Compassion Satisfaction, Compassion Fatigue, Work Life Conditions, and Burnout Among Frontline Mental Health Care Professionals
Frontline mental health care professionals (FMHPs) in a variety of roles such as nursing, social work, psychology, psychiatry, case managers and mental health workers are often required to provide a high degree of care to clients over time which can result in physical and psychological complaints often referred to as compassion fatigue (CF). The aim of this nonexperimental, cross sectional study was to determine the relationships among compassion satisfaction (CS), compassion fatigue (CF), work life conditions and burnout among FMHPs. The Professional Quality of Life Revision IV (ProQOL), the Areas of Work Life Survey, Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and a Demographic Data sheet were completed by 169 FMHPs. Consistent with our hypothesis, higher levels of compassion satisfaction, lower levels of compassion fatigue, and higher overall degree of fit in the six areas of work life were predictive of lower burnout in FMHPs.
