 Quality of Life and Compassion
Satisfaction/Fatigue and Burnout in Child Welfare Workers: A Study of
Child Welfare Workers in Community Based Care Organizations in Central
Florida
This report briefly reviews prior studies in
this area and presents the findings of a study conducted among 182 child
welfare workers in Central Florida that identified levels of compassion
satisfaction, compassion fatigue/vicarious trauma, and burnout among
workers, and workers' suggestions regarding ways to reduce stress. The
study also explored how demographic variables of age, gender, education,
length in the field and in the agency, and the nature of the position
were associated with different levels on these dimensions.
