Vicarious trauma and burnout: the role of self-compassion
Overview
This study surveys UK practitioner psychologists to examine the prevalence of vicarious trauma and burnout and their association with self-compassion. The results indicate that while higher self-compassion correlates with lower levels of these stressors, it does not significantly moderate the relationship between vicarious trauma and burnout. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in occupational health outcomes within psychology.
