary findings of this study, clinicians and Christian groups should examine support structures for Christian helpers and in particular for those who are involved in trauma helping.

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.
Download or read book The Effects of Secondary Trauma on Professionals Working with Victims and Survived Traumatized Individuals written by Rita Konistan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on secondary traumatisation suggests that there is a certain overlap in terminologies used in the literature that are related to the concept of secondary traumatic stress. These interchangeable concepts include vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, burnout and countertransference. The main aims of the current study are to investigate the differences between various terms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) including secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout. The present research also aims to investigate the impact (direct and indirect influences) of secondary trauma on professionals working with victims and survived traumatized individuals. It was predicted that health workers who are exposed to psychological or physical traumas would experience secondary traumatic stress. In addition, it was also hypothesized that there would be gender differences in the intensity of secondary traumatic stress reactions. Longer years of employment were predicted to relate to lower levels of secondary traumatic stress. Furthermore, the profession would moderate the relationship between years of employment and secondary traumatic stress. A sample of 210 professional staff, working in several hospitals and private clinics, and representing health and social care councils in London, United Kingdom completed four self-reported questionnaires measuring secondary traumatic stress. Several hypotheses were postulated and tested using correlation and hierarchical regression analyses. The results showed that a majority of professionals working with traumatized patients displayed symptoms related to secondary traumatic stress, in particular those professionals new to the field. However, a greater reduction in symptoms was observed the longer an individual had spent in the profession. This finding has suggested years of experience may help professionals employ resiliency against severe traumatic events. Other interesting findings reported in this study suggested that females are inclined to experience higher secondary traumatic stress symptoms than males, regardless of years of experience. The reported findings seem to be consistent with previously undertaken research (Figley 1995; Miller and McGowen 2000; Robinson 2003; Sonneck and Wagner 1996; Stamm 2000). It should be emphasized here that extra care, attention and support are essential to new healthcare providers, especially during their first year of work. Researchers also need to develop intervention programmes that will assist healthcare providers in their vital work in trauma care settings ? recognizing and dealing with the early stages of secondary stress symptoms and reactions is of the utmost importance.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In order to better understand stress and coping among Egyptian child protection social workers, this study aimed to: 1) assess the levels of burnout, secondary trauma and compassion satisfaction they experience; 2) discover to what extent they relied on religion and social support to cope with stress; and 3) to see if religion and social support along with gender and years of experience explained levels of burnout, secondary trauma and compassion satisfaction. A total of 80 male and female child protection social workers who had varying years of experience were given scales that measured their overall job-related stress levels (measured by ProQOL, version 5) as well as their use of religious and emotional and instrumental social support coping strategies (measured by two scales from the COPE Inventory). In addition, participants listed the top three things they did when feeling work-related stress. It was found that child protection social workers exhibited average levels of job-related stress (burnout and secondary traumatic stress) and high levels of compassion satisfaction. It was also found that they used religious coping more than coping through emotional or instrumental social support. Gender and years of experience did not have a significant effect on use of the three types of coping strategies or on the levels of stress (burnout and secondary traumatic stress) or compassion satisfaction. To see if the coping strategies of instrumental social support, emotional social support and religion along with gender and years of experience were predictors of burnout, secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction, multiple regression analyses were run. Results showed that only religion significantly predicted higher levels of burnout and only emotional social support significantly predicted higher levels of secondary trauma. It also showed that both religion and instrumental social support significantly predicted higher levels of compassion satisfaction. The implications of this research for reducing stress and supporting successful coping are discussed.

Download or read book Compassion Fatigue Curriculum Infusion written by Miranda Vanessa Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looked at a developed and implemented compassion fatigue workshop for Bachelor's and Master's level social work students. Looking at an overall sample of 108 students, students reported higher than average levels of compassion satisfaction, comparable levels of burnout and higher than average levels of secondary traumatic stress compared to a national sample of human service professionals on the Professional Quality of Life Scale 5 (ProQOL 5). Results indicated that self-compassion, mindfulness and over-identification were significantly associated with scores on the ProQOL 5, suggesting that self-compassion and mindfulness may help students prevent and cope with compassion fatigue while over-identification may be a risk factor. The number of years a student had been working in the field was significantly negatively associated with scores on the ProQOL 5, signifying that the more experience a student had in the field, the lower their reported levels of secondary traumatic stress. Students reported that they used information from the workshops, implementing it in a variety of ways in their internships such as utilizing the learned coping strategies themselves, sharing them with clients and recognizing signs of compassion fatigue in field placement supervisors and colleagues. These results demonstrate the importance of continuing to educate students about compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress.
