Hospice care professionals (HCPs) experience a large
number of stressors in their work settings. The purpose of this study
was to investigate the relationship between self-care, compassion fatigue,
burnout, and compassion satisfaction among HCPs. Thirty-seven
HCPs were surveyed regarding their levels of compassion satisfaction,
compassion fatigue, and burnout. Respondents also reported the types
of self-care activities in which they took part. Results indicated a
relationship between self-care strategies and lower levels of burnout
and compassion fatigue, and higher levels of compassion satisfaction.
