“…Možno to považovať za dôkaz toho, že sa psychológovia snažia uvedomovať si možný vplyv svojho fyzického a mentálneho zdravia na schopnosť pomáhať tým, s ktorými pracujú (APA, 2010). Hoci títo pracovníci majú aj vďaka svojmu vzdelaniu a pravidelným supervíziám dostatočné vedomosti o dôležitosti starostlivosti o seba ako možnej prevencii stresu a ďalších negatívnych javov plynúcich z pomáhania iným, často sa sami o seba nestarajú primerane (Norcross, Guy, 2007;Williams et al, 2010).…”

Vykonávanie pomáhajúcej profesie sa spája aj s vysokým prežívaním stresu. Cieľom tejto štúdie je porovnaťreprezentatívnu vzorku slovenských pomáhajúcich profesionálov poskytujúcich sociálne služby (N = 729) s americkými normami v porovnateľných skupinách. Slovenská a americká vzorka sa významne nelíšili v miere prežívaného stresu, ktorá bola posudzovaná Škálou vnímaného stresu (Cohen, Kamarck, Mermelstein, 1983), avšak celková sumarizovaná pracovná spokojnosť ktorá bola posudzovaná Dotazníkom pracovnej spokojnosti (Spector, 1985) bola priemerne nižšia v slovenskej populácii (Hedgesovo g = 0,21). U pomáhajúcich profesionálov sa merala aj miera vykonávaných aktivít starostlivosti o seba (dotazník VSS2, Lichner, Halachová, Lovaš, 2018). Výsledky ukazujú, že celková vyššia starostlivosť o seba sa spája s vyššou mierou pracovnej spokojnosti a s nižšou mierou prežívaného stresu. Štúdia rozoberá aj možné moderačné účinky vykonávanej starostlivosti o seba pri rozvoji stresu. Kľúčové slová: pomáhajúce profesie; stres; pracovná spokojnosť; starostlivosť o seba Level of self-care, perceived stress and overall job satisfaction and relationships between them in helping social services workers Abstract: Performing helping profession has been connected to higher perceived stress. The aim of this study is to describe and compare representative selected sample of Slovak social service professionals (N = 729) with US norms. Slovak and American sample did not differ significantly in the average level of stress assessed by Perceived stress scale (Cohen, Kamarck, Mermelstein, 1983). However, the average level of summarized job satisfaction assessed by Job satisfaction scale (Spector, 1985) was significantly lower in Slovak population of social service professionals (Hedges' g = 0.21). In addition, the level of performed self-care activities was measured by Questionnaire of performed self-care in the helping professions (VSS2, Lichner, Halachová, Lovaš, 2018). Results suggest that higher performed self-care is related to lower perceived stress and higher job satisfaction. The moderation analysis suggests that performing self-care may protect from development of stress.

“…Self-care practices can be varied for clinicians, and clinicians should be thoughtful about intentional self-care practices that develop a mindful, introspective practice. Specifically, I. D. Williams, Richardson, Moore, Gambrel, and Keeling (2010) personally engaged in a selfcare strategy and noted the impact on the experience on their well-being and work with clients. One of the researchers engaged in a mindfulness-based practice and reflected on their experience.…”

“…The reflections supported the benefits of mindfulness-even meditating for just 5 min. The researcher summed up that mindfulness helped them to track clients and themselves, to not take things personally, and to connect deeply with their clients (I. D. Williams, Richardson, Moore, Gambrel, & Keeling, 2010).…”

Mindfulness as a Moderator of Clinician History of Trauma on Compassion Satisfaction

Compassion satisfaction is an understudied phenomenon in the counseling literature. The impact of a clinician's history of trauma on compassion satisfaction and potential protective factors that may enhance feelings of compassion satisfaction is equally understudied. This study aimed to address models of mindfulness as a protective factor for the associations between a clinician's history of trauma and their experience with compassion satisfaction. The sample consisted of licensed clinicians (N ¼ 113) reporting on their past history of trauma, dispositional mindfulness, and compassion satisfaction. Results indicated that mindfulness moderated the association between a clinician's history of trauma and compassion satisfaction. Findings also show mindfulness to be significant in supporting a clinician's experience with compassion satisfaction, overall. Therefore, mindfulness should be further considered as an important safeguard for clinicians to consider in order to continue to enjoy their work. Implications are considered for clinicians, counseling training programs, and agency employers.

“…While little is written on Sabbath-keeping within the mental health community, there is considerable literature on self-care. Self-care is the combination of behaviors a mental health professional takes to decrease anxiety, emotional reactions, and stress that he or she experiences when working with clients (Snodgrass, 2014;Tan & Castillo, 2014;Williams, Richardson, Moore, Eubanks Gambrel, & Keeling, 2010). Often this includes dimensions of positive emotional, social, physical, and spiritual attention and reflection.…”

In a culture that values availability, productivity, and speed, a strong work ethic is honored and rewarded. Hard work is seen as virtuous, while rest is given little attention. However, Scripture notes the value of rhythmic, intentional rest practices (i.e., Sabbath-keeping) and cultivation of a Sabbath heart. This article explores the value in rest that attends to enjoying, worshipping, and receiving from God outside of the world of performance and productivity. Consideration is given to the ways that both our culture and profession present major barriers to embracing this virtuous rest for mental health professionals. A brief survey of those with training in a mental health field who profess a Judeo-Christian worldview was conducted. Results showed that those who identified themselves as Sabbath-keepers were significantly more satisfied with the amount and quality of their rest than those who did not identify as Sabbath keepers. Future research implications are discussed. "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, New International Version). The concepts of the Protestant work ethic, a selfmade man, and the American Dream are central aspirations in our culture. Hard work is praised, honored, and rewarded within the family, church, and workplace. Achievements and accomplishments, resumes and curriculum vitae, and paychecks and performance bonuses often result in hectic, overly full schedules and an anxious, overwhelmed population. People are more productive (International Labour Organization, 2007) and more driven to accomplish than at any other time in history. While work seems to be a cultural virtue, rest is often discussed as a means to recharge in order to do more work-or sometimes simply as a strategy to avoid burnout-most notably in people-helping profes
