| dc.description.abstract |
This study set forth to examine the rates of compassion fatigue among community health
providers. The study included 30 providers from one agency in Alameda County. Data for this project was collected utilizing one scale, The Professional Quality of Life Scale
(PRoQOL) Compassion Satisfaction and Fatigue Version 5. An additional 12 questions
were also asked to gather sociodemographic information from the participants. The
findings from this study indicated that participants possess a low level of compassion
fatigue, low to average burnout, low secondary traumatic stress, and high compassion
satisfaction. Recommendations for this project include agency promotion of self-care,
consistent supportive supervision, and the creation of supportive groups within the
provider’s environment. |
