“…Psycho-education, partnership with mental health professionals, and overall emotional support appeared to act as a buffer to compassion fatigue for chaplains who worked directly with injured soldiers at Fort Bragg in North Carolina (Stewart, 2012). Prevention of compassion fatigue, however, is challenging to provide.…”

“…Compassion has been traditionally reserved for parental and religious education; however, a developing trend to include compassion-related curriculum in the higher education system suggests compassion is an integral part of education in general (Campus Compact, 2012). Interestingly, most research exploring compassion education concerns the training of nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals (Shih, Hu, Lee, Yao, Chen, & Chiu, 2013;Horsburg & Ross, 2013), and 'compassion fatigue,' the burn-out of compassion, is a more commonly researched topic than its predictors (Stewart, 2012;Thomas, 2013). Research on the cultivation of compassion in undergraduate education is scarce.…”

Compassion is sorely needed in contemporary society including within faith based colleges. Past research has examined the prevention of compassion fatigue in healthcare professions, but relatively little research exists on the predictors of compassion, particularly among student populations. This study examines the factors associated with higher compassion levels in graduating college seniors revealing demographic, experiential, and belief-related factors contributing to compassion. Results suggest that the general profile of a highly compassionate graduating college senior is a student who is female, politically liberal, religious, studying the natural or social sciences, actively involved in community service or volunteering, and who has undergone workshops on racial/cultural awareness and sensitivity.

“…Despite this, there has been a growing interest in the topic of CF in several other human service professions such as mental health (Thompson, Amatea, and Thompson 2014), clergy (Stewart 2012); social work (Tosone, McTighe, and Bauwens 2014); physicians (Gleichgerrcht and Decety 2013); and trauma workers (Kjellenberg et al 2013). To date, no studies have been found that examine CF in the RT profession.…”

Being compassionate to others can take its toll on practitioners working in emotionally exhausting professions such as recreational therapy (RT). Research that examines compassion satisfaction/compassion fatigue (CS/CF) in allied health settings is in abundance, but is noticeably absent in RT settings. This paper examines the levels of CS/CF in students working at a therapeutic camp for youth with multiple disabilities in the United States. The findings of the study revealed that: (1) the sample scored in the "high" range on the CS subscale; "average" on the burnout subscale; and "low" in the secondary stress trauma (STS) subscale; and (2) significant differences were found in CS/CF scores based on age and academic major. This research also reveals the importance of training in advance of therapeutic camp experiences towards the end of increasing CS, reducing burnout and STS. The practical implications for students and recreational therapists point to the need for training, awareness of the signs of CF, and the need for effective self-care as strategies.
