compassion fatigue and burnout can impact on the performance of midwives, with this quantitative paper exploring the relationship between self-compassion, burnout, compassion fatigue, self-judgement, self-kindness, compassion for others, professional quality of life and well-being of student midwives.
a quantitative survey measured relationships using questionnaires: (1) Professional Quality of Life Scale; (2) Self-Compassion Scale; (3) Short Warwick and Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale; (4) Compassion For Others Scale.
a purposive and convenience sample of student midwives (n=103) studying at university participated in the study.
just over half of the sample reported above average scores for burnout. The results indicate that student midwives who report higher scores on the self-judgement sub-scale are less compassionate towards both themselves and others, have reduced well-being, and report greater burnout and compassion fatigue. Student midwives who report high on measures of self-compassion and well-being report less compassion fatigue and burnout.
student midwives may find benefit from 'being kinder to self' in times of suffering, which could potentially help them to prepare for the emotional demands of practice and study.
developing, creating and cultivating environments that foster compassionate care for self and others may play a significant role in helping midwives face the rigours of education and clinical practice during their degree programme.
同情疲劳和职业倦怠会影响助产士的工作表现，这篇定量研究论文探讨了自我同情、职业倦怠、同情疲劳、自我评判、自我仁慈、对他人的同情、职业生活质量以及助产专业学生的幸福感之间的关系。
一项定量调查使用问卷来测量各种关系：（1）职业生活质量量表；（2）自我同情量表；（3）沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康简短量表；（4）对他人的同情量表。
选取了在大学学习的助产专业学生作为有目的的便利样本（n = 103）参与研究。
略多于一半的样本报告职业倦怠得分高于平均水平。结果表明，在自我评判子量表上得分较高的助产专业学生对自己和他人的同情心较弱，幸福感较低，职业倦怠和同情疲劳程度较高。自我同情和幸福感得分较高的助产专业学生报告的同情疲劳和职业倦怠较少。
助产专业学生在遭遇困难时可能会从“善待自己”中受益，这可能有助于他们为实践和学习中的情感需求做好准备。
营造、创造和培育促进对自己和他人给予同情关怀的环境，可能在帮助助产士在学位课程期间面对严格的教育和临床实践方面发挥重要作用。
