    Skovholt (2008) introduces the definition of burnout in this chapter of his book The resilient Practitioner and explains why it is critical to the therapeutic relationship to avoid it. He begins by defining “compassion fatigue” from Figley (1995. p.7) as the behaviors and emotions resulting from knowing about a traumatic event experienced by someone else and the resulting stress from wanting to or helping this person. Compassion fatigue is further distinguished from “burnout” by stating that it involves higher levels of helplessness and isolation from a support network than burnout.

  • Summary Of The Story Of Welfare Reform And The Human Services By Mimi Abramovitz

    Feelings of job dissatisfaction and burnout are not exclusive to social workers involved with the welfare system; in our profession, it is an issue that can be faced in any area, including clinical practice. It is easy to get stuck in feelings that one is not making progress with a certain client and feel demoralized as a result. The three concepts focused on in this article to avoid burnout when interacting with the welfare system can also be applied to clinical work. For instance, one can remind oneself that they are needed by the client. Even if the worker does not feel like s/he is being productive, the client keeps seeing him/her, which means that the client still feels s/he needs the help of the worker.

Many human service organizations offer very generous paid time off packages to their employees so that the employees have the opportunity to take time off for themselves or their families.

    Mindfulness involves being attentive and aware of what is going on in the present time (Heard, Hartman, & Bushardt, 2013). It includes various exercises, such as medication and guided breathing that can help to manage anxiety and depression, decrease levels of stress, and improve overall well-being (Heard, Hartman, & Bushardt, 2013). If a mindfulness-training program was integrated into hospital orientations, I believe that it would give nurses the necessary skills to help them become more resilient to the stressors they may face at work and consequently burnout as well. Additionally, although mindfulness will not completely solve the issue of nursing burnout, I trust that it could help to improve the well-being of nurses and thus their practice and even the health and well-being of those they are caring for. What are your opinions on mindfulness?

    One strength that I described earlier, compassion, could be an influential factor leading to burnout in my prospective career as a Psychologist. If in a highly stressful situation with a client, too much compassion or empathy regarding the situation may cause me to care too much for my client and forget my own self-care. If I were to have a patient who has experienced domestic violence, I believe it could cause me to become too emotionally invested in the patient, or cause myself to experience burnout or vicarious trauma. This is because I have previously been in a relationship with domestic violence. However, to be able to successfully help the people I am working with, which is my goal, I must be able to control my own emotions and not let them overwhelm me and possibly cause burnout or vicarious trauma.

    Healthcare systems may not be aware how much nurse burnout is really costing them.   As cited by Chang and Chan (2015) emotional exhaustion, a cynical attitude toward others and a decreased sense of personal achievement at work can alter a nurse 's ability to perform his or her job duties at a high level.  These symptoms can therefore negatively affect patient care, as nurses critical thinking, and problem solving capabilities may be compromised.  This shows that nurses suffering from compassion fatigue may not be giving effective patient care.
