This study examined the moderating effects of self-care on various compassion outcomes among mental health providers.
Mental health providers (n = 371; 94.1% female; mean age = 47.12) were surveyed regarding their level of self-care, history of adverse childhood experiences, and the degree of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion satisfaction experienced.
Results indicated that providers who endorsed a history of adverse childhood experiences (82.5%) also endorsed greater negative compassion outcomes than those who did not have such a history. Endorsement of self-care activities was a significant predictor of compassion satisfaction and burnout in the expected directions. Self-care served as a moderator between adverse childhood experiences and burnout.
Self-care is an effective method for decreasing negative compassion outcomes among mental health providers who work with trauma. It is important to develop effective training programs that promote self-care in personal and professional settings.
本研究考察了自我关怀对心理健康从业者各种同情结果的调节作用。
对 371 名心理健康从业者（94.1%为女性；平均年龄为 47.12 岁）进行了自我关怀水平、不良童年经历史以及倦怠、二次创伤压力和同情满足程度的调查。
结果表明，有不良童年经历史的从业者（82.5%）比没有这种经历史的从业者更有可能出现负面的同情结果。自我关怀活动的认可，是按照预期方向预测同情满足和倦怠的显著因素。自我关怀是不良童年经历与倦怠之间的调节因素。
自我关怀是减少从事创伤工作的心理健康从业者负面同情结果的有效方法。重要的是要制定有效的培训计划，在个人和专业环境中促进自我关怀。
