Consistently and actively engaging in self-care has been shown to improve the performance of mental health practitioners by reducing burnout, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and other stress-related psychological problems. Not only is this important to the individual practitioner's well-being, but ethical standards also mandate the recognition and remediation of any physical, mental, or emotional self-impairment to maintain high standards of care for clients. Professionals in small communities, like the Deaf community, however, confront unique challenges in attending to their self-care. This article investigates these challenges-as well as the rewards-experienced by Deaf and hearing counselors working in mental health care with deaf clients.
持续积极地进行自我关怀已被证明能够通过减少职业倦怠、替代性创伤、同情疲劳以及其他与压力相关的心理问题，来提高心理健康从业者的工作表现。这不仅对个体从业者的幸福很重要，而且道德标准也要求认识并纠正任何身体、心理或情感上的自我损害，以维持对客户的高标准护理。然而，像聋人社区这样的小社区中的专业人员在进行自我关怀时面临着独特的挑战。本文调查了在心理健康护理中为聋人客户提供服务的聋人和听力正常的咨询师所面临的这些挑战以及所获得的回报。
