This book was released on 2014 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents a study of stress and stress-related issues-more specifically, those of burnout, work compassion, and job satisfaction in the population of professionals working in vocational rehabilitation in Republic of Slovenia. Our findings revealed that, on average, the professional workers experience stress as medium high. Further analyses between various subgroups of the population of professional workers revealed that fixed-term workers are under significantly more stress than permanent ones. Stress factors included high work demands, time pressure, and too many administrative tasks. Participants reported making decisions, especially making risky decisions, and the feeling of being undervalued as being the main causes of frustration at work. Main sources of stress stem from the organization of work (legislation, rules, and other institutions). The population of professional workers was also highly exposed to compassion fatigue, which was a risk factor for burnout. These findings raise questions about assertiveness and call for a systemic approach. Based on these results, those proposed activities target developing skills for effective coping with stress, both on the individual and system levels.

Download or read book Overcoming Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in Schools written by Alison L. Dubois and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the cumulative effects of working with high trauma populations as they pertain to education settings. This text incorporates current research, anecdotal stories, and workbook pages so that practitioners are properly informed on how to identify and employ protective practices when it comes to burnout and compassion fatigue. Educators rarely receive training that prepares them for working with children and youth who are the victims of neglect, abuse, poverty, and loss. Education professionals who are already overburdened with an overwhelming number of job-related tasks can find themselves depleted due to their care and concern for their most vulnerable students. As a result, educators experience the physical and emotional symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue. Appropriate for both young and experienced educators, this important text provides a clear and concise approach to the topic of burnout and compassion fatigue that engages the reader in a journey of self-reflection, highlighting potential signs and symptoms of burnout, as well as examining how the school environment and individual characteristics might collide to put educators at risk. Most importantly, this book provides guidance and resources to assist educators in implementing both individual and organizational practices that promote long-term resilience and self-care. To be at their most effective, educators must be able to care for themselves while also caring for their students.

Star and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the relationship between compassion fatigue, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and self-care among counselors and counselors-in-training. Additionally, the current study investigated if recent life changes, age, sex, race, years of experience, education level, and work/internship setting impacted counselors' and counselors'-in-training self-reports of compassion fatigue, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and self-care. A total of 253 counselors and counselors-in-training were surveyed through a professional conference, internship classes, and email listservs. Variables were measured through the use of a demographic questionnaire, the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL 5), the Self-Care Assessment Worksheet (SCAW), and the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire (RLCQ). Pearson-product moment correlations, analysis of variances (ANOVAs), and t-tests were utilized to determine potential relationships between variables. Results indicated that recent life changes impact both burnout and compassion fatigue. Compassion satisfaction appeared to influence burnout, but not compassion fatigue. Results also determined that burnout and compassion fatigue are positively correlated with each other. When examining the demographic variables, results revealed that women experience higher levels of compassion fatigue than men. Burnout was found to be higher for participants who are working or interning in agency and school settings than those in private practices or hospitals. Participants in agency and school settings were also found to be associated with lower amounts of self-care than those in private practices. Nonstudent agency workers were determined to have higher amounts of compassion satisfaction with age and increased engagement in psychological self-care activities. However, self-care was negatively correlated with compassion satisfaction for participants in school settings.

Download or read book Compassion Fatigue Burnout and Compassion Satisfaction in Counseling and Clinical Psychologists written by Lisa M. Nail and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compassion fatigue is the sudden and acute onset of psychological and physical symptoms that undermine a helping professional's ability to maintain an empathic, objective, and caring perspective of their clients. Compassion fatigue challenges the helping professional's ability to maintain personal and professional relationships. The wearing down of the mental health professional's resources can result in subpar treatment for clients, psychological and physical health problems for the helping professional, as well as stress on the personal support system of the helping professional. Other constructs associated with compassion fatigue are burnout and compassion satisfaction. Burnout is the response of helping professionals to prolonged exposure to stressful client experiences and the interpersonal demands of helping others. Burnout tends to result in emotional exhaustion, professional ineffectiveness, and depersonalization within helping professionals. The gradual progression of burnout may lead clinicians to experience a sense of helplessness in effecting positive change. On the other hand, compassion satisfaction is an internal sense of reward and fulfillment in providing help and service to others. This protective mechanism helps maintain a helping professional's sense of well-being and effectiveness in providing care. This study examined compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in doctorate level clinical and counseling psychologists. Additional variables of interest were: age, gender, years in practice, area of specialty, population served, and work setting. Results indicated a strong positive correlation between compassion fatigue/STS and burnout and a strong negative correlation between compassion satisfaction and burnout.

This book was released on 2008-05-19 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many mental health practitioners present symptoms that are consistent with their clients' anxiety and stress-related disorders. It comes as no surprise, then, that "counselor impairment" - the stress that comes from treating survivors of traumatic events - is now officially recognized by the American Counseling Associations' Task Force on Counselor Wellness. "Empathy Fatigue" is a term coined by the author after his own experience serving on the crisis response team for the Westside Middle School shootings in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Remarkably, symptoms of empathy fatigue are evident amongst a broad range of professionals: those who treat victims of stressful and traumatic events; those who treat persons with abuse, mood, anxiety, and stress-related disorders; as well as those who work in career and vocational settings or with people with mental and physical disabilities. This guide is also meant for all these groups. This book provides a repertoire of strategies, techniques, and insight designed to increase personal resiliency and decrease counselor burnout and fatigue: Self-assessment approaches, with an in-depth analysis of empathy fatigue and an explanation of this phenomenon from a mind, body, and spiritual perspective. Detailed case studies and suggested questions for self-assessments and self-care. A variety of self-care approaches, providing guidelines to counselors and clinicians to identify their own emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. .

Download or read book The Day I Reached My Tipping Point written by Daryl B Sutter and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The target audience is education. The age range spans from new teachers in their twenties to veteran teachers. Teachers are found in every geographical region of the world. What they don’t realize, is that through policies, procedures, technology upgrades, parental and administrative as well as government expectations, their psychological well-being is slowly being depleted. The erosion of their compassion and empathy over time leads to anxiety, stress, depression, and burnout which are the themes of this book This depletion can result in qualified, skilled individuals leaving the profession early; others, to seek different career opportunities, or stay in the system just “going with the flow”; potentially eroding their personal values, belief system and principles. The key outcomes from this book are three-fold: first, an understanding of what compassion fatigue (CF) or Occupational Stress Injury (OSI) is and how it can impact an educator. Second, that the causes are identifiable, and that steps can be taken to ward it off. And, finally, for the reader to understand that there is hope and recovery. The main objective of the book is to make educators aware of CF and OSI. CF and OSI in educators can be a slow gradual process where teachers may not even realize the effects until something uncharacteristic occurs because he/she has “just snapped”. Upon recognizing CF/OSI in their life and/or career, readers are encouraged to contact the author at the supplied email address ([email protected]) to share anonymous events, stories and/or occurrences of how, when and why CF/OSI impacted their professional and personal life. These would then be used to. supplement another book, “Tales from the trenches”. The book is a supplement of my counselling, therapist and educational consulting business; Sutter and Associates.

Ringenbach and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One hundred sixty-four professional counselors completed an on-line survey that included the PRO-QOL (Professional Quality of Life Scale) and the SCS (Self-Compassion Scale). Participants also completed a demographic questionnaire that included length of meditation practice and other self-care practices. Results of a MANCOVA revealed that the meditation practice group (N=62) reported significantly higher levels self-compassion, while showing lower levels of burnout than their non-meditating peers (N=102) when controlling for Social Desirability. Further, the current study found that measures of self-compassion were positively associated with measures of compassion satisfaction (r=0.387, p=0.01) and negatively associated with measures of burnout (r= -0.525, p=0.01) and compassion fatigue (r=-0.452, p=0.01). These results are congruent with the promising research that has been conducted on the relatively new construct of self-compassion, suggesting its utility and value to the growing fields of positive psychology and professional wellness. In addition, post hoc analyses (ANCOVA) revealed that self-care time was found to have a significant impact on compassion satisfaction, suggesting that individuals who practice more than 5 hours of self-care per week have higher levels of compassion satisfaction than their colleagues who reported less self-care time. Limitations included a convenience sample of participants (recruited from state associations and professional list serves) and a fairly stringent definition of meditation practice (at least 60 minutes per week, at least 6 months of practice). Implications for training and practice, which includes the responsibility of training programs to include formal instruction in self-care practices, are presented along with recommendations for future research."--Abstract.
