A-3C Preventing Compassion Fatigue in Patient Caregivers (CE)

Room 5B Sponsored by the Nurses Committee The provision of compassion is a hallmark of nurses, mental health providers, and other healthcare professionals. Unfortunately, this can become psychologically and emotionally taxing to some caregivers. Figley (1983) described compassion fatigue as a condition encountered by those who aid people in distress, and that it can lead to compromised care due to care providers’ increasing indifference to their patients’ suffering. It is important that nurses and other caregivers have a professional quality of life, as deficiencies in this area can contribute to compassion fatigue. There are many approaches to preventing compassion fatigue, including increased self-care and improving awareness regarding its causes and symptoms through education. Learning Objectives: • Define compassion fatigue and how it differs from burnout. • Identify stressors that contribute to compassion fatigue. • Identify strategies to prevent compassion fatigue.
