“…In addition, the counselors supported and depended on their fellow counselors when they were exhausted and this helped them significantly with the counseling. This result is in line with other studies on counselors who participated in crisis intervention in disaster situations [29,30]. This suggests that encouragement and support among counselors is important in the counseling process for disaster crisis intervention as it helps them grow as counselors and demonstrate self-efficacy.…”

Background: In crisis intervention sites such as infectious disease disasters, counselors are repeatedly exposed, directly or indirectly, to the traumatic experiences of victims. Disaster counseling has a negative effect on counselors, which can eventually interfere with the counseling process for disaster victims. Therefore, exploring and understanding the experiences of counselors is necessary to ensure that qualitative counseling for disaster victims can be continuously and efficiently conducted. Objectives: This study investigated the experiences of counselors who participated in mental health counseling as psychological support for victims of the COVID-19 disaster in Korea. Design: This is a qualitative study. Participants: The study participants comprised 18 counselors who had mental health professional qualifications of level 2 or higher and who had provided mental health counseling for COVID-19 confirmed cases and quarantined persons. Methods: Data were collected using focus group interviews from February 21 to May 29, 2021. The duration of each interview was 60-90 min, and the data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: The final theme was "Continuing to walk this road anytime, anywhere." The participants' experiences were identified in four sub-themes: "being deployed to unprepared counseling," "encountering various difficulties," "feeling full of meaning and value," and "hoping to become a better counselor." Conclusions: In order to continuously provide qualitative counseling in case of an infectious disease disaster such as COVID-19, it is important to develop a qualification and competency strengthening program through education and training to secure the crisis intervention expertise of counselors according to the characteristics of the disaster. In addition, a psychological support manual for each disaster should be prepared at the national level according to the type of disaster.

“…Nam Hyun-Joo and Song Yeon-Joo [5] also reported that when corporate counselors perceive psychological burnout, their psychological health worsens, which negatively affects the quality of psychological services. Similar to this, psychological burnout not only deteriorates the psychological health of counselors but also affects their job efficiency, increases emotional exhaustion, and escalates severe job stress, negatively affecting their developmental competence, which is central to the quality of counseling [6,7]. The objective of this study is to explore conditions that can alleviate psychological burnout among counselors working in South Korea.…”

This study examined the influence of counselors’ sense of calling on psychological burnout, mediated by meaning of work and living a calling, based on the work as a calling theory (WCT) and preceding studies. Furthermore, the sequential mediating effects of meaning of work and living a calling were investigated. Data were collected from 420 Korean counselors working in counseling centers located nationwide and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that a sense of calling negatively impacted psychological burnout. Second, the sense of calling did not affect psychological burnout through the mediation of meaning of work. Third, the sense of calling negatively impacted psychological burnout through the mediation of living a calling. Fourth, the sense of calling negatively affected psychological burnout through the sequential mediation of meaning of work and living a calling. Based on this study’s findings, implications can be provided to enhance counselors’ professional calling and reduce psychological burnout, thereby aiding them in resolving their psychological issues during counseling practice and providing higher-quality psychological services to clients. Suggestions for improvements and future research are also discussed.

“…Burnout occurs when helping professionals, including counselors, experience physical, psychological, and emotional exhaustion (Maslach, 1976). As the result of burnout, counselors are vulnerable to chronic fatigue, emotional exhaustion, indifference, the sense that their work is meaninglessness, skepticism, decreased interest and concentration in client work, anxiety, low self-esteem, and identity confusion (Choi et al, 2015;Ko & Kim, 2021;Oh & Choi, 2020). Failing to cope appropriately with burnout has negative influences not only on counselors themselves but also their colleagues due to the contagiousness of the burnout symptoms (Yoon & Hong, 2017).…”

The current study investigated the mediation effect of self-focused attention on the relationship between South Korean novice counselors' perfectionism and psychological burnout. We also examined whether cognitive emotion regulation strategies moderated the mediation effect of self-focused attention with a sample of 208 South Korean novice counselors. Moderated mediation was tested with the PRO-CESS 2.16.3 macro for SPSS and the index of moderated mediation. Bootstrapping analyses were used to examine the mediation effect of self-focus on the relationship between perfectionism and psychological burnout. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was also conducted to examine the moderation of emotion regulation strategies. Findings indicate that self-focused attention partially mediated the relationship between perfectionism and psychological burnout. Moreover, the indirect effect of perfectionism on psychological burnout through self-focused attention varied depending on levels of adaptive emotion regulation strategies. We present implications for counseling and suggestions for future research in an international context.
